Shirodhara

Treat yourself to one of the most traditional Ayurvedic experiences. Shirodhara consists of the application of warm medicated oil on the forehead between the eyebrows (sixth chakra). The oil is poured in a gentle and continuous manner, which is very relaxing. 

“Dhara” means pouring and “shiro” means head. Shirodhara means “pouring over the head”.

Shirodhara has traditionally been shown to help with fatigue, mental exhaustion, anxiety, insomnia, some mental disorders, headache, overthinking, nervousness and many other conditions that commonly affect people in today’s active lifestyle.

Regular shirodhara improves blood circulation to the brain, improves memory, nourishes the hair and scalp, helps provide deep sleep and calms the body and mind. It is one of the most effective treatments for reducing stress and nervous tension.

Approximate duration: 40 minutes*.

*It is advisable to combine Shirodhara with a head massage.
