Ayurvedic Head Massage

The Indian Head Massage is an ancient Indian healing practice found in Ayurveda, the Indian medical system (approx. 5, 000 years old) In Sanskrit, Ayur means life and Veda means knowledge. Ayurveda emphasizes treating the whole body as a system. Ayurveda recognizes that maintaining balance of the elements in the body and mind is essential for optimal health and the process of finding that balance begins with self-awareness.

Experience the healing art of touch with the Indian Head Massage. Using a base oil, aromatic scalp formula and essential oil, the massage starts with the upper arms, shoulders, neck, the forehead, temples, entire scalp and face. Leave feeling deeply relaxed, restored, grounded and uplifted in mind and body.

In Ayurveda, the body is considered the temple, and the head is considered the altar of the temple. Once the mind relaxes into a state free of dis-ease, the body state can also be freed from dis-ease. The body and mind are connected as one.
