Unlike Indian head massage which can be quite vigorous and stimulating, TAHM is a slow, deeply relaxing experience. It combines Western massage techniques with specific pressure points and movements unique to Tibet, while retaining the principles and theories of Ancient Tibetan Medicine. The principle aim with TAHM is to calm and stabilise the 'life sustaining wind' and to create harmony in the flow of energy throughout the body. This treatment brings an immense feeling of tranquillity and peace. Perfect for stilling an unquiet mind.
To receive this treatment you will remain fully clothed and relax on a couch or reclining chair. TAHM incorporates the upper arms, shoulders, neck, face and scalp. The use of oil is optional but it does have the advantage of intensely moisturising the scalp and hair, and aiding the release of tension. Oils that may be used can be either those such as Sesame, Olive or Coconut, or traditional herbal hair oils.
