This ayurvedic therapy is a deeply relaxing and therapeutic treatment that involves gently pouring a continuous stream of warm oil infused with medicinal herbs onto the forehead, specifically targeting the "third eye" area.
The word "shirodhara" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "shiro," meaning head, and "dhara," meaning flow.

Shirodhara is believed to have numerous therapeutic benefits, including reducing stress as the rhythmic flow of warm oil over the forehead has a calming effect on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. The treatment can help alleviate sleep disturbances and insomnia, leading to better sleep quality, mental clarity and focus as it balances the energy centres in the head, improves blood circulation which will help allieviate tension headaches and migraines.

Healthy hair growth is encouraged as the warm medicinal oil strengthens the hair and scalp whilst toxins and impurities are released through the scalp and the skin detoxifying the body. Shirodhara will energetically balance the doshas (energy points) within the body, promoting overall wellness.

A lower leg and foot massage will complete this treatment.

It's important to note that shirodhara should be performed by trained and experienced ayurvedic therapists - your treatment will take place after your ayurvedic consultation analysis to determine your dosha constitution and imbalances.
