Shirodhara / Hot Oil Scalp Massage

Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic hair and scalp treatment that has been practiced for the last 2000 years in India. This treatment gives a heightened sensation of inner calm. It begins with a gentle dripping of warm herbal oil to the “third eye” and quiets the mind and balances the nervous system.

Shirodhara is a unique therapy where the guest lies down upon a massage table with their eyes covered. Then, a specially prepared warm herbal oil is poured in a thin steady stream through a spigot directly onto the forehead and sixth chakra. This blissful therapy purifies the mind, alleviates anxiety, reduces headaches and expands awareness. As the oil flows into the hair and on to the scalp, a gentle choreographed massage is performed in the head, neck and shoulders.

Shirodhara can be administered by itself or as part of a Pancha Karma.

You can add Ozone treatment to disinfect your scalp and increase blood circulation.
