Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over 5000 years. Coming from the Ayurveda holistic healing system of medicine. Traditionally it was practised by women to improve and keep their hair shiny and in good condition. The techniques were passed down from generation to generation and babies and young children were massaged everyday and then taught to give a massage to other family members. Men would receive a very vigorous head massage from their barber when they went to have a hair cut.

Today’s Indian Head Massage is a less vigorous massage adapted for the west incorporating the upper back, neck, shoulders and face.
