Shirodhara
Shirodhara
Shirodhara, an ancient Ayurvedic therapy practiced for over 5000 years, involves the gentle and continuous flow of warm, herbalized oils onto the forehead, targeting the third eye chakra – a vital point for human consciousness. This time-honored treatment induces a tranquil state, cocooning the body in warmed towels, providing a blissful experience. The philosophy of Ayurveda views diseases as imbalances in energy within the body. Shirodhara, a rejuvenation therapy, seeks to cleanse the body and restore the balance of life energy, promoting healing for an agitated nervous system.
