Indian Head Massage is an ancient technique that energises the mind, relaxes the nervous system and allows any tension to slip away. It is beneficial for tension headaches, eye strain and improving lymphatic and circulatory function.
Indian head massage or as it is known in India ‘Champissage’ is based on the ancient healing system called Ayurveda. Ayurveda is the 5000 years old Indian health care system, widely practiced, in time with the times. "Ayur" in Sanskrit means "life", "Veda" means "science". It is a perfect Science of health and longevity. This holistic science is the knowledge of complete balance of the Body, Mind and Spirit, including the emotions on all levels. Indian Head Massage was brought to the West by Narendra Mehta, who, when moved to live in England, missed his regular massage treatments and so began teaching his form of Indian Head Massage. He refined the techniques and routines into a standardized form and began teaching in London. His work has quickly spread worldwide. This massage is invigorating, revitalizing and uplifting working on the upper back, shoulders, scalp and face. These areas are massaged with a firm and gentle rhythmic fashion involving Marma points (acupressure points). Traditionally Ayurvedic oils are massaged into the scalp for their many therapeutic properties. The use of oils is optional. This massage has many benefits and is used to relieve eyestrain, insomnia, migraines/headaches and stiff shoulders and necks. It also relaxes and tones the facial muscles and stimulates and nourishes the hair and scalp. For complex conditions, a course of treatments may be advised, but once you discover the benefits of Indian Head Massage, you may decide to have this massage on a regular basis.
Regular Indian Head Massage can result in numerous health benefits being felt by the client.
