India’s 4,000-year-old ayurveda medicinal system recognizes that a head massage using aromatic oils combined with an upper body massage will induce a state of peace and calm. It helps to relieve stress, reduce tension and improve flexibility in the shoulders, neck and arms. It boosts circulation, which can in turn help to reduce hair loss, premature balding and greying, and relieves scalp conditions.

The popularity of this modality is increasing, particularly as it can be completed while seated and fully clothed in any location.
