Ayurveda Shirodhara
* The Most Popular Therapy in Ayurveda.
Experience the most divine ancient Ayurvedic ritual to rest and calm the mind at Ayurveda Wellness Center & Holistic Spa - Shirodhara. A steady flow of warm oil onto the forehead stimulates the pituitary gland, or "third-eye." This is one of the most divine therapies, awakening your body’s intuitive knowledge.
"Shiro, " means head, and "dhara" is the continuous flow of a liquid. In this process, warm herbal oils, milk or buttermilk, or decoctions are poured in a slow steady stream on your forehead. This treatment is profoundly relaxing, nourishing. It will improve your mental clarity and comprehension.

Please note - Oil is generously applied during Abhyanga session and also all of our ayurveda therapies. Shirodhara session makes hair VERY oily. Please do not plan social events or outdoor events after your Ayurevda/ Shirodhara/ Panchakarma session. Try to rest staying indoor. You may shower after 2 hours after shirodhra to remove oil from hair as it is recommended to keep oil on the body for minimum 2 hours (ideally 24 hours) as it continues to heal cells after the therapy.
