Vietnamese and Indonesian people have both similarities and differences in their health beliefs and practices. For the similarity, that is the use of herbal and traditional medicines to treat the ill. In these both countries, traditional treatments, and herbs are considered to be safe, effective and affordable. For the differences, Vietnamese people consider the imbalance of yin and yang as the cause of sicknesses while Indonesian people believe that illnesses are caused either naturally or personally. That is the reason why folk medicine Vietnamese practice try to restore the yin/yang balance whereas Indonesian ones pay attention to restoring normal, proper and comfortable condition.

HEAD MASSAGE
A relaxing head massage is something that anyone would appreciate however it would not work if performed effectively. A human touch head massage is done with gentle movements and light pressure with fingertips and this massage therapy stimulates the nerves within your scalp. A head massage relaxes your mind and body by improving the flow of energy within your nerves and it would improve your mood instantly by releasing stress related hormones from your body. In this page we will be discussing various benefits of different types of head massage performed along with products used for a head massage.
Advantages of a Head Massage:

It improves circulation within your head and encourages flow of blood to other parts of a human body.
