This book is dedicated to my wife, Kundan Mehta, for her continuous love, support and encouragement.
I have been totally blind from the age of one. From my clients’ point of view, my blindness is no drawback. Once you’re seated in my chair, my fingers do all the seeing I require. I graduated in political science from Bombay University and have been practising bodywork for the last 25 years. I am qualified in body massage, reflexology, touch for health and oesteopathy. I now practise at two London clinics in addition to my own London Centre of Indian Champissage at the Eastern Health and Beauty Centre, 136 Holloway Rd, London, N7 8DD, telephone: 0171 609 3590, fax: 0171 607 4228.
I have described in this book a few simple and effective techniques for you to try out to see the efficacy of this wonderful therapy. I am sure you will be very happy with the result. The beauty of this therapy is that it can be used anywhere all you need is a comfortable chair, and a pair of warm, healing hands. I believe everyone has healing hands all you need is to follow the instructions carefully and allow the healing to flow. You will be pleasantly surprised by the result. Always start with light pressure, gradually increasing it as the recipient feels comfortable. Please do ask the recipient to let you know if and when your pressure is too heavy or too light, or if they are feeling uncomfortable in any way. Indian head massage is easy to give and a pleasure to receive. Have fun!
I feel proud to be able to bring this ancient therapy of Indian head massage to the West, and I feel sure that it will make a great contribution to the well-being of humankind. Today, at the London Centre of Indian Champissage, we provide treatments and educational training courses that help spread the therapy further afield. Since I have developed the techniques of Indian head massage to include subtle energy massage, and created the new therapy I call Champissage, its popularity has increased and more and more people are discovering that this therapy provides help for and relief from an ever-increasing range of symptoms.
I have already travelled through several European countries to teach Champissage, including Cyprus, Greece, Spain and Sweden and it has taken off in these countries with rapid success. In the near future, I plan to travel worldwide, especially to America and Canada, to promote this wonderful therapy further.
As a principle of the London Centre of Indian Champissage I am always interested to hear of any scientific research into the effects of this therapy on problems such as drug addiction, depression, insomnia, headaches and migraines, and stress, which are prevalent in our modern society.
Indian Champissage is the therapy of the future.

One treatment that is guaranteed to lift you out of the stresses of daily life and provide you with a real cure for those aching, tense neck and shoulder muscles is the ancient art of Indian head massage. Sounds different? It is. This book will teach you how to give superb massages to your partners, friends and work colleagues – and to yourself.
You are a very special person if you can boast immunity to the pressures of modern-day living. Those who fall prey to stress often complain that tension is stored in the shoulder, neck and head areas. Indian head massage is guaranteed to relieve these feelings. The technique has been practised in India for over a thousand years, originally by women who believed that massaging their heads with natural vegetable oils kept their long hair healthy and strong. They were right. Massaging the scalp stimulates the flow of blood to the follicles, improving the supply of nutrients needed for healthy hair growth. Nowadays the most common cause of poor blood flow is stress-generated muscle tension. By helping to dispel such tension, head massage not only improves the condition of your hair, but also provides an invaluable treatment for stress-linked problems like headaches and eyestrain.
