What is Indian Head Massage? And it’s application
a) Indian Head Massage is a seated massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, arms, scalp and face. It helps with muscular tension that often leads to headaches. It can be deeply relaxing, and most helpful to people who hunch over their computers or car steering wheels
b) Indian Head Massage is a real stress-buster, and can be quite soporific. It is useful for the relief of headaches, eyestrain, sinus problems and muscular tension in the neck and shoulders. It improves circulation, helps with the dispersal of toxins, and aids mental tiredness and emotional stress.
The type of Indian Head massage used today in the UK was brought over from India in the seventies. It combines the traditional massage of the hair with oils, that was practiced by mothers on their daughters and so passed down through the generations, with a more vigorous type of massage performed on the neck and shoulders by barbers when men went for a shave.
What is Aromatherapy Massage? And it’s applications
a) Aromatherapy massage uses essential oils of plants in relaxing body massage. The natural Healing powers of the oils combine with therapeutic massage to help to heal physical or emotional symptoms. Each blend of oils is chosen, at the time of massage, specifically for the individual, dependent upon their needs.
b) Essential Oils are natural substances, extracted from fruits, flowers, roots, trees or herbs. Each oil has its own therapeutic properties. Carefully chosen essential oils can influence the body and mind, being uplifting or relaxing, stimulating or soothing. The aroma alone stimulates nerve endings in the brain to bring about a sense of relaxation or to refresh the mood.
The natural healing powers of the Essential Oils, when diluted in a carrier oil, combine with therapeutic massage to promote and maintain health and vitality and to counteract the stresses and strains of modern life.
Essential oils are extremely powerful. They should always be used in dilution, never taken internally, and are best used on the advice of a professional therapist. Oils may be suggested for home use in the bath, or inhalation, in a cream or carrier oil, or a compress.
