Shirodhara is an oil therapy combining shiro meaning head and dhara meaning flow. Shirodhara is positioned as "brain massage" and "brain treatment" in ancient Indian medicine Ayurveda. The treatment method of dripping oil on the forehead is effective for stiff shoulders, eye fatigue, stress reduction, and dementia prevention. It stands out for treating anxiety, psychiatric disorders, and extreme stress. Head drop oil therapy A therapy in which a “liquid” is slowly poured onto the forehead. Oil warmed to human skin is poured onto the sixth chakra between the eyebrows, also known as the “third eye,” in a certain rhythm for a certain amount of time. It's a treatment method, but to be precise, instead of dripping the oil on the same spot between the eyebrows all the time, the therapist slowly moves the ball in the oil from side to side, and the pressure created by the flow of the oil across the forehead gently massages the entire forehead. A massage would be the correct term. Before performing Shirodhara, a head massage is usually performed to loosen the muscles of the entire head and forehead. By pouring warm oil over the entire head from between the eyebrows, alpha waves are increased, leading to a state of deep relaxation and wellness, but most clients find themselves in a meditative state or sound asleep. After Shirodara is over, wrap a towel around your head and relax. You'll feel drowsy for a while, so it's best to be as quiet and relaxed as possible. Leave it on for at least 3 hours. In the authentic Shirodhara, the oil cannot be drained for three days. Doctors say that it is best to leave Shirodara oil on the hair and scalp without shampooing. It is important to be as quiet as possible and exercise should be avoided. |
