​

Indian head massage, also known as ‘champissage’, as the name indicates, originated from India and is a beautifully traditional practice that is now immensely popular amongst Western cultures.  It is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition. 

​

It originates from an Indian alternative medicine system called Ayurveda, (translated as the ‘science of life’), whereby it is believed that the mind and body are intricately connected and thus can influence one another. Through this theory, is is understood that Indian head massage can not only reduce headaches and improve physical wellbeing, but it can also improve mental and emotional wellness too.

​

The main benefits of Indian Head Massage…

• Renews and balances energy levels by working with the three higher chakras 

• Relieves symptoms of depression and anxiety through relaxation 

• Boosts memory capabilities by relieving stress and quieting the mind  

• Stimulates lymphatic drainage by circulating blood to the neck area 

• Better sleep by reducing stress 

• Improves circulation of cerebral spinal fluid

What to expect...

A typical Indian head massage treatment, usually starts with the shoulders, working into this area especially as it often holds a lot of tension.  The upper back may also be massaged working around the shoulder blade.  Following this, flowing motions will move up the neck massaging and stretching to relieve any stress and tension.  Finally, the scalp is then massaged along the acupressure points on the head, followed up by the forehead and the area around the eyes.  This massage may be coupled with oils, which condition the hair and promotes growth and healthy skin.
