Champi (Indian Head)
Head massage is a type of therapy that relaxes your body and mind by improving the flow of energy by massaging the head, neck and shoulders. This helps flush out stress-related hormones from the body and improves mood. A scalp massage is a head massage designed to relax the mind and encourage circulation. Many times, tension is felt within the head and neck, so scalp massages can be very effective as a stress reducer.
Warm oil is massaged throughout the scalp, working to relax tight muscles in the temple and neck regions. Head massages were accompaniments to oil-rich scalp treatments that conditioned the tresses and stimulated the hair follicles for healthy growth. But today’s massages are meant more for relieving tension.
