What is Shirovasti Therapy?

Shirovasti is a major cranial procedure where a high leather cap is fixed over the shaved scalp and filled with warm medicated herbal oil for a set duration.

Why is Shirovasti Therapy Recommended?

Severe facial palsy, optic nerve atrophy, hemiplegia, chronic migraines, and intractable scalp diseases require deep cranial oil soaking.

Therapeutic Mode of Action

  • Profound Neuro-Nourishment: Lipid transdermal absorption directly nourishes brain matter and cranial nerves.
  • Calms Central Nervous System: Regulates brainwave frequencies and intracranial pressure.
  • Revitalizes Senses: Enhances optic, auditory, and olfactory nerve pathways.
