Five Benefits of Scalp Massage

Stories and interesting tips on Thai Massage.

Why try scalp massage? Your scalp is full of nerves close to the surface of the skin. Massaging the scalp relaxes the nervous system by stimulating these nerve endings – and a light touch is sufficient.  In other words, you don’t need a full deep tissue massage to get the benefit.

Now let’s talk about some of the important benefits of scalp massage.

Anyone who’s ever had a hair stylist massage their scalp knows that it’s remarkably relaxing to have the nerves on the skin’s surface stimulated with gentle pressure. Research shows that scalp massage can lower blood pressure, reduce levels of stress hormones, and slow heart rate. That’s why scalp massage is an important part of the Zeel sleep massage.

Scalp Massage Promotes Hair Growth
