Shirodhara

Shirodhara, a term derived from the Sanskrit words “shiro” meaning head and “dhara” meaning to flow, offers a simple yet effective way to instantly achieve calm and rejuvenation. This soothing practice involves the gentle flow of warm aromatic oils onto the forehead, specifically targeting the “third eye,” which is considered the seat of human consciousness. As the oils cascade over the scalp and through the hair, they create a pleasurable sensation.

 

The individualized and customized oil used in Shirodhara has a profound impact on the deepest recesses of the brain, bringing about a sense of balance. It also stimulates the pituitary and pineal glands of the endocrine system, while synchronizing alpha brain waves, enhancing blood circulation to the brain, improving mental clarity, releasing deeply trapped toxins, and facilitating somatic healing.

 

A complete Shirodhara session lasts for 90 minutes, during which you can experience the wonderful benefits it offers. This practice induces a profound sense of relaxation and inner peace. It works on the cerebral system, helping to relax the nervous system and balance the Prana Vayu around the head. It also improves the function of the five senses, aids in relieving insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, hair loss, fatigue, and Vata imbalance, ultimately leaving you feeling calm and refreshed.
