WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE AND AFTER TREATMENT

INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

PRIOR TO TREATMENT

Treatment involves massaging the neck, shoulders, scalp, and face. Prior to treatment, remove upper garments and neck jewellery, and use oils on the head and scalp. Dry hair is recommended, and makeup should be avoided.

AFTERCARE ADVICE

An Indian Head Massage can have a profoundly relaxing effect on you, so you must be fully present when you leave the treatment room.

Keep hydrated for the rest of the day. It is also a good idea to drink plenty of water BEFORE & AFTER your treatment.,

To experience a fully beneficial Indian Head Massage treatment, you should avoid the following for the next 24 hours;

smoking
drugs
alcohol
caffeine
eating heavy meals (especially spicy food)
undertaking a long drive and strenuous activity

Schedule appointments on days with a slower pace and avoid strenuous activities afterwards to allow the body to relax and absorb the therapeutic effects. –
Headaches after massages can be caused by dehydration, scent sensitivity, muscle tension, increased circulation, or blood pressure changes.
To help the oils settle, avoid baths or showers after treatment. If you must shower, use a warm one and apply shampoo once or twice while your hair is still dry for best results.

HOW YOU MAY FEEL AFTER AN INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

You should feel relaxed and soothed after your massage. Some may feel sleepy, while others may feel refreshed and energized. You may feel clearer-headed and more focused. You could feel emotional, irritable, or weepy, or feel like laughing. Most people report having a good night’s sleep. You may feel sore or achy in your muscles or joints. Rest and drink plenty of water.

MUSCLE TENSION RELEASE

When there is manipulation in your neck, shoulders, and scalp, it can cause a temporary increase in blood flow to your head, and this sudden change can trigger a headache in some people.

SOME SIDE EFFECTS AFTER TREATMENT

Muscle soreness and tiredness are common after deep tissue massage due to toxin release and the body’s healing process. Emotional changes may occur due to chakra rebalancing and a lack of physical touch.

BENEFITS OF AN ORGANIC FACIAL

Organic facials cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate all skin types, including sensitive skin. They offer antioxidants to help with sun- or wind-damaged skin and promote lymphatic drainage for a youthful appearance.

Gentler on your skin than regular facials, organic facials reduce discomfort and promote relaxation. They’re beneficial for all skin types. Chemical-free, they give you peace of mind while achieving beautiful skin. They provide a deep clean that refreshes and rejuvenates your skin. Organic facial ingredients often have antibacterial properties, helping to clear skin and reduce blemishes for a healthier complexion.

Organic facials all work together to make this a fantastic experience with lasting results. If you’re going to pamper yourself, it makes sense to opt for a facial that gives you several advantages with very few downsides.

DO’S AFTER YOUR ORGANIC FACIAL

Wash your pillowcase
Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated
Stay out of the sun
Skip active ingredients for 48 hours: active ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids and retinol, etc.

DON’T AFTER GETTING AN ORGANIC FACIAL

Take a hot shower or use a Sauna: You may wash your face the next morning, but try to avoid washing your face the same day after you get a facial. The best facials need to soak into your skin.
Getting a Face Wax
Touch your Face
Wear any makeup. Your skin has just undergone a deep-cleansing session. Give it space to breathe.

After an organic facial, avoid harsh activities, excessive heat, heavy makeup, and stressful environments to let your skin heal and get the most out of the treatment. Gently rinse your skin and rehydrate with a serum or moisturizer to remove oils and toxins and lock in moisture.
