Shiroabhyanga – Indian Head Massage

Indian head massage is commonly known as Shiroabhyanga.

Shiroabhyanga is also known as Champi. It is derived from the word shampoo.

It is one of the non-invasive therapies and yet it works on the main energy centers – the crown, the throat and third eye, which act on mental, physical and subtle levels.

Major Energy Centres Around the Head
Traditionally, in India this massage is done in a sitting position.

The receiver is in a sitting position because all the major areas in the neck, shoulder and head can then be worked deeply. And, it also brings better blood supply to the head.

Physically, the head massage lubricates the sense organs, improves lymphatic circulation and improves sleep. And psychologically: it calms the mind, relieves tension and emotionally allows you to connect more with your heart.

Shiroabhyanga is a wonderful treatment during pregnancy. Quite Interestingly: for all the nine months.

In ancient India, it was a family ritual to give head massage, where mother would give to her daughter and daughter to another family member.

Every family has their unique style of giving this beautiful relaxing head massage and it has been passed down from generations.

I hope you enjoy giving it to your friends and family.
