Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage (IHM) is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on treating the recipient by using specific massage techniques on the head, and on the areas surrounding it, such as the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, face and ears and completes with a grounding foot hold. As these align with the main energy centres within the body. Two Ayurvedic oil blends are used, one specially for muscles, ligaments & joint care. The second is specially formulated to nourish the scalp & hair, while calming the parasympathetic nervous system. These oils are included, but are also optional.

Gentle to deep massage techniques are used on these areas to stimulate the nerves, loosen up tight muscles, relax superficial tissues, and remove stress both emotionally and physically. This very relaxing treatment has a balancing effect on the recipient as stress and tension are released through the breath, creating a sense of well being & inner peace.

Indian Head Massage is a traditional form of natural therapy that has been practiced in India for many centuries.

Indian Head Massage is also known as Champissage. This Hindi word, defines as “having your head massaged.”
