Ayurveda Massage: Massaging the Scalp and Hair with Warm Oil

According to ayurevda, a healthy beautiful head of hair requires an ongoing care routine that starts with nourishment.


Massaging the Scalp and hair with warm oil, preferably infused with hair - friendly herbs, is the best way to nourish the scalp and hair topically. Not only does the massage work wonders for the hair, but it also relaxes the mind and nervous system.The oil for the massage can be customized by hair and body type. If the hair is thin, dry frizzy and prone to split ends, its known as Vata hair. If its fine hair prone to premature thinning or graying, they are Pitta-predominant.


Benefits; A warm oil massage, done at least one a week (if you have more Vata you could do it three times a week), it has the following benefits;


•     It lubricants and conditions the scalp, helping to prevent flakes and dry scalp without the use of harsh chemicals shampoos.

•     It helps enhance blood circulation in the head and neck area. When the scalp is "tight" from stress, circulation and hair growth are impeded.

•     It relax the scalp and increase pliability.

•     It strengthen  the roots of the hair and nourishes the hair-shafts, promoting new hair growth and strengthening current hair.

•     It helps soften and condition the hair, making it more manageable.

•     Spreads the natural oils of the hair, increasing hair luster and vibrancy.

•     It helps protect hair from the damaging effects of the sun and harsh weather by improving resiliency over time.

•     It is replenishing and rejuvenating for dry, damaged hair, and helps prevent excessive brittleness and split-ends.

•     It helps pacify Vata dosha. Especially when enriched with Vata-pacifying herbs, a warm oil hair and scalp massage can be wonderfully relaxing for the mind and nervous system.

•     When fortified with cooling, Pitta - pacifying herbs, the hair and scalp massage can help balance pitta dosha and help prevent pitta-related problems such as premature graying or thinning hair.

•     It also helps to reduce body heat in general, especially if one has been up late few nights or the eyes are smarting from too much close work on the computer or reading.

•     The Scalp Massage helps relax the muscles in the neck area & its also help to promote sound sleep at night.
