In traditional Indian Head Massage, warm essential oils are applied to the hair and scalp to stimulate blood circulation, which promotes healing and healthy hair growth. The massage also extends to the upper chest, neck, shoulders, and arms, helping to relieve tension, reduce muscle tightness, alleviate stress, and promote relaxation.
CARRIER OIL: Carrier oils are usually vegetable oils, such as coconut or avocado oil, derived from the seeds, kernels, or nuts of a plant. They dilute essential oils so you can use them safely. The treatment will involve applying a mixture of carrier oils (base oil) and pure essential oils for optimal benefits.

Essential oils are fragrant plant materials like leaves, flowers, bark, and roots that are distilled. However, applying them directly to the skin can cause irritation, flushing, or burning. Carrier oils are added to prevent this. Highly concentrated essential oils have many benefits for emotional, physical, and mental health. Their pure aroma activates brain parts that directly influence mood and emotions.
