A full colour, step by step guide to the techniques and secrets of Indian Head Massage.

Discover the secret of Indian head massage and feel fabulous.

Indian Head Massage introduces the art of Champissage and takes the reader through a clear, illustrated, step by step guide to the essential head massage techniques both for simple relaxation and for couples.

Indian Head Massage is a wonderfully relaxing therapy that involves massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face. The massage is safe, simple to learn and effective. It can provide relief from aches and pains and stress symptoms, promote hair growth, soothe, comfort and rebalance your skin and give you a sense of deep calmness and tranquility.

Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system. It has been practiced 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. Special oil, generally an Ayurvedic preparation containing five herbs, may be used to improve hair texture.

This book looks at the history of Indian Head Massage, introduces the power and importance of touch and takes you step by step through the basic methods of champissage. Each step is fully illustrated and there are clear instructions for different massage techniques for the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face – all of which you can practice on yourself, or with a partner.

Learn how a simple circular temple rub can release your tension headache, how to ‘iron down’ into a state of relaxation, and how to send a tingle down your lover’s spine with a sensual ear massage.

Review:
Head massage is a familiar part of life in India and Narendra Mehta, blind from infancy, grew up experiencing the benefits of this tradition. An osteopath and massage therapist, he developed a unique system of massage he calls "champissage" (from the Indian word "champi" meaning head massage) and has founded and runs the London Centre of Indian Champissage. In this attractive, hardback book Mehta introduces the reader to the method with easy-to-follow instructions accompanied by both photographs and diagrams. The anatomical drawings are also clear and user-friendly.

As well as covering the history and development of the art of Indian head massage, there are chapters on managing stress, massage techniques, partners and lovers, caring for the hair and self-massage, ensuring readers are equipped to make the most of their new skill.

The text is interspersed with quotations from articles about Mehta's work and philosophical quotes from famous people. These combine with the decorative details to give a book with a special luxurious feel, making it an ideal gift. Anyone presented with this beautiful book is bound to be delighted and inspired. Give it to your nearest and dearest and hope they practice on you! It is certain that there will be many grateful readers wishing to say a heartfelt thank you to Narendra Mehta for bringing this wonderful therapy to the West. --Dale Evans
