Shirodhara
Shirodhara
A soothing mind bath to wash away impurities of the mind.
Service Description
Shirodhara, derived from Sanskrit meaning "head flow," is an ancient healing technique revered for its profound benefits. During this ritual, a steady stream of warm, medicated oil (which can vary from takra, milk, or tulsi tea depending on the season) is delicately poured over the forehead for a duration of 20 to 25 minutes. This practice induces a profound sense of relaxation, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit alike. Its therapeutic effects are manifold: • Alleviates the burdens of stress • Diminishes feelings of anxiety • Heightens intuition, fostering a connection to the third eye • Enhances the quality of sleep • Balances the doshas, restoring equilibrium • Relieves strain from tired eyes • Boosts cognitive function • Encourages lymphatic circulation Your session will commence with a soothing head and face massage, using warm oil to guide you into a state of serene tranquility. Following this, the rhythmic flow of warm, medicated oil will grace your forehead and scalp. To fully absorb the benefits of the treatment, a period of silent rest for 5 to 10 minutes will conclude your session, allowing for integration of the healing energies. ________________________________________ After treatment care: • Plan a quiet day/evening following your treatment. • You are advised to take a shower within 8 hours of treatment to wash away the oil and residue from the treatment. • Stay hydrated. • You may experience vivid dreams days and weeks following your treatment.
