Shirodhara

Shirodhara

Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic treatment. Ayurveda translates to the ‘Science of Life’ and is one of the world’s oldest medical systems which originated in ancient India. Ayurveda follows a Mind, Body, Spirit approach and follows prevention rather than a cure to ill health.

Ayurveda, similar to Traditional Chinese Medicine follows the 5 Element Theory of Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth with disease being the end result when living out of harmony within ourselves.

Shirodhara falls under the umbrella of Panchakarma and is a detoxification treatment to remove ‘ama’ (certain toxins) from one’s constitution (dosha).

Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic treatment which helps to induce a profound state of relaxation through the application of warmed oil in a rhythemic flow over the forehead and specifically to certain points (marma points) on the forehead. It is a blissful and highly relaxing treatment.
