Indian Head Massage can be particularly effective in addressing the effects of stress. The proper name for it is Champissage and it is a traditional massage originating in India about 4000 years ago. It was part of family life for week-old babies to very aged members of the family, and still is. This is in addition to it being practiced by barbers and masseurs in India as part of their services.

Champissage

This technique was devised by Narendra Mehta, an experienced practitioner of Indian Head Massage. Mehta combined elements of head and body massage into an oil free combination of movements working on the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp and face. Apart from obvious contraindications such as spinal disorders, frailty and where the person has suffered head or neck injury, this can be enjoyed by anyone.

The first stage of a treatment is designed to encourage you to relax both physically and mentally. Research continues to prove the extraordinary effect of touch, and touch is the core of massage; research has repeatedly shown that the act of massage improves patients' morale and hastens their rate of recovery.

One advantage of massage is that it is as pleasant to give as it is to receive. It has also been proven that stroking a household pet has a relaxing effect and lowers the blood pressure; stroking people does the same.

Depending on the speed, pressure and depth of massage given it can be soothing or stimulating; it can leave you feeling alert or relaxed and sleepy. Relieving tension is the first step to relaxation which is something many people have very little time for, or do not know how to do. Most of all, it can aid recovery.
