The Ayurveda Experience March 19, 2015

Nowadays everyone from children to adults are living their lives like machines. No one has time to get relief from their day to day stress and tension and as a result, people are experiencing stress, insomnia, depression and loss of memory. All of this can become the causative factors for hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and many more life style disorders.

The best Ayurvedic procedure for relaxation and relief from the aforementioned symptoms is shirodhara.

What is Shirodhara?

Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic procedure that is an important part of the detox therapy for the removal of toxins from our minds. Keeping our minds healthy is essentially important for the prevention of any disease. Also, mental relaxation is needed to cure any disease pathology. As Ayurveda has given equal importance to mental health, this therapy focusing on psychological well-being forms an important part of detox therapy.

The word shirodhara literally means: ‘head’ (shira) and ‘pouring’ (dhara).

Dhara or ‘stream’

Shirodhara is the process of pouring a stream of warm liquids over the forehead of a person. Most commonly oils are used for this purpose. It is done for the fomentation of the head region to provide complete mental relaxation.

Shirodhara is essential in the following conditions:

1. Hair loss
2. Graying of hair
3. Improper vision
4. Hypertension
5. Anxiety
6. Depression
7. Irritability
8. Loss of sleep
9. Paralysis
10. Headache and many more...

The Procedure

The patient lays down on a table with his palms facing up. Massage is done over the head with medicated oils and then the stream of desired liquid is allowed to flow over the forehead of the patient. This session can last for about 1/2 -1 hr. This procedure is done in a calm room with soft music, candles, and flowers for complete relaxation of the mind.

Medicines in Shirodhara

Most commonly medicated oils are used for shirodhara but it can also be given with decoctions, milk, buttermilk, etc. Medicines in shirodhara are determined according to one’s dosha.

Formulations for Shirodhara
