Indian Head Massage

What is the history of Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage (also called Champissage) is a traditional form of massage that focuses on the head, face, neck, shoulders and upper arms. It has a rich and ancient history that blends traditional Indian healing practices with more modern adaptations.

Origins in Ayurveda (over 4,000 years ago)

  • Indian Head Massage is rooted in Ayurveda, the traditional system of Indian medicine. It was brought to the Western world by Narendra Mehta in the 1970s.
  • He felt that Western massage overlooked the head, face and upper body and he developed Champissage, a structured therapy that included the shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, face and ears.
  • He began teaching it in London, where it quickly became popular in both holistic health and beauty fields.

Benefits of Indian Head Massage

Can help with migraine and headaches

Relaxes and loosens the muscles of the head and neck, aiding mobility and reducing headaches associated with tight muscular tension around the neck.

Increases blood flow to the scalp to promote healthier hair and scalp

Massaging the scalp stimulates circulation which increases oxygen and nutrient delivery to hair roots. Healthy follicles are more likely to stay in the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair cycle and slow down hair loss. Indian head massage lowers cortisol and promotes relaxation, reducing stress-related shedding.

Lowers blood pressure and decreases stress

Gentle massage of the scalp, neck, and shoulders stimulates relaxation and shifts the body toward the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest mode). This reduces adrenaline and cortisol levels, helping blood vessels relax and lowering blood pressure.

Massage stimulates the release of "feel-good" hormones (endorphins, serotonin, dopamine).

This reduces stress and induces a sense of calm, both of which help lower blood pressure.
