Indian Head Massage (Shiroabhyanga)

Indian Head Massage is a face, hair, neck and shoulder massage that is very commonly practiced in India. It helps relax and strengthen facial muscles, relieve eyestrain and headaches, improve concentration, boost the immune system, drain excess tissue fluid, nourish hair and realign the higher chakras.

It can be with or without upper body clothes. A choice of traditional base oils is available, including sesame, olive, mustard, and ayurvedic oils. The oil is warmed for you in a traditional brass teapot. Classically, it forms a wonderful treatment as the first part of a full body Ayurvedic Massage with Shirodhara.
