Refresh your head

What is an Indian Head Massage?

As implied by the name, the Indian Head Massage is a form of massage therapy created in India thousands of years ago. It is deep style a massage derived from the Ayurvedic tradition that focuses on the head, shoulders and neck.

Through a variety of different techniques, the massage works to release any blocked negative energy in the body that may be manifesting itself as disease or injury in any one of the seven Chakras (energy centres) of the body. It does so by applying pressure to certain points on the neck, shoulders and head that correspond to each Chakra (which is a similar approach to that of reflexology). This unblocks the Chakras, and allows for a free flow of energy around the body, restoring the individual to optimum health and feelings of wellbeing.

What to Expect From an Indian Head Massage

An Indian Head massage is the ideal way to get a person “out of their head”, far far away from everyday emotional and mental stress.

The massage usually goes between 25 – 30 minutes, and may or may not use certain oils in the hair and on the body. Starting at the upper back, the Indian Head masseuse begins by applying pressure to points that dissolve knots and relax the muscles. They then move to the shoulders and upper arms to release other common areas of tension, and to the neck and head to release headache-causing blockages and to encourage better circulation of the cerebral fluid. The massage then progresses to the scalp, relaxing the entire head, encouraging circulation and stimulating hair growth. Lastly, the masseuse may choose to perform a gentle face massage that may relieve symptoms of sinusitis & headaches, and encourages good circulation and a glowing complexion.

Massage styles
Massage stimulates circulation of the blood and lymph fluids, fuels the muscles with fresh oxygen and nutrients while flushing away metabolic waste products, releases physical tension and soothes the nerves by lowering the stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine and by releasing endorphins in the brain, which have been known to be 200 times the strength of morphine. A massage irons out the wrinkles of tension in our body to leave us feeling rejuvenated and better. Massage affects the immune system as well.
You can have a Swedish massage, or go for a deep tissue technique. Sue Evans has also been trained in lymphatic drainage, trigger therapy, Indian head massage, pregnancy massage, reflexology, acupressure, shiatsu and hot stones.

Combine hot and cold stones for a speedy recovery
The use of stones in a treatment makes it an energy treatment - you can receive positive energy from the stones as they are charged by the full moon and because they come from the earth.

Experienced therapist Sue Evans uses Arizona desert stones and these are very clearing and cleansing. She can also use cool marble stones and crystals to emphasise healing effects.

Sue places stones on chakras and areas which need attentian. She also massages with them which can create a firmer, nurturing feeling. Two stones may be applied to the body at the same time for a sublime massage feeling. Sue uses over 72 stone if you have a top to toe treatment! It is such a blissful feeling on the face and toning too!

Hot works well for chronic pain. Cold stones work well for acute injuries and together they speed up the recovery of injuries and aches and pains. They can also be used at the same time, one hand with a hot stone, the other with a cold stone and Sue can then give you an invigorating massage if you have cellulite or jet-lagged legs!

The hot stones are deeply relaxing. The heat penetrates deep into the muscles, in fact a hot stone massage is supposed to be 10 times more effective than a regular massage.

It is one of those must-try treatments, with a deluxe, spa-like feel. Why not indulge even further and add an aromatherapy blend or facial to the experience! Tasters are 30 mins.

Discover renewed wellbeing with the powers of scents and touch
Aromatherapy uses the purest plant essence in the form of organic essential oils, which are extracts from various parts of plants, fruits, flowers, bark, roots, or resin. Essential oils contain dozens of powerful complex natural chemicals that have beneficial properties. Due to the diversity of essential oils and their individual therapeutic properties, the range of benefits and effects of Aromatherapy is wide ranging.

Most Aromatherapists will have a holistic approach to client consultation. This provides the information necessary to select the appropriate essential oils for the maximum therapeutic benefit. The selected essential oils are blended with a carrier/base massage oil to create a unique mix for each client’s individual needs. This Aromatherapy blend is usually applied to the skin with traditional body massage. Other massage techniques such as deep tissue work may also be used, depending on the Aromatherapist’s practice and the client’s requirement.

Benefits and Effects

Aromatherapy treatments have both physiological and psychological effects. The combination of massage and the medicinal and therapeutic qualities of the essential oils (molecules both inhaled [aroma] and absorbed through the skin) can soothe, revitalise, uplift the spirit, encourage positive thinking and boost the immune system enabling the body to heal itself.
