What Is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage - also known as Champissage is based on the ancient
Indian Ayurvedic healing system. It has been practiced in India for over
a thousand years. 'Champi' is an original Indian word meaning head
massage and champissage is the modern Indian name for the Ayurvedic
method of head massage. Traditionally used by Indian women to keep their
hair thick and scalp healthy, stimulating the circulation to the scalp
and nourishing the hair roots. Originally, the technique only included
the head. Today, however, it includes massage of the shoulders, upper
arms, neck, face and ears.
