Therapy
Shiro-Dhara
A continuous, unbroken stream of warm oil poured across the forehead, the single most effective Ayurvedic treatment for a nervous system that will not settle.
What it is
Warm medicated oil, buttermilk or decoction flows from a suspended vessel in a steady stream onto the forehead, moving slowly from side to side. The rhythm and temperature are held constant for the whole session.
What it helps
Insomnia, anxiety, chronic stress, migraine and tension headache, hypertension, and the mental restlessness that accompanies long illness. Many patients fall asleep during the session itself.
What to expect
You lie still on your back for the duration. The effect is cumulative, so Shiro-Dhara is usually given as a course over consecutive days rather than as a single treatment.
Typical duration
30–45 minutes
Suitability is decided at consultation. Durations here are typical, not promises.
