The art of Indian Head Massage, or Champissage, originated from Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. The treatment requires the person to be seated in a chair, wearing a loose top. This relaxation massage focuses on the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck and head. It helps to release stress and tension creating a sense of peace and well-being. It is a great treatment especially for those working on a computer all day, as it relieves tension headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness and eye-strain. The Indian Head Massage helps with blood circulation, stimulation of lymphatic circulation and increases oxygen in the tissues. There is also something to be said about the power of touch. The simple act of relaxing with someone’s healing hands on your head will disperse your stress straight away. The session brings about a great feeling of inner peace and a sense of calmness.
