Indian Head Massage:
Indian Head Massage is an a method of therapy used throughout India since ancient ages. It was generally used between the female members of the household, as a way of promoting blood flow to the scalp and keeping their hair in a luscious condition. This therapy also known as "champi" or "champissage", was then adopted by barbers within the area as part of a haircare regime. The therapy also has ties within Ayervedic Medicine, an ancient Eastern system of healing, where massage amongst other therapies promote longevity. Over time the system was developed to incorporate the shoulders, neck face as well as scalp and hair.
The modern method now used was brought to the West from India by a Physiotherapist named Narendra Mehta in the 1970s and has increasingly gain popularity as a great method of treatment.
