Indian head massage, also known as Champissage, is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders. This is often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition.

We at Seek a Therapy want to help answer your questions and concerns surrounding the therapy in order to help you select the right practitioner for you. That is why, on this page, we have included some of the most common questions a person may have before speaking to an Indian Head Massage specialist.
What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian head massage is an ancient complementary therapy, based on the ayurvedic system of healing that has been practiced in India over for over a thousand years. This gentle form of massage therapy is part of Indian family life.
Part of the Hindu health care practice of Ayurveda, Indian head massage focuses on your head, neck and shoulders and was originally used to improve scalp and hair condition. It is a deep massage, using a variety of pressure and techniques, including circular massage strokes on your scalp, deep tissue work on your shoulders, and stretching the neck.
This form of massage focuses on the three higher “chakras”. A good Indian head massage will relax you and can also make you feel detached and serene. People often feel alert and clear-headed, alleviating brain fog and stress after an Indian head massage.
Even if you don’t experience this level of relaxation, this massage treatment offers all kinds of other benefits including, relieving stress, helping you sleep better, reducing depression and anxiety as well as helping with eye strain and more! Sometimes, therapists may use aromatherapy oils to enhance your therapy further.
