The Benefits of Ayurvedic Head Massages

Massages are the key to relaxation. After a long day at work, a hard workout, or “just because,” everyone deserves a little me time, and it’s best spent at Evolv Wellness. At Evolv, our specialists offer a handful of treatments that can give you the relief you desire. Whether you’re looking for a full body massage or just a foot rub, we’re here to help. Studies show that when you get a massage, it takes away any toxins released in the body. A massage tends to the muscles and releases them into the bloodstream to be cleaned providing full relief.

One of our most popular massages is the Ayurveda Head Massage. It is a traditional Ayurvedic massage using specially blended herbal oils to soothe the nerves and support the health and well-being of the senses. This subtle blend of oils is used to massage the head, neck, and shoulders. As it permeates the surface, it nourishes the hair and scalp and stimulates the flow of Prana, Qi, or energy, throughout the body alleviating any form of stagnation or blockage. In doing so, it has a profound effect on the mind to induce a state of tranquility while supporting restful sleep.

What oil is used for Ayurveda Head Massage?

During an Ayurveda Head Massage, Sesame is the most popular oil to use. Because it’s very nourishing to the skin and hair, it makes a perfect soothing massage oil. If it is not available,  olive oil is another great alternative for an Ayurveda Head Massage. Both oils can also help get rid of dandruff when penetrated the scalp. Sesame and Olive oil both particularly suitable for dry hair, skin, and scalps.

Benefits of an Ayurveda Head Massage

Increased Circulation to Scalp

A scalp massage can help improve the circulation of blood to the head and face. Massages are usually done in a repetitive motion, allowing blood to flow easily. Increased circulation can promote healthy hair growth. The oil used in the massage will also help moisturize the scalp.

Promotes deep relaxation and the release of tension

After a long day of work, a massage can promote deep relaxation and the release of tension. We get it, your boss added more into your workload and someone ate your lunch out of the fridge. You deserve a massage.

Supports balance of the brain’s chemistry and hormones

Your brain’s daily functions can be affected by hormones that are triggered by your brain’s chemistry. If you’re having a bad day, your body knows this. As mentioned before, toxins from your brain can be released into your body causing overall poor health. An Ayurveda Head Massage also helps strengthen the nervous system.

In summary, not all massages are the same. At Evolv Wellness, we only strive for the best and want to prove you with complete relaxation in a peaceful environment. An Ayurveda Head Massage can work wonders and relieve the headaches you acquire going through the trials and tribulations of life.
