Massage has always played an important role in the everyday life of Indian people. From birth to adulthood, family members share the tradition of massaging each other which lends itself to bonding and caring.

Indian Head Massage is performed in the Indian barbers shop. Pungent oils are used on the hair such as mustard and sesame seed and those specifically designed to promote hair growth. Have you ever wondered why Indian women have such healthy looking hair?
