The origins of Indian Head Massage can be traced back to approximately 4,000 years ago. The Indians used a form of massage incorporated within the ancient healing art of Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the ancient practise of health care.

Massage has always played an important role in the everyday life of Indian people. From birth to adulthood, family members share the tradition of massaging each other which lends itself to bonding and caring.

Indian Head Massage is performed in Indian barbers shop, using pungent oils on the hair such as mustard and sesame seed and those oils specifically designed to promote hair growth. Thanks to Indian Head Massage, you will rarely see an Indian woman with unhealthy looking hair.
