Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage (IHM) or champissage - champi from Hindi meaning head massage, has been practised in India for over a thousand years. IHM is based on the traditional Indian medicinal system Ayurveda, possibly one of the oldest medicinal systems in the world. Originally developed by women, who massage the scalp using different oils according to each season as part of their hair care routine; a more invigorating variation was developed by barbers who offer "champi" as part of their hair cutting service. IHM became a custom passed through generations; Indian infants from birth receive a daily IHM and as they grow they have a massage once or twice a week to maintain good health and as which is still practice to this days.
Indian head massage treatment includes back, shoulders, arms, neck and face. For this massage the client sits on a massage chair and is normally fully clothed ,however we advise you to remove your top to fully enjoy the benefits of this deeply relaxing massage and to allow skin absorption of the customised aromatherapy oils blend use on this treatment. The different massage techniques use during this treatment work over pressure points relieving tension and encouraging circulation.
