Shirodhara Therapy
Experience the ancient art of Shirodhara at Meadows – a tranquil oasis for your well-being. The term “Shirodhara” finds its roots in Sanskrit, with ‘shiro’ meaning head and ‘dhara’ signifying flow. This rejuvenating therapy involves the gentle pouring of warm, herbalized Ayurvedic oil onto your forehead, creating a profoundly soothing experience.
The therapy begins with a precise dosha-specific oil flow, initially directed from the right temple to the left. After a few minutes, the stream gracefully transitions to the center of the forehead, where it continues uninterrupted for the duration of the treatment.
Overview of the Process:
Preparation: The individual lies down on a comfortable surface, typically a massage table, with their eyes covered to create a calm and serene environment.
Choice of oil: Different oils or liquids may be used based on the individual’s dosha (body type) and the desired therapeutic effect. Common oils include sesame oil, coconut oil, or a specialized herbal oil blend.
Temperature: The oil is gently heated to a comfortable temperature before being poured onto the forehead. The warm liquid creates a soothing sensation.
Application: The oil is poured in a continuous and rhythmic flow from a vessel, usually suspended above the forehead. The stream is directed to flow over the center of the forehead, where the “third eye” or ajna chakra is located.
Duration: The therapy typically lasts for about 30 to 60 minutes, during which the individual is encouraged to relax and allow the oil to work its calming and balancing effects.
