Indian head massage

Indian head massage has been part of Indian family life for centuries. The skills are passed down through generations. The therapy involves massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, upper arms, face and head. It can improve the quality of skin and hair, promotes flow of nutrients to the head, improves removal of waste products and breaks down adhesions in the shoulder muscles.
