Unlock true relaxation by focusing on the often-overlooked area above the neck. Our Indian Scalp Massage training recognizes the scalp and face as key tension zones, where stress may build up over months or years.

Delve into the ancient Indian therapeutic tradition of manual neck and head massage, a practice that has stood the test of time for millennia.

Shiro Abhyanga which means in Sanskrit: Shiro (head) and Abhyanga (oil massage)

Shiro Abhyanga is defined as a complete massage that brings relaxation to the upper body by involving the head, neck and shoulder areas. These areas, being subject to the accumulation of tension and stress, can sometimes be difficult to release.

Many people cannot truly relax in a holistic way unless they relax the area above the neck.
This is why this ancient therapeutic method has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Fortunately, it is now available to you without having to travel to India.

What are the benefits?
Shiro Abhyanga relaxes not only the physical body but also the mental and emotional body by helping to reduce nervousness, muscle tension, fatigue and headaches. It also improves sleep, concentration and productivity, clears the mind and calms the soul.

From a capillary point of view, it activates blood circulation and helps oxygenate cells. It stimulates connective tissue and helps regulate hair growth and nutrition, improving hair texture, density and volume.

What are its advantages?
This technique will be a valuable tool for hairdressers, beauticians, massage therapists, and anyone wishing to bring well-being and kindness to those around them.
