Indian head massage, or Champissage (champi is an original Indian word meaning head massage) is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system. It has been practised in India for over a thousand years, originally by women who used the technique to keep their hair thick, healthy and in beautiful condition. The massage stimulates the circulation of the scalp which nourishes the hair roots. A special oil, generally an Ayurvedic preparation containing five herbs, may be used to improve the texture of the hair.
