Sesame and almond oil are used during the Shirodhara treatment. This treatment is therefore not suitable for people with a nut allergy.
Shirodhara literally means “a stream over the head”. Although Shirodhara is a centuries old Ayurvedic ritual, practice shows that it is often still a powerful tool for modern people. The treatment is ideal for mental exhaustion and tension-related complaints such as insomnia, restlessness, headaches, etc.
Shirodhara is a profound treatment involving subtle work on the marma points on the head which brings you to a profound state of tranquility. With Shirodhara, the mind is massaged as it were while a continuous flow of warm oil runs all over the forehead and third eye, which is very stress relieving. This combination is an ultimate benefit for balancing the nervous system.
Only if you let the oil flow continuously, in combination with a balmy temperature, can you sink deeper and deeper into a pleasant state of rest.
The Shirodhara brings great mental relaxation. It creates a feeling of clarity and openness and awakens the body’s natural sense of balance and harmony. This allows you to rediscover a state of peace and tranquility by calming your psyche. Shirodhara awakens a meditative feeling.
