‘Shiro’ means head and ‘Dhara’ means flow. Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic therapy that involves the gentle pouring of medicinal oil, milk, or buttermilk over the forehead to stimulate the pituitary gland. This subtle yet deeply calming treatment begins with a warm herbal oil massage and finishes with the Shirodhara to create a profound state of peace in the body and mind.
Benefits of Shirodhara
Shirodhara has been used to treat a variety of conditions including eye diseases, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, greying of hair, neurological disorders, memory loss, insomnia, hearing impairment, tinnitus, vertigo, Ménière’s disease, and certain types of skin diseases like psoriasis. Spas also use it for its relaxing properties in non-medicinal treatments. It is also effective in treating mental conditions such as anxiety, and mental stress. The calming effect produced by it is similar to that obtained with meditation.
This therapy works on the cerebral system to improve the senses and relax the nervous system. It relieves stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, while also improving sleep patterns and memory. It relaxes the hypothalamus in the brain and helps normalize the hormones that regulate sleep and emotions.
