More About Shirodhara
One of the best ways to rebalance the mind and body is with Shirodhara.
This beautiful Ayurveda therapy is without a doubt an experience for those feeling depleted, and overstressed, who have suffered trauma or just need a mind and body reboot!
The primary system that becomes unstable is the nervous system, which in Ayurveda is related to the Vata dosha being out of balance. You may have symptoms including headaches, feeling your mind is foggy or unclear, difficulty in concentrating, tired, sluggish, depressed (winter blues), anxiety, or even have constipation and bloating. Sleep disturbances are also a common complaint that I hear from my clients.
Shirodhara is a great way to help restore the mind and body through the treatment of warm herbal oil poured over the forehead in a gentle and soothing manner. In the Tibetan Shirodhara practice this treatment is enhanced with massage to Marma points (energy points) in the head, hands, and feet, and rounded out with a beautiful oil massage on the stomach to reset the digestive system and release emotional holding patterns allowing more flow of energy and purification.
The end result.. an immense feeling of relaxation and calmness, more clarity in the mind and new sense of wellbeing. One session is very healing… three sessions are amazing… five to seven sessions completely rejuvenating!
