Indian Head Massage

A Brief History

Massage has always played an important part in Indian life.  It features in the earliest Ayurvedic texts, which date back nearly 4000 years.  It developed in the Himalayan region of India by Indian holy men who were scientists and experts in their field of herbal medicine.

In India, massage has always been an important part of Ayurvedic medicine.  It is thought to directly benefit all body systems, stimulating them to work  more efficiently. It also calms and relaxes the mind and releases tension and emotions in the body that can lead to pain and disease.

Massage is part of daily life in India.  babies are massaged daily for the first three years and from the age of 6 they are deemed old enough to give massage.  Massage occurs across the generations in India as an integral part of daily life.
