Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage has been practiced in India for over a thousand years.
In 1981, Narendra Mehta developed an advanced form of IHM, which includes not only the head and hair, as in the traditional IHM, but also the neck, shoulders and upper arms. Later he introduced to the treatment an Ayurvedic element of chakra energy balancing and massage of the face and ears and called it Indian Champissage.
The treatment involves massage, friction and the stimulation of pressure points on the upper back, upper arms, neck, head and face, ending with a chakra energy balancing.
The treatment can be performed over the clothes or with oils on the skin, and can last half an hour or one hour. In a half hour session the massage will be given with the client sitting on a chair, but in an hour session for the last part of the treatment the client will be lying down.
The benefits of this advanced massage are both physical and mental and includes:
- Deep relaxation of mind and body
- Relief from neck, shoulder and upper back stiffness or pain
- Relaxation of muscles and break down of fibrous adhesion (knots and nodules)
- Restores joint movements and mobility
- Loosens the scalp and promotes hair growth
- Helps stress related sleep disorders
- Stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation providing extra oxygen to the brain and the tissues, helping to drain toxins away
- Helps sinus problems and congestion
- Relieves eyestrain, tension headaches and migraines
- Helps mental tiredness and anxiety
- Improves concentration, clear thinking and mood
- Relieves mental and emotional stress
- Brings a sense of calmness and tranquility
IHM addresses the physical, mental and emotional effects of stress in a particularly effective way, re-energising and balancing the whole person.
"I have had reflexology and Indian Head Massage with Sonia, and both left me feeling deeply relaxed and really refreshed. She creates real trust and is a skilled and genuine healer."
