Therapy

Shiro Abhyanga

Massage of the scalp, neck and shoulders with warm medicated oil, where most people hold their tension without noticing.

What it is

Warm oil is worked into the scalp and along the neck and shoulder muscles, with attention to the marma points of the head.

What it helps

Tension headache, mental fatigue, poor sleep, hair fall, premature greying and dry scalp. It pairs naturally with Shiro-Dhara and Nasya.

What to expect

Oil is left in the hair for a period afterwards. Bring a comb and expect to wash your hair later in the day.
