The Ultimate Ayurvedic Relaxation for Mind & Nervous System
Shirodhara is an exceptionally relaxing Ayurvedic therapy in which a continuous stream of soothing warm herbal oils, milk, or buttermilk is poured on the forehead, helping to soothe the nervous system and calm the mind.
This deeply meditative therapy induces profound feelings of peace and happiness in the mind while balancing the vital energy centers. The rhythmic flow of warm liquid creates a hypnotic effect that releases deep-seated stress and tension.
