Indian Head Massage Training (IHM) has been practiced in India for thousands of years and was originally used as a technique to keep long, thick hair in healthy condition. At that time, it only involved massage of the head and hair. However, the modern Indian Head Massage includes unique techniques applied to the upper back, shoulders, neck, upper arms, face, head and scalp. IHM has been practiced in the UK, Europe and Canada at Aromatica since the 1990’s utilizing the best elements of head and body massage. This therapy is particularly beneficial to people who are desk bound and experience pain and tension in the upper body.

Champi
Champi – or head massage – has been practiced for over a thousand years in India as a tradition of family grooming.
This type of massage was originally practised in the home by women and other family members who used different oils to keep their hair strong, lustrous and in beautiful condition. The British word “shampoo” originated from the Hindi word Champi.
What is Champi?
This technique is favoured among Indian women who believe that regular head massage with natural vegetable oils keeps their long hair healthy and prevents it from turning grey. The idea is that the head, neck and shoulders are important energy centres within your body.
How Does It Work?
Indian head massage typically involves firm and gently rhythmic strokes to help unknot blockages and relieve tension.
