A friend of mine is doing a course in Indian head massage and needed case-study participants for her course report. I was very eager to volunteer, because I had heard of the massage many times before yet never quite knew what it was like. I was simply curious to experience it myself and I am glad that I did!
Now that I have had three sessions of it, I can truly recommend this type of massage to anyone, but in particular to those who suffer from headaches, migraines and sinusitis. The massage is also excellent for anyone looking for some relaxation and for releasing stress, as well as for improving the quality of sleep. I have problems with sinusitis often, as well as with headaches, for which the massage was ideal.
Indian head massage originates form India, as you might have guessed. In Asia, the massage is only done in the head and neck, but in the West, it has been mixed with Western style massage and been extended to shoulders and the upper body. This is what makes it particularly appealing to us here in the West who spend a lot of time sitting on the desk and in other mundane tasks.
From the link www.bodytissue.com/library/massage-therapy-articles/indian-head-massage, one can find more specific information on the massage... But below is a list of benefits that have been associated with the massage - isn't the list long enough for you to want to give it a try?
