The Ayurvedic Way of Relaxation: Shirodhara


Shirodhara :An Ayurvedic Treatment to Relax your body

Shirodhara is an Ayurveda therapy that is preferred for inducing a deep state of relaxation. The word shirodhara is a combination of two Sanskrit words, ‘Shiro’ which means head and ‘Dhara’ which means flow. The process involves continuously pouring a thin stream of medicated oil over the forehead from a pot suspended at a specific height.


Caressing the forehead with the stream of oil is said to have a profound effect on the high concentration of nerves present there as the vibrations caused by the pressure of the oil help stimulate the nervous system. The therapy also stimulates the vital points in the head and improves blood circulation of the brain. 






Types of Shirodhara


Snehadhara – This kind of Shirodhara uses medicated herbal oils and ghee. Different oils are also mixed and used for specific therapeutic benefits and according to the dosha involved.

Ksheeradhara – Medicated milk or milk infused with herbs is used in this type of Shirodhara.

Takradhara – Herb infused takra or butter milk is used for the Shirodhara.

Owing to its impact on the nervous system, Shirodhara is highly preferred to relieve stress, anxiety, hypertension, fatigue and depression. The therapy is also said to strengthen the cognitive organs.
