Shirodhara

Shirodhara (20 minutes)

Shirodhara is an ancient ayurvedic technique that has a profoundly calming effect on the body and mind. The name, shirodhara, is composed of shiro translated as head and dhara meaning flow. Shirodhara, then, consists of a stream of warm oil poured slowly and steadily over the forehead. This treatment greatly reduces stress and restlessness. As we begin to experience a feeling of deep relaxation, the metabolic rate drops and the brain waves slow down and become more coherent, bringing the nervous system into a deep state of tranquility. Joyful feelings emerge as old stresses, traumas and tensions are released. Not only can we experience an expanded awareness of events that are taking place in our life, but can also find relief from many disorders such as insomnia, anxiety and fatigue. Shirodhara is frequently recommended in conjunction with a massage session.
