Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage, is an ancient art based on a traditional system of medicine known as Ayurveda, which has been practiced in India for over three thousand years and is becoming increasingly popular in the West. The word Ayurveda comes from Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, and means "knowledge of life". This form of massage addresses those areas where we tend to hold a great deal of tension.
You can expect to be comfortably seated in chair in a relaxing atmosphere while the Indian Head Massage practitioner massages your scalp, face, shoulders, upper back and upper arms. A treatment usually lasts thirty minutes.
