Ayurvedic oils are used in this massage too. The herbs and spices they&#8217;re infused with the aim to nourish your hair \u2013 it&#8217;s basically a dream conditioning treatment and relaxing massage all rolled into one.<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The rubdown is really thorough<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These massages follow ancient traditions, and the experience can verge on ceremonial. Ayurveda teaches that there are seven layers of tissue to get through. This means the mood-enlivening oils get properly rubbed in \u2013 your therapist will massage each muscle for 800 matras (at least five minutes, in plain language).<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>It&#8217;s great for post-work chill time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;re struggling to find time to hop on the massage table for a full hour, a 15 or 20 minute Indian head massage is the ideal compromise.
