Ayurveda treatment for stress and sleep improvement
What is the stress and sleep improvement treatment?
In Ayurveda, it’s called Shirodhara. The person experiences a calm and meditative state of mind while lying on their back, as a thin, continuous stream of warm oil is poured on their forehead.
Who is shirodhara for?
It’s for anyone wanting to relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, fatigue, hypertension, tension, worry, fear, insomnia, and headache, as well as mild depression. At REVIVE Ayurveda in Ashburton, Melbourne, each Shirodhara session is preceded by a brief health assessment to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.
What to expect during Shirodhara?
A gentle and continuous stream of thin, medicated warm oil is poured over your forehead along the hairline and eyebrow, focusing on ‘Ajna marma or Ajna chakra‘, an area where nerves are highly concentrated and connected to the three major glands, the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands.
The rhythmic flow of the oil creates a subtle vibration, stimulating these glands and helping one to better manage his/her stress, sleep, emotions, and circadian cycles. It also helps to promote your feel-good hormones, dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin.
In addition, the pressure of the oil onto the forehead creates vibration, and this stimulation creates positive energy around the heart chakra, like listening to a Buddhist singing bowl.
