History of Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage, or Champissage, is rooted in Ayurveda — India’s holistic system of health that looks at body, mind, and spirit as one. Over thousands of years, families passed techniques from generation to generation, and barbers refined lively routines that later inspired modern spa practices. Today, the approach blends tradition with gentle, evidence-informed methods to relax the nervous system and lift overall wellbeing.

≈1500 BCE

Ayurvedic Foundations

Classical texts describe warm herbal oils and rhythmic strokes to balance the body’s subtle energies (doshas). Focused attention on the scalp and temples was believed to settle the mind, improve sleep, and encourage healthy hair and skin.

Family Tradition

Champi at Home

In many households, a weekly head oiling was an act of care — sesame or coconut oils gently massaged into the scalp to soften tension, nourish roots, and create a moment of connection between loved ones.

18th–19th C

Barber Rituals & “Shampoo”

Barbers popularised invigorating scalp, neck, and shoulder work known as champi. The English word “shampoo” (to knead/press) arose from this tradition and reached Britain through cultural exchange and travel.

1970s

Modern Champissage

Teachers adapted traditional sequences for clinics and spas, adding seated shoulder and face techniques, and emphasising ergonomics, hygiene, and client comfort for contemporary wellness settings.

Today

Global Practice

Practitioners around the world use gentle pressure points, flowing strokes, and mindful pacing to ease stress, release head/neck tension, and support clearer, calmer moods — all while you remain comfortably clothed.
