Understanding Shirodhara
A Gentle Ayurvedic Therapy Designed for Deep Relaxation
Shirodhara is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy in which a gentle, continuous stream of warm medicated oil is poured over the forehead in a calm and controlled rhythm.
During Shirodhara, the guest rests comfortably while warm Ayurvedic oil is allowed to flow steadily across the forehead. The slow, repetitive movement and warmth of the oil create a quiet and deeply relaxing treatment experience.
At Sandhya Hot Spring Health Care, the type of oil, treatment duration and overall approach may be selected according to individual assessment, comfort and therapeutic requirements.
Shirodhara may be offered as an individual therapy or combined with treatments such as Abhyanga and other Ayurvedic practices when considered suitable as part of a personalised treatment plan.
“A gentle, continuous rhythm allows the body and mind time to slow down, settle and experience deep relaxation.
