“The art of Indian Head Massage is an Ayurvedic form of healing and relaxation which is used widely in Asia, mainly by masseurs and hairdressers to combat daily tension and stress. The technique has been passed down families for several generations and brings immediate relief and relaxation on a deeper level than is possible with different massage techniques. (…)
Above description comes from the book “Authentic Indian Head Massage ‘Malish’” by Kumar.
An Indian Head Massage soothes, comforts and harmonises the body’s natural balance, helping to promote physical and psychological wellbeing, which will leave the client with the sense of focus, clarity and vision. It incorporates the laying on of hands, thumbs and finger pressure, effleurage and friction movements.
Acupressure points are stimulated, which improves the circulation of the blood and lymphatic fluid and the broader physical techniques reduce muscular and nervous tension. The cells are provided with an opportunity for optimal oxygenation, and the improved circulation stimulates a faster flow and excretion of both physical and emotional toxins.”
