Champissage (Champi is an original Indian word meaning head massage) is a traditional Indian system to relieve stress, illness and to promote better health. It is a wonderfully relaxing therapy, without need to undress or use oils. It can provide relief from aches, pains, stress symptoms, insomnia, promote hair growth, soothe, comfort and re balance your energy flow. Massage has always been an important part of Indian life, and this method is the brainchild of Narendra Mehta. It is based on the traditional form of Champi practiced in India for over a thousand years. This is a beautiful tradition and uses many age old techniques to stimulate and relax where tension and stresses are held.

The head, neck and shoulders are important energy centres within your body. If you are feeling stressed or angry, tension tends to accumulate. This tension can later show up as a stiff neck and shoulders, eye strain and sometimes even hair loss. Indian head massage involves working with a firm gentle rhythm to help un-knot blockages and relieve this uncomfortable build up of tension. However, its effect is not just physical. It works on an emotional level too, calming the spirit, promoting relaxation and relieving stress.

REIKI

The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this 'life force energy' has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.


A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you and surrounds you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, balance, security and well-being.

Marianne's Aromatherapy Blends that can be made at home:

COLD REMEDY

Better than My Mom's Remedy when you have a cold!
Rosemary -  80 drops ( or 4 mL)
Eucalyptus Radiata- 40 drops ( or 2mL)
Eucalyptus Globulus -  40 drops (or 2mL)
Peppermint - 20 drops (or 1mL)
Cedarwood - 5 drops
Nutmeg - 5 drops
Thyme Linalol -  5 drops
Pine Needle -  5 drops
 
Blend all in an amber bottle. Mix well then use in any diffuser or a personal nasal inhaler.  This blend can also be mixed with a lotion or carrier oil and applied to the skin.   Mix no more than 36 drops per 2 ounces of carrier oil (Your choice of carrier oil - suggestions would be fractionated coconut oil or jojoba.)  The 36 drops in 2 ounces of carrier is about a 3% dilution.  If you will be using it on children between 5-12 years dilute it to about 20 drops per 2 ounces of carrier oil.  Apply just a few drops of the carrier oil/essential oil mix to the chest. You won't need to use a ton - like you do of a sticky ointment!
 
Caution: Due to the Eucalyptus and Peppermint in this blend do not use as a massage oil on children or infants under 2 - especially on their chest.  Eucalyptus and Peppermint cooling vapors can cause young children to have a spasm occur that may block their airway.   Also if used in young child's room - only diffuse a small amount - do not saturate the air. 
Remember more is not better when it comes to the use of essential oils.
