Indian Head Massage, or "Chamissage," is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment dating back over two thousand years. This practice provides a holistic healing effect that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit.
In Indian Head Massage, GEM focuses on stimulating the vital Marma points and Chakras across the upper body (head, neck, face, shoulders, and upper back).
Massaging these areas is key to releasing blockages in the three higher chakras found in the upper body: Vishuddha (governing the throat, neck, and jaw), Ajna (the Third Eye), and Sahasrara (the crown).
This essential work enables Prana (life force energy) to flow freely throughout the body, cultivating a heightened sense of awareness, communication, and spiritual realisation.
Indian Head Massage offers a comprehensive array of benefits, targeting both physical and mental well-being. It effectively alleviates common complaints such as headaches, general pain, and mental tension. The treatment promotes cognitive clarity, significantly reduces 'brain fog,' and aids in managing sleep disturbances like insomnia and restlessness.
Furthermore, it is beneficial for those experiencing eye strain, tension, and fatigue from prolonged screen use. Beyond these direct effects, the massage actively stimulates healthy hair growth by increasing oxygen and nutrient supply to the treated areas, resulting in stronger, shinier hair and relieves sinus congestion.
Ultimately, this therapeutic practice enhances emotional well-being and promotes energetic balance throughout the entire body.
A variety of techniques are applied to help reduce stress, migraines, headaches, sinusitis, tension, improve sleep, memory, blood flow and aid lymphatic drainage.
Traditionally, this treatment is applied in a massage chair but GEM offers a more comfortable option on the massage bed. Warm oils (coconut and almond) are used to nourish the hair and scalp but this massage can be applied without oil.
Narendra Mehta was the founder of Indian Head in Europe in the 1970s to help address Western tension and stress patterns in the upper body but its principles and benefits remain the same.
