Shirodhara
The most effective treatment for total mental relaxation.
A warm, steady, flowing stream of oil is carefully poured on your forehead for
30-40 minutes, giving you a sensation of deep peace. Many people experience
deep meditative states during Shirodhara. Shirodhara is excellent for nervous
system disorders.
Decreases stress
Promotes facial relaxation, and a youthful
appearance
Relieves headaches
Increases sound sleep and rest
Often brings on a blissful state of mind
Improves scalp and hair health
Deeply stress-relieving, Shirodhara pacifies, nourishes, and calms the nervous
system. Shirodhara cleanses the mind and senses of impressions, thereby
improving mental clarity and cognition.
A traditional treatment for insomnia, memory loss, hormonal imbalance,
headaches, mental tension (anxiety, worry, stress) and certain skin diseases,
Shirodhara has also been reported as effective for people seeking to balance
jet lag, exhaustion, emotional imbalance, hypertension, asthma, TMJ, ADHD,
and various disorders of the head, neck, eyes, ears, nose and nervous system.
Ayurvedic texts state that Shirodhara activates the hypothalamus and
pituitary glands, opens the 6th and 7th chakras, heightens the senses and
increases faith, intuition and overall spiritual awareness.
