Indian Head massage-

What is it?

Indian Head Massage includes neck, shoulder and facial relaxation massage. Indian head massage also known as Champissage, is a form of therapy with roots in ancient Ayurvedic techniques. It primarily targets the head, neck, shoulders, and occasionally the upper arms. The use of oils is integral to the massage, so it's advisable not to have your hair styled beforehand or if you have plans immediately after. The treatment begins with the scalp and progresses to areas prone to tension build-up. This therapy helps alleviate stress and tension, improve circulation, and enhance blood flow, thereby promoting vitality. It can invigorate physical energy, reduce fatigue, and foster mental clarity and concentration. Due to its straightforward approach and proven benefits, Indian Head Massage has become a popular and widely adopted complementary therapy.
