Shirodhara
Shirodhara is a therapeutic head massage, practised for thousands of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine and considered a genuine remedy against stress and mental tension, an ancient Ayurvedic purifying therapy for the head area, balancing the central nervous system and rejuvenating. As the procedure uses special cold-pressed oils in which herbs have been macerated for several days, the beneficial effects extend to scalp and hair health.
What kind of problems can be relieved using Shirodhara therapeutic head massage:
- Chronic fatigue
- Intellectual fatigue problems
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Anxiety disorders
- Insomnia
- Rhinitis
- Sinusitis
How does it work: Shirodhara translates as oil dripped on the head (“shiro” means head and “dhara” means the flow of the oil thread on the forehead). Basically, the therapy consists of pouring warm oil (in which various herbs with proven therapeutic properties have been macerated for several days) from a certain height onto the forehead in a continuous flow, helping to calm the central nervous system, induce relaxation and reduce stress, worry and mental tension. After the full amount of oil in the pot has been dripped onto the forehead, the therapist gently massages the scalp to harmonise and balance the body’s energies.
