The Benefits of Scalp Massage
I've been writing about the benefits of scalp and body massage for a very long time. When performed on a regular basis scalp massage offers a whole list of benefits which are included in this article.
Maybe I'm so invested in the topic because I've been involved with the study of massage since I was a teen back in St Louis.
As part of my early workaholic years I worked as a type of nursing assistant during my junior and senior years of high school for a well-known hospital.
As part of my training I went to massage school and was taught to specifically deal with terminal patients. I also learned that providing massage provided soothing for ailments and other wonderful benefits.
Benefits Of Scalp Massage
I believe everyone should have a scalp massage on a regular basis, whether they do it at home to their own scalp, have their favorite massage therapist do it, or ask a loved one who is willing, to massage their scalp.
Like full body massage, scalp massage can definitely can be a wonderful bonding experience between a couple.
Listed below are my own opinions of the benefits of scalp massage:
A proper scalp massage helps provide a glow to the complexion of the face.
Scalp massage as well as body massage can also help to regulate the thyroid and can help to balance body temperatures.
It can help your eyes to relax, help to minimize eye strain, and can be a general tonic for hypersensitivity or excessive nervousness. In some cases it may help to soothe ADD behaviors.
Scalp massage, can also help awaken creativity centers in your brain for more enlightened idea processing or long term meditation.
It can be combined with deep breathing for even deeper results.
When the base scalp massage oils are blended with essential or aromatherapy oils, emotional, spiritual or mental blocks can also be relieved, with ongoing treatments. Harmony can be restored.
In some cases, regular massage with appropriate essential oils can help to slow the onset of white or gray strands.
Regular scalp massage has proven to help in some cases of headaches or migraines.

Listed below are my own opinions of the benefits of scalp massage:
- It provides deep relaxation to the head and scalp which allows circulation to flow more easily to the hair roots.
- Improved circulation, which results from scalp massage, provides hair roots with nourishment to help activate hair growth. Why? When the scalp or head is constricted or tight due to stress and tension, it blocks adequate flow to the hair roots.
- When scalp massage is repeated on a regular basis, it will help to actually strengthen the roots of the hair which will help hair growth.
- When a good moisturizing oil like jojoba or similar is used as the base, it can help add moisture and conditioning to the scalp and the hair enhancing natural textures and make it move vibrant.
- Moisturized hair is less likely to split and break, which is a wonderful benefit of the oils used for scalp massage.
- Scalp massage adds natural luster and shine to the hair.
- In some cases, scalp massage can relieve itchy scalps, prevent flaking and help with severe dandruff. Of course this is dependent on other factors but is a possible benefit.
- Regular scalp massage can help protect hair from environmental toxins and other weather conditions by helping to strengthen the follicles.
- For some people a scalp massage may eliminate sadness or other stressful or negative emotions.
- Scalp massage may help alleviate insomnia and provide restful sleep.
- In some cases, scalp massage can slow hair loss conditions.
- It also helps to spread the natural scalp oils to the ends of the hair without the harmful effects of daily brushing. Sebum, if produced in sufficient amounts, is typically distributed along the length of the hair shaft through normal combing and brushing but can be distributed through fingers at the time of the scalp massage.
