SHIRODHARA
Shirodhara is a rejuvenating oil therapy in Ayurveda that involves the steady and continuous pouring of medicated herbal oils or decoction on the forehead, paved from a certain height. The herbal oils run through the scalp and into the hair for a specific time, thus enhancing the overall functioning of the nervous system and restoring imbalances of doshas in the body while bringing in a worthwhile divine and nourishing experience.
