Shirodhara (Ayurvedic Head Oil Therapy)
Shirodhara is one of Ayurveda’s most powerful therapies for mental and emotional well-being. The word “Shiro” means head, and “Dhara” means flow — together, they describe the process of gently pouring a steady stream of warm, medicated oil on the forehead. This ancient practice is known to balance the mind, body, and soul, offering deep relaxation and tranquility.
The therapy stimulates the “Ajna Chakra” or third eye — a key point in Ayurveda linked to intuition, calmness, and emotional stability. As the warm oil flows rhythmically across the forehead, it soothes the nervous system, relaxes the senses, and helps release accumulated stress, tension, and anxiety.
