Ancient Wisdom

What is Shirodhara?

Shirodhara comes from two Sanskrit words: "Shiro" (head) and "Dhara" (flow). It involves the continuous, rhythmic pouring of warm medicated oil or herbal decoctions over the forehead, specifically targeting the "Ajna" chakra (third eye).

This gentle pressure and warmth deeply relax the central nervous system, calming the mind and reducing stress hormones. At Kaivalya Clinic, we use specialized formulations like Brahmi oil, sesame oil, or medicated milk decoctions tailored to your specific condition.
