‘The
sense of relaxation and well-being that head massage brings helps
considerably to counteract the many stresses and strains of modern
living’ ‘Regular head massage is wonderfully relaxing, enhances the health of the scalp and promotes the growth of lustrous hair’

What is Advanced Indian Head Massage?
Since at least 1,000 years ago Head Massage has been an important part of life in India. At the barbers, in families, and at the beach; head massage and treatments for the hair have traditionally been available, given and received.
Whilst introducing this to the UK in the 1980's, Dr Narendra Mehta added more massage and techniques to make this treatment a wholly de-stressing, relaxing experience.
This advanced technique includes more than just rubbing the head and hair as from those traditions. It includes massage of the upper back, upper arms, shoulders, neck, head, face and ears with energy balancing. This is all done whilst the client remains seated and fully clothed because there is no need to use oils. Some clients request oils are used on their hair, in which case Jenny applies Ayurvedic Hair Oil which can promote the health and growth of hair.
How can Advanced Indian Head Massage help?
The massage movements help eliminate toxins, stimulate blood flow, and release muscle tension including relieving tension headaches, eyestrain and sinusitis. Overall benefits can be experienced as better sleep, better posture, improved sense of well-being and mood, with less anxiety, depression, stress, and loneliness, and clearer more relaxed thinking and concentration.
The massage and other techniques used on the head can enhance the health of the scalp and promote lustrous hair growth. It has even been known to treat premature greying and baldness.
The levels of relaxation felt, can be equivalent to a full-body massage!
