Shirodhara is a specialised ancient Ayurvedic therapy that involves the gentle and continuous pouring of warm herbal oil onto the forehead and scalp of an individual. This deeply relaxing treatment is designed to promote relaxation, balance the nervous system, and alleviate stress-related issues. As the liquid flows onto the forehead's centre, it creates a rhythmic sensation that is believed to have a calming effect on the mind and emotions. Shirodhara is often recommended for conditions such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, and headaches, and it is administered by qualified Ayurvedic practitioners after considering the individual's unique constitution and health profile.

The warm herbal oil is poured from a vessel suspended above the forehead, on specialised shirodhara equipment, in a continuous and rhythmic stream for a specified duration, typically around 20 to 30 minutes. The treatment concludes with a soothing, yet invigorating Ayurvedic head massage.
