Supervised by Senior Board-Certified Vaidyas

What is Shirodhara?

Shirodhara is a signature Ayurvedic procedure where a continuous, steady, rhythmic stream of warm medicated oil (or liquid) is poured over the forehead (third eye area).

Why is Shirodhara Recommended?

Modern mental stress, anxiety, hypertension, and insomnia overstimulate the sympathetic nervous system. Shirodhara induces alpha brainwave states for profound healing.

Therapeutic Mode of Action

  • Continuous pressure wave over Ajna Chakra regulates neuro-endocrine functions.
  • Warm oil stream calms cranial nerves and regulates melatonin/serotonin balance.
  • Reduces cortisol levels and lowers elevated blood pressure.

Clinical Indications

Chronic Insomnia & Disturbed Sleep Patterns
High Stress, Anxiety, Depression & Burnout
Migraines, Tension Headaches & Memory Weakness
