sirodhara

“Sirodhara” literally means continuous flow (dhara) on the head (sira). Just as the root forms the base of a plant so in Ayurveda the head is considered the root of the body. Therefore, Sirodhara is of utmost importance in ayurvedic treatment. Medicated oil, medicated butter milk, etc are allowed to flow in a continuous flow over the upper part of the forehead thus stimulating the pineal gland in the brain which produces serotonin and melatonin. These hormones play an important role in each person’s emotional balance. The treatment may last for about 40 minutes in a day for a period of 7 to 21 days. It is highly effective for diseases of the nervous system and for emotional problems such as chronic depression, insomnia, loss of memory and anxiety (panic) attacks.
