Peppermint Scalp Massage
A peppermint scalp massage is a therapeutic and refreshing treatment that combines the relaxation of massage with the invigorating benefits of peppermint essential oil. Here’s an overview for you:
What It Is
A massage focused on the scalp, neck, and sometimes shoulders.
Uses peppermint essential oil, often diluted with a carrier oil (like jojoba, almond, or coconut oil).
Can be done as a standalone treatment or added to a full massage session.
Benefits
Stimulates Circulation – Peppermint oil creates a cooling sensation and encourages blood flow to the scalp, which may support hair and follicle health.
Relieves Tension & Headaches – The massage relaxes tight scalp and neck muscles, while peppermint’s menthol can ease headache discomfort.
Reduces Stress – The cooling aroma calms the nervous system and provides a refreshing mental reset.
Supports Scalp Health – Peppermint has antimicrobial properties that can help with dryness, itchiness, or dandruff.
Boosts Energy & Focus – The crisp scent of peppermint can increase alertness and clear mental fog.
What to Expect in a Session
Light to medium pressure massage on the scalp with circular motions.
Application of peppermint-infused oil (may feel tingly or cool).
Focus on acupressure points to deepen relaxation.
Option to extend massage into temples, neck, and shoulders.
Note: Peppermint oil should always be diluted before applying to skin. Clients with sensitive skin or certain conditions (like migraines triggered by strong scents) should mention this before treatment.
