Shirodhara is a purifying and rejuvenating therapy designed to eliminate toxins and mental exhaustion as well as relieve stress and any ill effects. It is also helpful for patients after stroke. This therapy helps enhancing the functions of the central nervous system in whole. Shirodhara (Shiro-Head; Dhara- Flow) is a unique form of ancient therapy where pouring oil on the forehead from a specific height for a specific period continuously and rhythmically allowing the oil to run through the scalp and into the hair.

The concept of shirodhara is mainly concerned with the application of oil and other liquids (like milk or buttermilk) associated with specific clinical conditions. This treatment is considered to be divine as it gives a whole new experience and helps in relaxation and detoxifying the body. This procedure induces a relaxed state of awareness that results in a dynamic psycho-somatic balance. The center of the forehead, which is related to the third eye, is connected atavistically to the pineal gland. This third eye spot is also known as Agnya Chakra. As the liquid drips on the Agnya chakra, it is proposed that the meditation-like effect is a consequence of stillness of mind leading to adaptive response to the basal stress.

It deeply relaxes and revitalizes the central nervous system. Shirodhara gives best results when taken with Abhyanga Ayurvedic Massage. Shirodhara Therapy is good for all ailments.
