Shirodhara Therapy – Find Calmness with Gentle Flow

“Health and happiness reside in calmness!”

And calmness can be achieved through the ancient Shirodhara therapy at Meadows Wellness. Shirodhara originates from ancient Ayurveda, and is derived from Sanskrit, where “shiro” means “head” and “dhara” means “flow.”

Shirodhara therapy involves pouring a warm dosha-specific oil over the centre of the forehead, followed by a gentle massage into the skin. This provides mental calmness and improves brain function.

The Healing Process of Shirodhara Therapy

The centre of the forehead is the region of the ‘third-eye’ chakra, which corresponds to a small part of the brain called the hypothalamus.
The medicated oil produces a calming effect on the forehead, which is transmitted to the hypothalamus via peripheral nerves, leading to mental relaxation and clarity by regulating hormones.
Furthermore, the use of warm medicated oil during the therapy helps dilate blood vessels and enhances blood circulation, alleviating stress, and mental fatigue, and encouraging restful sleep.
Shirodhara therapy follows this process:

• You will lie down on the massage table with your eyes closed, arms resting comfortably at your sides.
• The therapist suspends a small pot with a tiny hole about 10-15 cm above your forehead. Based on your dosha or desired therapeutic effect, the pot is filled with oil, such as sesame oil, coconut oil, or a specialized herbal oil.
• The oil is gently warmed to a comfortable temperature to create a soothing sensation.
• Before the therapy begins, you'll receive a relaxing 10-minute head massage to stimulate the nerve endings in your scalp.
• The therapist then pours the warm oil in a rhythmic stream over your forehead, focusing on the 'third eye' chakra, while gently massaging the area.
• This process lasts for 30-60 minutes, after which any excess oil is carefully wiped away from your forehead.
