History of Indian Head Massage
Head Massage has been practiced in India for over a thousand years and is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing which is believed to be the oldest form of medicine.
The practice began with women who used it to treat their daughter's hair. Barbers also used it as part of the process in cutting a male client's hair, but the techniques used were more vigorous and deeper than those used by the women. The tradition was passed down within Indian families from one generation to the next but remained within India.
In 1981 a blind Indian man named Narenda Mehta began to practice Head Massage in the UK. It became popular in the 1990's and was adapted to western tastes so it now involves massage of the shoulders, arms,neck, scalp and face and is known as Indian Head Massage.
