Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage, is an ancient art based on a traditional system of medicine known as Ayurveda, which has been practiced in India for over three thousand years and is becoming increasingly popular in the West. The word Ayurveda comes from Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, and means "knowledge of life". This form of massage addresses those areas where we tend to hold a great deal of tension.
By working over the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and releasing pressure points on the face, Indian Head Massage provides you with the ultimate relaxing experience.
In addition to these physical benefits, Indian Head Massage works on a mental and psychological level. By stimulating the release of endorphins to the brain, Indian Head Massage can release anxiety, help relieve mental tiredness and depression and can improve concentration and alertness. Overall, this style of massage will install a sense of balance, well-being and tranquillity.
What to expect during an Indian Head Massage Treatment
You can expect to be comfortably seated in chair in a relaxing atmosphere while the Indian Head Massage practitioner massages your scalp, face, shoulders, upper back and upper arms. A treatment usually lasts 40 minutes.
