Indian Head Massage for Relaxation and Holistic Wellbeing

Indian head massage is an ancient Ayurvedic practice focusing on the head, neck and shoulders. This gentle therapy relieves stress, eases muscle tension and restores emotional balance.

At Sweet Pea Holistic Healing in Looe, Cornwall, our Indian head massage treatments are customised to your needs. Whether you seek relief from tension, enhanced mental clarity or a nurturing self-care ritual, this therapy offers deep relaxation and rejuvenation.


What Is Indian Head Massage?

Also known as Champissage, Indian head massage has been practised for over a thousand years in India. Originally a family tradition, it has become a popular complementary therapy in the West.

The treatment uses gentle strokes, acupressure points and circular movements across the scalp, neck, shoulders and upper arms. Performed with or without nourishing oils, it promotes circulation, eases tension and encourages deep calm.

Focusing on areas where stress gathers helps clear energy blockages, leaving you feeling balanced, refreshed and revitalised.


Benefits of Indian Head Massage

Beyond simple relaxation, Indian head massage offers multiple benefits:

  • Tension relief – Targets pressure points to alleviate headaches and muscle stiffness.
  • Stress reduction – Lowers cortisol levels and fosters a sense of peace.
  • Improved circulation – Boosts blood flow to nourish tissues and support healing.
  • Better sleep – Encourages deeper, more restful rest patterns.
  • Hair health – Stimulates the scalp to support healthy hair growth.
  • Mental clarity – Clears brain fog and enhances focus.

Each session at Sweet Pea is tailored to your concerns, ensuring a truly restorative experience.
