What are the benefits of getting a head massage?

As the pace of life becomes faster and faster and the pressure becomes greater, many people suffer from insomnia, nightmares and dizziness. When we have a headache, we will involuntarily massage our scalp to speed up blood circulation and relieve pain. In fact, if we massage our scalp more often, we can reduce the occurrence of some diseases and it is good for all aspects of the body. Below I will introduce the benefits of head massage.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the head is the meeting point of all yang" and persistent head massage can make the Ren and Du meridians and qi and blood meridians unobstructed, which has the effect of clearing the brain, refreshing the mind, and strengthening the body. Head massage can activate blood circulation in the brain, increase blood supply to the brain, and promote excitement of the nervous system, thereby playing a role in brain health. The shower head massage targets the entire head.

If we can compare our hair to a grassland with lush grass and fertile soil. The scalp is the key to whether your hair is beautiful or not. Generally speaking, the scalp area of ​​a healthy adult is about 650-700 square centimeters. Compared with the skin on other parts of the body, the scalp epidermis keratinizes and renews faster, about twice as fast as other skin, and most of the stratum corneum is thick and dense. The scalp is exposed to the natural environment and is affected by many factors, including sunlight, atmosphere, rain, heating from hair dryers, friction from combs, etc.

Massaging the scalp can stimulate the capillaries on the scalp, causing them to expand and thicken, increasing blood circulation and supplying more nutrients and oxygen to the brain tissue. When the brain is adequately nourished, you will have more energy. Improved blood circulation in the scalp is also beneficial to the growth and development of hair, preventing hair loss and graying. Regular scalp massage can prolong life for the elderly.

The above are the benefits of head massage. As we all know, there are many acupoints on the scalp. We massage these acupoints with our hands. Although it is not as strong as acupuncture, the massage area is larger and the movements are gentle. It can also promote blood circulation, stimulate the capillaries on the scalp, and reduce the troubles of hair loss. Massage before going to bed can also help you sleep deeply.
