What can you expect during Shirodhara?

Shirodhara involves a gentle and continuous stream of thin, medicated warm oil 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 in Shirodhara 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.

Shirodhara is applied during the treatment, and the client will experience a calm and meditative state of mind while lying on their back.

It helps to relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, fatigue, hypertension, tension, worry, fear, insomnia, and headache, as well as mild depression. You may feel calm, relaxed, feel good within yourself, happier and joyful.
