Shirodhara

The Stream of Stillness

About this treatment

Shirodhara is one of the most profound therapies in classical Ayurveda. A steady stream of warm medicated oil is poured across the forehead — over the ajna marma — for thirty to forty-five minutes, inducing a meditative state of deep stillness.

The therapy works directly on the central nervous system and the subtle channels of the head. It is widely prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, migraines, and the mental fatigue of modern living.
