Indian head massage focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck and shoulders, having many benefits for both physical and mental wellbeing. It can help to alleviate stress and relieve headaches and insomnia, but also helps to stimulate the lymphatic system, thus aiding detoxification and easing sinus problems.
