I suffer from frequent tension headaches. What are some of the causes of these headaches and do you think that Indian Head Massage can help?
Yes. Indian Head Massage can certainly relieve and reduce painful symptoms. There are many blood vessels within the brain and these are interlaced with a large number of nerves. These nerves are extremely sensitive to blood pressure changes. Pain results due to many conditions that effect these changes. The many triggers of a headache are; eyestrain, sinusitis, influenza, hay fever, menstruation, high blood pressure, hunger, dehydration, sleep deprivation or loud noises. Taut muscles in the scalp can also cause this discomfort, being described as a tight band around the head. Emotional stress is often the prime culprit. Even knotted muscles in the upper back and neck can refer into the head. Indian Head Massage can certainly relieve these conditions thus reducing the painful symptoms. The many techniques implemented during a session encourage the decrease in muscle tension, the promotion of relaxation, the depletion of stress and the reduction of pain.
