What is an Indian Head Massage?

An Indian Head Massage sounds odd doesn't it?  Well an IHM is basically a Scalp, face and upper back (shoulder) massage which originates from Indian.  This massage has been practiced in India for over a thousand years.  Benefits of IHM include:-

• Wonderfully relaxing and calming
• No need to undress (although it is more effective if your top is removed so I can use massage oil)
• Acupressure techniques that leave you feeling calm yet energized
• Only 45 minutes so ideal if you're short of time
• Reduces stress and neck/shoulder tension
• Help alleviate headaches and migraines
• Helps to relieve eye strain
• Improves blood and lymph circulation in the upper body, aiding removal of toxins
• Encourages hair growth and improves skin and hair condition
• Can improve concentration
• Helps treat sinus problems
• Helps alleviate insomnia

Can even be used on site in your office.

How to make your dreams come true

Hematite

We currently have some beautiful hematite jewelry for sale (see link here) and I wanted to learn a little more about the properties of this reflective gemstone. 

The word hematite is derived from the Greek word meaning "blood." While hematite is a silver metallic color, when ground up hematite becomes a blood red colour.  Native American folklore states that when used as war paint in battle the person becomes invincible.

Hematite is a grounding stone and is said to provide the wearer with internal strength.  Hematite helps with timidity by boosting self-esteem, enhancing willpower and imparting confidence.  It also helps to overcome compulsions and addictions. 

Physically, hematite may stimulate the absorption of iron and helps with circulation.  With its quietening and calming effect, it is an ideal study aid as it assists concentration.

Some people may be sensitive to hematite and has been known to give some a slight inflammation when worn against the skin. Make sure you do a test on your skin before wearing it.   Hematite should not be used where inflammation is present for long periods of time.
