Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system. It has been practiced in India for over a thousand years, originally by women who used the technique to keep their hair thick, healthy and in beautiful condition. The massage stimulates the circulation of the scalp which nourishes the hair roots. Special oil, generally an Ayurvedic preparation containing five herbs, may be used to improve hair texture.
