What is Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage is reputably one of the oldest healing methods working on both the physical and mental level, and giving a de-stressing programme for your whole body. It is suitable for men, women and children.

Treatment involves being seated comfortably in a chair, fully clothed apart from outer top garments which you replace with a towelling wrap in privacy for your comfort. You then have a choice of warm Aromatherapy Blended Oil or Traditional Indian Oil applied to your upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, face and scalp using a variety of massage techniques. This is then followed by a short massage to your lower arms and hands.

Brief History of Indian Head Massage:

Indian Head Massage, "Champissage" in India, has been practiced for over 1,000 years. Women developed techniques to keep their hair strong and lustrous by using different oils according to the season such as almond, coconut, henna, herbal oils, mustard oil, olive oil and sesame. Barbers in India began integrating head massage as part of their service, when it then became customary. Such treatments would differ from the massages performed by women since these were designed to invigorate the scalp and not as a beauty treatment. Skills have evolved over time and have been passed on through the generations to provide a treatment which has exceptional health benefits, both physically and emotionally.
