5 benefits of head massage

Jacques Roche Blog Head


Do you like to have your scalp massaged? 

Ever thought about the benefits of this type of massage therapy? 

There is far more to a head massage than simply combating strain and anxiety. This is an Ayurvedic form of relaxation. As well as healing and relaxing, a head massage helps enhance the energy flow by massaging the head, shoulders, and neck. But here is why you should get more head massages.

Massage helps to slow down the heart rate and reduce blood pressure: high blood pressure is called the silent killer since there are no symptoms. Women are also subject to high blood pressure. Massage is a natural method of tackling high blood pressure problems: there are no adverse side effects. Head massage, according to research studies, can minimize unstable blood pressure in addition to reducing stress hormone levels, decreasing the likelihood of kidney failure or heart attacks.

Massage also helps to enhance blood circulation: sluggish blood flow can lead to fatigue and aches. While this may well be owing to poor blood circulation, head massage, using pressure point techniques can speed up blood flow from the blocked areas, encouraging fresh blood to the area. With regular circulation, oxygen-rich blood can restore damaged and tense muscles. Massage helps flush out lactic acid and enhance the movement of lymph fluid, removing waste from muscles and internal organs. All in all, head massages help you to lead a healthier life.

A professional massage helps increase circulation to the scalp: a head, neck, and shoulder massage not only augments blood circulation but also promotes healthy hair growth. Massage stimulates blood vessels of the scalp, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicles. When a head massage is combined with the right oils, it can provide treatment for dandruff. Using appropriate essential oils can help to speed up hair growth, fostering shiny, thick, and healthy-looking hair.

Massage is known to relieve headaches: a head, neck, and shoulder massage can alleviate tension headaches, reducing migraine headaches in most people. It is normal to have tension in the neck, head, and upper back. However, massaging the relevant muscles and ironing out the knots by putting pressure on these areas stimulates blood flow and cerebral fluid.

Massage is associated with better sleep: many insomnia sufferers can benefit from having a head, neck, and shoulder massage. Hurtling along in our modern lives, many of us simply accept insomnia as part of life’s busyness. It is well known that insomnia can lead to health issues. A good head massage induces relaxation, allowing one to fall asleep and remain asleep.

To conclude

A head, neck, and shoulder massage can help with more than improved blood circulation, thicker and faster hair growth, fewer tension headaches, and improved lymphatic drainage: it affords a renewed feeling of well-being. A head massage is a means of attaining contentment and general well-being.

LESSONS IN MINDFULNESS FROM THE TAO OF POOH

It’s nearly four decades since Benjamin Hoff released his bestseller, The Tao of Pooh. The book focused on Taoist life lessons. Taoism is a philosophy with its origins in China. Taoism teaches listeners how to live in harmony with the universe. Benjamin did show that practitioners are not automatically wise women and men from the Far East. Rather, the real master of Tao was Winnie the Pooh. The Tao of Pooh offers precious life lessons that truly resonate with our new reality. The central character of the book is Winnie the Pooh. Winnie personifies the Taoist belief of non-action or merely being. Like Piglet, Owl, Tigger, and Eeyore, other characters represent the human  predisposition to overcomplicate things in life. Taoism: Tao means ‘path’ or ‘way,’ and Taoism has its roots in an ancient book written in about the 3rd century BC −Tao Te Ching (The Way and its Power) by  Laozi;. However, some believe the book was written by different authors. Still, in simple terms, the philo...

6 Tips for the ultimate Mediterranean bathroom

A bathroom can be expensive to decorate, but it can also add much value to your property. However, if you need to correct mistakes, not only could the renovations upset your budget, but also can greatly reduce any rate of return on your investment. The best option, therefore, is to plan your bathroom with professionals, such as bathroom designers, who can advise you on quality tiles and fittings, and make recommendations for reliable tilers and plumbers. However, besides the functionality of the bathroom, over and above the layout and plumbing, most of us are more concerned with an aesthetic appearance. If, for instance, your main bedroom already sports the Mediterranean style, you might want that style flowing into your bathroom, creating a connection between the two spaces. 1 The choice between classic and modern Deciding between a modern bathroom, or a classic interpretation of the Mediterranean style will depend on your own preference.
