What is Shirodhara?
The most ancient modality brought to you from India, Shirodhara is not only extremely effective in alleviating mental stress and nervous tension, all of which are rampant in today's society, but feels utterly luxurious and nurturing, for the mind body and spirit.

A stream of warm oil runs down onto your third eye and through your scalp from a metallic pot safely suspended above your head. Regular and consistant Shirodhara treatments improve the function of your five senses including memory, serves to relax your autonomic nervous system, and activates your lymphatic system to remove energetic debris.

An absolute state of near bliss and wellness is induced in the process.  During this treatment your brain waves become synchronous, your metabolism is lowered and your nervous system disarmed so that the deepest level of healing can be accessed.  Many clients describe as having experienced a state of profound euphoria.

Purpose

Shirodhara massage deeply relaxes your nervous system, lowers your metabolism, integrates brain function, and creates brain wave coherence and an alpha state.  Shirodhara is deeply stimulating, strengthening and calming to your entire nervous system, releasing endorphins, which create feelings of relaxation. The warm oil also nourishes your hair and your scalp.

Benefits
This unique therapy induces extraordinary bliss during which a controlled flow of warm induced oil is gently poured over your "Ajana" or Third Eye Chakra.  The organic vegetable base oil then streams down your "Suhasrara" or Crown Chakra, which magnifies your senses, disperses negative electrical impulses that accumulate in the forehead from stress, reverses imbalances within your body, rejuvenates your mind and actually renews a new lease on life!  Shirodhara is by far the most unique massage therapy technique available in the West for reducing stress and enhancing cellular intelligence and immunity.

In complementary and alternative medicine your health and well being might take time to get better, depending on your individual responses.  Remember that everything is a process, as opposed to a quick fix, so the frequency and potency of treatments are constantly changing to meet your individual needs.  After your first consultation, subsequent treatments will be progressively more intense to affect the deeper parts of your mind, the nervous system, tissues and emotions.

It is recommend that you rest and relax following a blissful Shirodhara treatment for at least two hours, as your mind will be very calm.  Unlike with traditional massage, it is common for you to remain in a near blissful state of peace and harmony for days following your treatment.
