Shirhodara

Shirhodara

Shirhodara

Shirodhara is a classic Ayurvedic therapy, which includes pouring of warm  herbal oil on the forehead in a continuous stream. This technique is very  effective in promoting 

sound sleep & reducing stress. 

The term shirodhara  comes from the two words; “shira” meaning head and “dhara” meaning stream.  

How it works : Pouring warm oil stimulates & soothes the hypothalamus gland thereby  regulating the functions of the pituitary gland and inducing sleep.  It also stimulates Marma points, vital points in the head (similar to acupuncture meridians) & improves circulation.  The warm oils used also cause vasodilation of all the channels & thereby improve blood circulation of the brain. 

 

Other benefits include: Help treats sleep problems, memory loss, poor concentration,  chronic headaches, stress, depression, mental tension, hypertension, facial paralysis,  and degenerative conditions of the brain. The medicated oils absorbed through the  scalp stimulate hair follicles & therefore it is a vital therapy to treat hair problems such as premature greying or hair thinning. follicles and therefore it is a vital therapy to treat  hair problems such as premature greying or hair thinning.
