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.
