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 important energy centres within your body and when people are stressed the tension accumulates 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 effect however, is not only physical; it works on your emotions too, calming the spirit and aiding relaxation.

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.

Indian Head Massage can relieve stress and tension by:

improving blood circulation to the head and neck area before speeding up the interchange of oxygen,nutrients, carbon dioxide and waste

improving lymphatic drainage from the head and neck so aiding the removal of waste and toxins

relieving tension in muscle tissue

helping improve mobility in the neck and shoulder area

relieving mental and physical strain improving concentration

relieving eyestrain, headaches, sinusitis, congestion and insomnia

helping to clear the mind and is revitalising so improves alertness and concentration levels

providing an antidote to stress, anxiety and mental tension

balancing the Chakras (energy centres) by releasing stagnant energy to
help the body work in a more harmonious manner

Hopi Ear Candles

Treatments with Hopi Ear Candles (also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy) are a pleasant and non-evasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. These ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.

This is an ancient and natural therapy handed down by many civilisations although the practice reached the modern world via the Native American Hopi Indians of North Arizona (it's interesting to note that Hopi means peaceful people). The candles are still made today on the basis of the old traditional formula originating from the Hopi Indians.

The candles are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax. The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle "chimney", although some of them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue after removal from the ear, or could even work their way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.

People treated with Hopi Candles find that they help with:

Excessive or compacted wax in the ears

ear/colds&flu/headaches/migraine
