What Is Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage, as its name suggests, originated in India more than one thousand years ago and was used as a technique for grooming by women as it helped to strengthen and improve the fullness of the hair. This was achieved by stimulating the pressure points on the scalp and became part of everyday life that was practiced on young and old alike. It became a tradition that was handed down through the generations from mother to daughter.

This form of treatment is becoming increasingly popular in the West and has evolved to not only include massage movements of the head and scalp but also the upper back, shoulders, neck, arms, head, face and ears.
