Tibetan Head Massage

Welcome to my Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage page

"The Ultimate Relaxation"..............

Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage is a unique and deeply relaxing therapy which utilises the ancient wisdom and philosophies of Tibetan Ayurveda and is different to Indian Head Massage. It is a blend of modern and western massage, and together with genuine Tibetan acupressure techniques, incorporates traditional principles and theories of ancient Tibetan medicine. Head Massage was once used by Tibetan doctors as a remedy for the following:

Insomnia, Stress, Anxiety, Restlessness, Dizziness, Unbalanced Emotions, Depression, Muscle Cramps and Stiffness and Backache. Tibetan acupressure is different from the chinese meridian or Indian Ayurvedic marma techniques and the points used in the therapy are unique to Tibetan medicine. The aim of the treatment is to make a positive change in your energy with specialised massage techniques to promote the following benefits:

* Holistic - brings balance and harmony to the mind, body and soul thereby encouraging the body's natural ability to heal itself

* Promotes deep relaxation

* Increases circulation to scalp

* Increases oxygen which aids healing and nourishes the tissue

* Improves hair and scalp condition

* Promotes hair growth

* Aids lymphatic drainage and eliminates toxins

* Increases endorphin production (feel good hormones)

* Relieves stress

* Relieves depression

* Relaxes eye and facial muscles

* Relieves headaches

* Relieves muscle tension/stiffness

* Promotes a deep feeling of inner peace and calm

Buddhists believe the root of all disease lies in our ignorance of the true nature of reality. This causes conflicting emotions that in turn cause three mental 'poisons' - attachment, hatred and confusion. These poisons pollute the mind and cause imbalances which give rise to illness and 'dis-ease'(when the body is out of balance). Other causes for imbalance include trauma, climate, season, environment, improper conduct and unsuitable diet.

Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage promotes extremely deep relaxation. It is well known that relaxation has profound physical and psychological benefits. Relaxation lowers blood pressure, reduces the physical effects of stress by having a positive effect on the nervous system, reduces muscular tension and pain and increases the production of endorphins - the body's own natural pain killers. Studies in Florida have also concluded that receiving regular massage increases mental function and the ability to solve problems.

Treatment involves lying down comfortably whilst fully clothed on the therapy couch while I perform massage to your scalp, face, neck, throat, shoulders and upper arms, using warm traditional Ayurvedic or Aromatherapy oil (optional).
