Shirodhara
Description
Shirodhara is a deeply soothing Ayurvedic therapy in which a steady stream of warm herbal oil is gently poured over the forehead (the “third-eye” area). This continuous flow of oil calms the mind, stabilizes the nervous system, and brings profound relaxation to the body and mind. This therapy is highly recommended for stress, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, burnout, and mental fatigue. Shirodhara helps balance Vata dosha, improves mental clarity, promotes deep sleep, and supports emotional wellbeing by harmonizing brain activity and calming the senses.
