One of the most divine, relaxing therapies, Shirodhara is unique to Ayurveda. Lying on your back, a soothing stream of warm, aromatic sesame oil is gently poured back and forth across your forehead, creating a sensation of such profound, enjoyable and deep relaxation that people often lose all track of time. Many people compare its effects to the transcendence, the meditator's state of bliss.
Shirodhara rejuvenates the entire face and softens worry lines and wrinkles. As the oil is poured on the ajana ( third eye) and sahashra (crown) chakras, the metabolic rate drops and the brain waves slow down and become more coherent, bringing the nervous
system into the depths of inner silence. As the mind is deeply stilled with consecutive Shirodharas, the brain centres start to open up and old stresses, traumas and tensions are peacefully softenend, disarmed and released. Shirodhara balances Prana and Apana Vata, the subdoshas of Vata that govern the activity of your mind and brain, calming your entire body through the central nervous system. Scientific research on Shirodharas shows an increased coherence in brain functioning.
Shirodhara deeply calms the entire body and nervous system, bringing expansion of awareness and helping to relief many disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, mental stress and imbalances, mental fatigue, restlessness, headaches, mild depression and inability to handle stress. It is also used for epilepsy, brain tumors and schizophrenia. Shirodhara is specifically said to strenghten the dhatus ( bodily tissues), to increase ojas and intuition and to bring greater stability in the mind. For optimum results, a series of 3 Shirodharas or more is recommended.
