Indian Head Massage  
Indian Head Massage (or champissage) is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system passed down from generation to generation within ancient India. It is a holistic therapy incorporating mind, body and spirit. The treatment has been practised in India for over a thousand years, originally to keep hair in beautiful condition by stimulating blood flow to the scalp, thus nourishing the hair roots.

A variety of herbs, spices and oils with known healing properties were used in the process which gave the added benefit of revlieving a number of common scalp conditions. Originally it was almost exclusively concerned with massage of the head and hair folicles, although over time it has developed to incorporate massage and manipulation of the face, scalp, neck, upper back, shoulders and upper arms as is seen in the modern embodiment of the therapy.

Indian Head massage was originally developed by women who practised the techniques within their family and friendship groups on those of all ages. As well as the physical and psychological benefits associated with the treatment it also gave the added bonus of improving bonds.

The popularity of champissage has continued to grow to the point that it is now widely available as a service throughout India and increasingly and around the globe. 

What is Indian Head Massage  
It is believed that three of the major energy centres of the human body can be found in and around the head. These are the brow, the crown and the throat. Acting on a physical, mental and subtle level, Indian head massage stimulates these important energy centres, so helping to maintain the important balance of energy within the body, which in turn promotes a sense of well being, positive energy and relaxation.

Indian head massage includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face and ears. It is a wonderfully relaxing therapy that is safe and very effective at relieving aches, pains, stress and rebalancing energy flow to provide deep sense of peace, calm and tranquillity. There is no need to undress to receive the treatment.

How an Indian Head Massage Benefits the Nervous SystemThe indian head massage generally soothes the nervous system, creating relaxed feelings of well being. The application of pressure to certain points stimulates all vasomotor nerves, pain perception nerves, underlying joints, muscles and internal organs. Its effects on the nervous system depend on the points stimulated, and the consequent reflex reaction of each nerve.

Other benefits of Indian Head massage to the nervous system include:
•A soothed and restored autonomic nervous system, resulting in reduced levels of depression and anxiety.
•Relaxation of tension in muscles that re-establishes good muscle condition via its effect on neuromuscular reflex pathways.
•An increase in the production of feel-good, pain-killing neurotransmitters such as endorphins.
•Reduced nerve entrapment and nerve root compression (caused by muscle tension)
•Reduced acute and chronic pain
