INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Indian head massage, also known as champissage, originates from a hair treatment incorporating massage used by Indian women to maintain the condition of their long dark hair and to protect it from the drying effects of the sun.

The upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, scalp and face are worked on during the treatment using a variety of massage movements. Many positive effects are achieved on the whole body and mind through physically working on the neck, shoulders and scalp.

Scalp massage relieves tension from the scalp and increases blood supply to the area, improving the condition of the hair and increasing the rate of hair growth.

WARM BAMBOO AND ROSEWOOD FACE MASSAGE

The use of bamboo is dated back to 5000 years ago in china. Bamboo is known for being flexible and strong. Bamboo was a symbol of peace, harmony, good luck and long life. It is said that the birth of bamboo massage came about when a therapist saw a monkey using a bamboo stick to rub another monkey's back and saw how relaxed the monkey was who was receiving the massage. The therapist started to use Bamboo sticks in her treatments after being inspired by what she had seen.

This face massage uses warmed bamboo sticks

of different lengths and widths and the rosewood

roller, to roll, knead and relax muscles with deep

tissue techniques. By using gravity assisted

leverage this allows the bamboo sticks and

rosewood roller to glide over the natural contours

of the face.

Massaging with bamboo stimulates the circulation, nerve function and is deeply relaxing. The heat, stimulation and kneading releases toxins in the facial tissue and helps to release any facial tension that produces lines in the face. Lymphatic drainage is assisted and as a result, the circulation is more efficient and the skin looks healthier and clearer. The warmth from the bamboo and rosewood roller has a deeply relaxing effect. Using bamboo allows for a more effective treatment in less time.
