Shirodhara Therapy

Description

Shirodhara is often regarded as the "King of Ayurvedic Treatments" for mental relaxation. The name comes from the Sanskrit words 'Shiro' (head) and 'Dhara' (flow). At Ojani Ayurveda Wellness Center, we offer this divine therapy to help foreign visitors and guests from North India disconnect from the chaos of modern life.

During the session, a continuous, rhythmic stream of warm, medicated herbal oil (or sometimes medicated milk/buttermilk) is gently poured over the forehead, specifically targeting the 'Ajna Chakra' or third eye. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Reethu, this process calms the hypothalamus and soothes the central nervous system, inducing a state of deep meditative bliss. It is the ultimate remedy for jet lag, mental exhaustion, and chronic stress.
