A True Stress Repellent: Indian Head Massage

The Indian head massage originated in India thousands of years ago. It is a deep massage with techniques derived from the Ayurvedic tradition, but focusing on the neck, shoulders, and the head. This type of massage aims to release blocked negative energy that may be causing injury or disease in one of the body's seven Chakra points or energy centres. Pressure is applied to certain areas on the shoulders, head, and neck, and those areas correspond to one Chakra point each. When pressure is applied, Chakras are unblocked and energy can freely flow around the body again to restore one's well-being and overall health.

When you're stressed, you tend to feel different ailments and health issues such as stiff and painful muscles and joints, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and anxiety. Stress blocks good Chakra flow, causing those conditions. One way to relievestress is through an Indian head massage service. The massage can last 25 to 45 minutes, depending on your condition, and it may or may not use special oils. A session typically starts with a masseuse applying pressure to areas where there are stiff muscles to relax them and dissolve the knots. The upper arms and shoulders are next to release tension, and then the head and neck to release blockages that cause headaches and prevent the proper circulation of your cerebral fluid. Your entire head will be relaxed by a scalp massage to improve circulation and stimulate hair growth. Finally, the masseuse may gently massage your face to relieve headaches and sinusitis, and to stimulate good blood circulation for a glowing complexion.

Indian head massage may be beneficial if you're stressed because it relieves built-up tension that can cause back and neck pain, migraines, and headaches. It stimulates lymphatic drainage to detoxify your body, promote clarity for improved concentration, increase muscle tone, calm the respiratory system, and it can boost your overall immunity. Your overall mental health can also improve as an Indian head massage helps relief symptoms of depression and anxiety, promote a sense of calm and relaxation, renew your energy, and boost your memory.

A Must to Have In London Every Week: Reflexology Massage

Some body aches and pains can be relieved by applying pressure on specific areas and points of your body, such as your ears, hands, and feet. This is the principle behind reflexology, which applies pressure to the reflex points corresponding to various organs and bodily systems. For example, pressure points in the arch of your foot are related to the bladder point, so when a reflexologist applies appropriate pressure to that area with their fingers or thumb, that pressure directly affects the functioning of your bladder. This is why reflexology is considered an affordable and non-invasive alternative for relieving illnesses and improving the body's functions.

It is important to note that reflexology is not a cure. Rather, it is used as a preventative measure or to complement other treatment options. A wide range of conditions can be addressed by reflexology, including headaches, asthma, kidney function, sinusitis, PMS, cardiovascular problems, cancer treatment, anxiety, and diabetes.

Since the early 90s, reflexology has grown increasingly popular across Europe. In Denmark, studies revealed that reflexology has helped minimise absenteeism and sick leaves, saving companies money and increasing productivity. Employees also reported partial or complete improvement in conditions that have been aggravated or caused by stress. The London work force is experiencing the benefits of reflexology, too, especially when offered by professionalmassage therapists and reflexologists.

Reflexology can be conducted at least once a week with massage therapies. Both are different in terms of approach.  A massage systematically manipulates the body's soft tissues through techniques like stroking, kneading, friction, and tapping to relax your muscles, while reflexology focuses on the pressure and reflex points in the hands, ears, and feet through micromovement techniques like finger or thumb walking, and hook and backup to induce a response. Basically, a massage works from the outside in, while reflexology works inside out to release your tension.
