Shirodhara is an ancient practice in Ayurveda that goes back to 5000 years ago. Shirodhara is comprised of two words, 'Shiro' and 'Dhara' which means “head” and “sprinkling”. Shirodhara Massage Therapy involves gently pouring warm, herbal Ayurvedic oil onto the forehead in a continuous stream. Shirodhara has a deep impact on the nervous system of the body. The massage has an immediate effect of calming and relaxing your mind by providing a cleansing aura on the nerves. Especially, the warm oil massages are so beneficial in boosting the immune system and also very effective in promoting sound sleep and reducing stress.
If you are suffering from fear, nervousness, anger, irritation, worry or insecurities of any kind, Shirodhara nullifies the symptoms. This effective massage therapy is highly recommended for the treatment of memory loss, chronic headaches, stress, depression, mental tension, hypertension, poor concentration, facial Paralysis and Degenerative conditions of the brain. Shirodhara is a vital therapy to treat hair problems such as hair fall or premature greying of hair as the medicated oils absorbed through the scalp help to stimulate the hair follicles. It includes the treatment of liquids that help in countering the negative effects on the body. The liquid is applied to the scalp, forehead and the nervous system. It has beneficial effects when it is done in the morning or evening. The entire procedure leaves you with a sense of deep relaxation like you have had a deep meditating experience.
