What Is Indian Head Massage?
Indian head massage, or Champissage (champi is the Hindi word for head massage), is a massage that is based on the ancient healing system of Ayurveda.
​
It uses firm massage strokes to stimulate the nerves and loosen up tight muscles of the scalp.
​
The belief is that three of the major energy centers of the human body can be found in and around the head.
​
By stimulating these energy centres, Indian head massage helps to maintain the balance of energy within the body, and helps heal the body both physically and emotionally.
​
The treatment has been practiced in India for over a thousand years.
Originally it was almost exclusively concerned with massage of the head and hair follicles, to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and thereby nourishing hair roots.
​
Over time the practice evolved to incorporate massage of the face, scalp, neck, upper back, shoulders and upper arms.
Where We Found It - Lumbini
All I can remember of Lumbini In India was the thousands and thousands of prayer flags.
​
And the incredible sense of peace.
​
Some were faded, some fresh from the nearby stalls, and all were strung up from the tree under which Buddha was born.
​
The other thing I remember is my boyfriend blissed out after an Indian Head massage.
​
Why wasn’t I the one getting the massage?
​
Well, much to my dismay in India this is a tradition that men get to enjoy at the makeshift barber shops scattered along the pavements.
When I say “shop” I mean a mirror strung up on a fence and chair.
​
So my guinea pig boyfriend got lots of Indian Head massages in Lumbini, Varanasi, Delhi and Orccha whilst I watched and took lots of notes.
​
Back here in Oz, anyone can get one from Ripple. Deeply relaxing, it will give you a little piece of the peace I found in Lumbini.”Ali
