For over 5,000 years, Indian women have appreciated the benefits of Indian Head Massage, a treatment which has come from the Ayurveda, an ancient method involving natural therapies.  The Hindi word for head massage is "Champi" and aspects of the treatment have a long tradition in Indian families.  Mothers would stroke their daughter's hair to promote its growth and health.

Indian Head Massage started to appear in the 1970's and developed in popularity during the 1990's.

Indian Head Massage is a massage therapy that works specifically on the area surrounding the head, scalp, face, neck shoulders and upper back.

It is suitable for most adults, however there are certain conditions where you should avoid having this therapy.  All treatments include a consultation, which enables the Therapist to make sure that Indian Head Massage is suitable for you.  In some instances you may be required to consult your Doctor to ask permission to have this kind of therapy.

You will be asked to sit on a chair as the Therapist will work on the head, face , neck, upper back and shoulders.

Oils are optional in Indian Head Massage.  If the treatment is performed without oils you can remain fully clothed and a t-shirt would be recommended.  If oil is preferred, the upper clothing can be removed and a towel wrap can be used for modesty.

A session should take 45 mins which includes a facial.

To gain maximum benefit from Indian Head Massage, try to rest afterwards as this helps your body's natural healing process.  Avoid tea, coffee, alcohol if possible as caffeine can have a stimulating effect.  Drink plenty of water or herbal tea over the next few days as this will help to flush away any toxins.
