About Shirodhara

Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic procedure involving a slow, continuous stream of warm oil poured gently over the forehead (third eye) — an area with a high concentration of nerve endings. It has both preventive and curative effects. Removing toxins from the body, fights insomnia, anxiety, hypertension, degenerative diseases, skin issues, hair loss, and nervous system disorders, among many others.

What’s Included

• A full Shirodhara session (30 minutes in length)
• Paired with a full body massage to release any tension

What to Expect

Shirodhara is performed lying down on a treatment mattress, with oil dripping from a copper vessel gently oscillated by a therapist to maintain a steady flow across the forehead’s pressure points. The gentle, consistent warmth of the liquid creates a genuine sense of deep relaxation for both mind and body throughout the session.
