Indian Head Massage
Prana Champissage
Champissage, as it is known in India, is an Ayurvedic massage that embraces the principles of balance, energy flow, and tension release. This seated form of massage involves a rhythmic flow of movements over the head, face, neck, upper back, and shoulders. Our experienced therapist employs firm, circular motions to restore the body’s natural balance and release long-held tensions.
Distinct from other massage forms where you may lie prone and drift into deep relaxation, Champissage keeps you seated upright. This position better facilitates the vigorous and firm movements essential to the massage, which actively stimulate and realign the body’s vital energy points, known as chakras. This unique approach ensures an active engagement with the healing process, invigorating both body and mind.
Key Benefits of Champissage:
1. Alleviation of Chronic Pain:
Forget the notion that chronic pain is a standard part of life. Champissage has been shown to effectively release muscle tension in the upper back, neck, and head, areas commonly afflicted with migraines and chronic headaches. One of our clients thought such discomfort was just a part of life until he experienced profound and unexpected relief during a head massage with Saroj. Champissage is capable of alleviating long-held and chronic muscle tension, transforming everyday wellness.
2. Healthier Scalp and Hair Growth:
Beyond the soothing strokes, this massage increases blood circulation to the scalp, enhancing the oxygenation and nourishment of hair follicles. This not only promotes healthier hair growth but also results in lusciously thick locks, as noted by many of our delighted clients.
3. Detoxification and Immunity Boost:
Champissage enhances your body’s natural detoxification processes by improving lymphatic drainage, particularly around the lymph glands of the neck. This increased circulation helps to efficiently remove waste products, excess water, bacteria, and toxins from your body, bolstering your immune system. Such enhanced lymphatic function is crucial in defending against infections, reducing fatigue, and preventing fluid retention. This makes Champissage particularly valuable for those who lead sedentary lifestyles or frequently experience colds, general fatigue, or low immunity.
4. Enhanced Sleep Quality:
Deep, restful sleep is crucial for health yet often elusive due to our modern, sedentary lifestyles. Many of us spend long hours tethered to computers and commuting, activities that diminish the quality of our rest. Champissage counters these effects by deeply relaxing the nervous system. This promotes the kind of profound sleep that rejuvenates the body and mind. Embracing this therapy can significantly improve your sleep quality, making it an essential part of maintaining optimal health in today’s fast-paced world.
5. Mental Clarity and Emotional Relief:
The improvement in blood flow to the brain elevates oxygen levels, which can brighten your mood, clarify your thoughts, and alleviate symptoms of anxiety. Regular sessions can transform your mental health, leaving you feeling more peaceful and balanced.

Saroj, as I sat comfortably with you I became lost in a dream… all the while knowing that you were performing a flowing sequence of movements across my upper back, shoulders, arms, neck, ears, face and finally my scalp. My waking mind registered all of this: a combination of stroking, friction (what you later told me were pressure point techniques). Saroj I confess that I am still to grasp the finer points of this treatment. But one thing I do know… my physical and emotional relief was something no words can adequately express.”
