Shirodhara: $150/60min


What is Shirodhara?

Shirodhara treatment is a classic Ayurvedic therapy, which includes pouring of warm herbal oil on the forehead in a continuous stream. Ayurvedic Shirodhara therapy is very effective in reducing stress and promoting sound sleep. Shirodhara treatment is one among the Bahiparimarjana chikitsa, or external treatments told in Ayurveda. The term Shirodhara comes from two words “Shiro” meaning head and “Dhara” meaning stream.

How Does Shirodhara Treatment Work?

A continuous fine stream of warm oil is poured over the forehead for 10-20 minutes. The touch of the oil opens marma points(energy points) on the head that allows the body to sink into a deep state of total mind/body relaxation. This process is said to loosen the subtle energies that twist around the spine. This brings a fresh rested quality to the body and a calm clarity to the mind. Pouring of warm oils stimulates and soothes the hypothalamus, thereby regulating the functions of pituitary gland and inducing sleep. The warm oils used for Shirodhara also cause vasodilatation of all the channels and thereby improve the blood circulation to brain. Shirodhara also reduces the level of stress hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline and thus relaxes mind.
