Shirodhara offers effective stress reduction by inducing calm and tranquillity. The constant flow of warm oil promotes relaxation, triggering the relaxation response. This state changes the brain patterns from hyperactive beta waves to relaxed alpha waves. This technique activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones, heart rate and muscle tension. One study demonstrated the impact of shirodhara on markers of relaxation: reduced respiratory rate, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. It is a great treatment for Vata-caused disorders such as insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, worry, hypertension, etc.

 

This is a classical Ayurvedic therapy. Warm medicated oil is poured steadily and in a gentle rhythm on the forehead and third eye. This action has a profound balancing effect while stimulating the nervous system.

 

Initial consultation is mandatory.
