Also known as Champissage is based on the ancient Indian Ayurvedic healing system. It has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. 'Champi' is an original Indian word meaning head massage and champissage is the modern Indian name for the Ayurvedic method of head massage. Traditionally used by Indian women to keep their hair thick and scalp healthy, stimulating the circulation to the scalp and nourishing the hair roots. Originally, the technique only included the head. Today, however, it includes massage of the shoulders, upper arms, neck, face and ears.
It relaxes the layer of muscle covering the head, improving blood flow, nourishing the scalp and alleviating stress and anxiety. Along with increased blood circulation, it also stimulates the movement of lymph, thus having a cleansing effect. Champissage is also used to treat eye strain, headaches, insomnia, lack of concentration and lethargy. Typically, Ayurvedic oils are massaged into the scalp; however, this procedure can also be done without any oils or creams.
