	Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage
		Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage - TAHM, is a gentle ancient therapy based on the wisdom of Tibetan Ayurveda which was originally developed by the Bon (Bu'un) and Buddhist religions. Using acupressure points different to those used in the Chinese and Japanese systems, it works to individually balance the three humors or constitutions - wind, bile and phlegm (or activity, stability and vitality). This treatment is extremely meditative and useful for those who find it difficult to switch off, or suffering from sleeping disorders or mental anxiety. It creates a deep sense of tranquillity and peace. The Medicine Buddha, illustrated left, represents important principles of Tibetan Buddhist Medicine. In his left-hand he holds a begging bowl filled with the nectar of long life as a sign he gives protection against illness. His right arm is stretched out in the gesture of giving and he holds a twig of the Myrobalan plant. In Tibetan medicine, this is the only plant that has a positive effect on all three humors.
	What are the benefits of TAHM? Deeply relaxing to receive Increases circulation to the scalp encouraging healthy hair growth Relaxation increases endorphin production which lifts your mood and alleviates depression Alleviates the effects of stress and produces a sense of well-being Promotes more restful sleep and helps alleviate sleeping disorders Relieves minor headaches Relaxes facial and eye muscles helping to reduce and prevent eyestrain Promotes feeling of inner peace and calm The aims of TAHM In traditional Tibetan medicine, massage was prescribed mainly as a treatment for excess 'wind' disorders, which include stress, anxiety, restlessness, dizziness, unbalanced emotions, depression, muscle cramps and stiffness, backache and insomnia. The aim of TAHM is to sedate and smooth out the 'wind' humor, where it is hyperactive and causing imbalance. The massage strokes traditionally used in Tibetan massage are: Stroking - lengthwise strokes to smooth the wind Circular motion - to charge the body with healing energy Kneading - to release muscular tension Acupressure - to balance the energies of the body What happens during a Tibetan Acupressure Head Massage? During treatment the recipient is fully clothed and lying on a treatment couch. The therapy involves gentle stroking and kneading techniques over the scalp, face, neck, throat, shoulders and upper arms, using smooth and slow activity to release muscular tension. Slow rhythmic circular movements over the head, face, throat and heart areas charge the body with healing energy. In additon, the treatment of selected acupressure points balance the energies of the body to positively change its energy system. This is a totally different experience to Indian Head Massage, and is particulary suited to those suffering from sleep disorders, mental stress and tension.
