Ayurvedic Treatment

Shirodhara

Shirodhara is a classical Ayurvedic therapy in which a continuous stream of warm, medicated oil or other therapeutic liquids is gently poured over the forehead, specifically on the ‘third eye’ area (Ajna Chakra). It is one of the most effective treatments to relax the mind, relieve stress, and balance the nervous system.

Treatment Process:

  • The patient lies on a therapy table in a relaxed position. Warm herbal oil is poured in a rhythmic stream from a vessel above the head. The process lasts for about 30–45 minutes. Followed by a gentle head and shoulder massage for complete relaxation.

    Key Concepts of Shirodhara

  • Steady Flow on the Forehead (Ajna Chakra): A continuous, gentle stream of warm medicated oil or liquid is poured over the ‘third eye’ region. This area is linked with intuition, mental clarity, and hormonal balance. The rhythm and warmth induce a deep meditative state..
  • Tranquilization of the Nervous System: Shirodhara deeply calms the central nervous system. It reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting rest, digestion, and healing.
  • Balancing Doshas (Especially Vata & Pitta): Excess Vata (anxiety, restlessness) and Pitta (anger, burnout) are pacified. Supports emotional and mental equilibrium.
  • Use of Medicated Liquids for Targeted Healing: Different Dhara Dravyas (liquids) are chosen based on the condition: Taila Dhara (oil): for nervous disorders, insomnia Takra Dhara (buttermilk): for psoriasis, scalp conditions, Pitta imbalance Ksheera Dhara (milk): for calming and nourishment.
  • Stimulation of Marma Points: Gentle flow over the forehead and scalp stimulates vital energy points (Marma), enhancing Prana (life force) circulation.
