Indian head massage is an alternative medicine massage. One form of this is Champissage (a trademark; possibly a portmanteau of chāmpi, the Hindi and Urdu term for the practice, and massage).{{Cite web |url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/search3advanced?dbname=caturvedi&query=champi&matchtype=exact&display=utf8 |title=Hindi dictionary search for chāmpi |website=Digital Dictionaries of South Asia |publisher=University of Chicago |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711-033141/http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/search3advanced?dbname=caturvedi&query=champi&matchtype=exact&display=utf8 |archive-date=2012-07-11 |url-status=dead |access-date=2023-02-08}} In Champissage, the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face are massaged.
