We all love a great head or scalp massage. In fact, many people love to get a hair cut because the stylist massages the scalp during the shampoo. But Indian Head Massage is much, much more than just a head rub. Its roots are in the Indian massage tradition of Champi or Shiro Abhyanga. This form of massage first started with mothers massaging their daughters scalps to keep the hair healthy and shiny, and it is something that is still practiced today within families.

The Western version of Indian Head massage focuses on the mid back, shoulders, arms neck, scalp and face. This treatment can last up to an hour. It is done fully clothed, with the client seated in a chair. It is particuarly good for those who have chronic stress, upper body tension, headaches or tight jaw muscles. Because it stimulates the “marma points,” the points that help make life force energy flow throughout the body, an Indian Head Massage can be healing to the entire body and entire energy system.

What Indian Head Massage feels like is bliss. Receivers often find their head swaying or bobing with the gentle traction, kneading and compression of the massage. They report that they “went away” and that it was “happy,” “blissful,” or they found themselves “in a peaceful state.” When they are through with the massage, clients look like they are walking in air. This is all because of the combination of easy, gentle massage and the opening or stimulation of the marma points. That good energy feels great.
