Indian Head Massage is a treatment that has evolved from a traditional family ritual that has been practised in India for around five thousand years. The art of Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient system of medicine known as Ayurveda.
The word Ayurveda means the science of life and longevity and is based on the principles of holistic healing and physical, emotional and spiritual well being. The Ayurveda view is that good health results from harmony within oneself and the balance of three life giving forces, Vata, Pitta and Kapha also known as Doshas.
Massage is an important part of the Ayurvetic teachings and of family life in Indian tradition. It is believed that massage preserves the bodies life force and energy and that it is the most powerful way of relaxing and rejuvenating.
Although having been in existence in India for over five thousand years, Indian Head Massage is only recently gaining recognition in the West as an amazing and valuable experience for anyone wishing to relax, rewind and rejuvenate.
