A BRIEF HISTORY

Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for centuries and is based upon the Ayurvedic healing system.  The word “Ayurvedic” translates as the “science of life” and is based on achieving inner peace. Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine native to the Indian sub-continent and those that practise believe that in order to complete and balance the body’s natural healing system the mind, body and soul must be in balance.  Techniques have been handed down through generations and is practised by the entire family from the age of three, in their daily routine.
