About Indian Head Massage
It is an unusual person who can say that they are not affected by the pressures and stresses of everyday living. It is common for us to hold tension in our shoulders, neck and head as a symptom of this. It is not uncommon for stress to lead to more serious problems - Indian head massage can help!
History
For over a thousand years Indian head massage (IHM) has been a traditional practice within the family, for treating and conditioning the scalp and hair. Indeed 4000 year old texts from the ancient ayurvedic tradition of preventative medicine have references to the benefits of massage.
Indian Head Massage (Champissage) in the West
Indian head massage was introduced to the west notably by Narendra Mehta in the 1970s. He came to England to train as a physiotherapist, and realised that that there was a potential for this type of treatment to be introduced, as western massage procedures often stopped short of treating the head. He extended Indian head massage treatments to include the back, neck, arms and face, together with balancing the chakras (centres of energy).
 How does Indian Head Massage work and what can it do?
Muscular tension can inhibit blood flow and when affecting the head may play a part in developing stress related headaches, migraine and even hair loss. This makes us feel uncomfortable and can lead to fatigue generally. Stress and tension go hand in hand, so it follows that by reducing physical tension through massage, mental feelings of stress may become less acute, reducing muscular tension again, promoting a 'virtuous cycle' of improvement and feeling better. This is extremely important since it is known that long-term stress can lead to many illnesses, or can make existing illness worse.
Just some of the conditions where Indian head massage may help are muscular tension, migraine, eye strain, blocked and inflamed sinuses, and any illness where stress may play a part, such as insomnia or asthma. It may also help with some psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
Finally, the importance of the 'feel-good factor' cannot be overstated in relation to our health. Indian head massage is a most enjoyable treatment that can lead to powerful feeling of wellbeing.
