Shirodhara therapy induces profound relaxation in both the mind and body, facilitated by the harmonization of brain wave coherence, alpha waves, and the reduction of sympathetic nervous system activity. This tranquil state is often associated with the stimulation of the pineal gland, located at the center of the forehead, commonly referred to as the ‘third eye’.
Preparation: The recipient is comfortably positioned on a massage table or chair, ensuring relaxation throughout the session. The room is often dimly lit, with soft music playing to enhance the calming ambiance.
Selection of Oils: The session begins with the selection of specific oils or herbal liquids based on the individual’s dosha (body constitution) and therapeutic needs. These oils may include sesame oil, coconut oil, or medicated herbal oils tailored to address specific health concerns.
Heating of Oils: The selected oil is gently heated to a comfortable temperature, ensuring that it remains warm throughout the treatment. Heating the oil helps to enhance its therapeutic properties and facilitates absorption into the scalp and nervous system.
Positioning of Equipment: A specialized vessel, called a Dhara pot, is suspended above the recipient’s forehead. The pot is filled with the warm oil or herbal liquid and positioned at a precise height to ensure a continuous, gentle flow of liquid onto the recipient’s forehead.
Commencement of Flow: The therapist initiates a slow and steady flow of the warm oil or herbal liquid from the Dhara pot onto the center of the recipient’s forehead, specifically targeting the area known as the “third eye” or Ajna chakra.
Rhythmic Movement: The liquid flows in a continuous stream, creating a rhythmic and soothing sensation as it cascades over the forehead and scalp. The therapist may adjust the flow rate and temperature of the liquid according to the recipient’s comfort and therapeutic requirements.
Duration of Treatment: A typical Shirodhara session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, allowing ample time for the recipient to enter a deeply relaxed state and experience the full benefits of the treatment.
Integration of Additional Techniques: During the treatment, the therapist may incorporate gentle massage techniques to further enhance relaxation and promote the absorption of the oil into the scalp and nervous system.
Post-Treatment Rest: After the session, the recipient is encouraged to rest for a short period, allowing the therapeutic effects of Shirodhara to fully integrate into the body and mind.
