Indian Head Massage
The benefits:
Indian Head Massage is a pleasant and simple method of relieving stress. It is also beneficial for many conditions such as migraine, headaches, eyestrain, tinnitus, sinusitis, insomnia and stiffness in the jaw, neck and shoulders. It helps the circulation and may improve hair condition and growth. It is relaxing but can also leave you feeling energised, alert, clear-headed and with improved concentration.
What to expect:
No special equipment is needed. You sit in an upright chair, fully clothed, and the areas treated are the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp and face. A full treatment takes about 45 minutes, or 20 minutes for a gentler version. The massage can be tailored to the individual, taking into account any likes or dislikes and areas to be given particular attention.
After treatment:
You will probably be thirsty and may feel drowsy or light-headed. You may feel very calm, uplifted or tremendously energised. You could get a slight headache or experience mood swings for a short while, and the release of tension may make you feel very tired. It is advisable to be careful if driving or operating machinery, to avoid alcohol for the rest of the day and to get an early night.
To gain the full effects, and maintain improvement in physical symptoms, a weekly massage is recommended for the first month or so.
Bach Flower Remedies
The benefits:
A gentle way to balance the emotions and lift the spirits, the 38 Bach Flower Remedies in their many combinations can address every known emotional state. The flower essences are harmless and can be used in conjunction with other medication. This treatment can promote general good health and open the way to deeper self-knowledge. It is a good therapy to start the healing process if you don’t initially feel able to deal with the mental aspects of stress.
What to expect:
The consultation will focus on how you are feeling now. Remedies are selected accordingly and you can start taking them immediately. Along with your treatment bottle you will be given a full explanation of the remedies chosen and why, and a chance to have your questions answered. Dosage is 4 drops of the remedy 4 times daily (or more often if required) and one bottle should last about 3 weeks.
After treatment:
The remedies operate so subtly that you may not be aware of feeling different at first. Sometimes the emotion being treated intensifies briefly before fading away. As the current state becomes balanced, deeper emotions may rise to the surface causing unexpected mood changes.
Follow-up consultations are recommended at least every 3 weeks to review, repeat or change the remedies according to progress. One or two bottles may be sufficient but some people find it beneficial to continue treatment over a period of 6–9 months.
