Indian Head Massage
 An
Indian Head Massage dispels stress,
relieves tension in the neck, head
and shoulders and promotes healthy
hair. It is a safe and simple yet
extremely effective form of massage
that can assist hair growth and also
provide relief from aches and pains.
The head, neck and shoulders are
the most important energy centres
within your body. Think for a moment,
when you are stressed or angry where
does the tension seem to accumulate?
In the neck, shoulders or in the form
of a headache. In extreme cases it
can manifest itself as hair loss.
Indian Head Massage involves working
with a firm and gentle rhythm to help
unknot blockages and so relieve this
uncomfortable tension. The head and
hair are very sensitive as they are
full of nerve endings. This makes
them very receptive to touch, massaging
the head and hair is deeply soothing
and relaxing.
It not only improves blood circulation
to the head and neck area before speeding
up the interchange of oxygen, nutrients,
carbon dioxide and waste, but also
improves lymphatic drainage from the
head and neck so aiding the removal
of waste and toxins.
Reflexology
 Reflexology
is a Complementary Therapy that works
on the feet or hands enabling the
body to heal itself. Following illness,
stress, injury or disease, it is in
a state of "imbalance",
and vital energy pathways are blocked,
preventing the body from functioning
effectively. Reflexology can be used
to restore and maintain the body's
natural equilibrium and encourage
healing.
A Reflexologist uses hands only to
apply pressure to the feet. For each
person the application and the effect
of the therapy are unique. Sensitive,
trained hands can detect tiny deposits
and imbalances in the feet and by
working on these points the Reflexologist
can release blockages and restore
the free flow of energy to the whole
body. Tensions are eased, and circulation
and elimination is improved. This
gentle therapy encourages the body
to heal itself, often counteracting
a lifetime of misuse.
