Shirodhara

Panchakarma Relaxation & Healing

What is Shirodhara?

At AYURnest, our Kerala Ayurvedic Center, we offer the classic Ayurvedic therapy of Shirodhara - a therapeutic process where medicated oils or decoctions are rhythmically poured on the forehead in a stream. This stimulates the Ajna Chakra, often referred to as the "third eye," known for enhancing intuition and spiritual growth.

Depending on individual needs, Shirodhara is performed using oils, milk, buttermilk, ghee, or even sugarcane juice- which may be medicated or unprocessed.

What to Expect During and After Shirodhara?

Shirodhara provides an intense feeling of wellness, mental clarity, and deep relaxation. A gentle stream of warm herbal oil or decoction flows steadily onto your forehead, creating calming vibrations. These vibrations penetrate deeply into your nervous system, nourishing it while enhancing blood circulation to the brain. The soothing warmth and rhythmic flow of oil help release

 stress, leaving you rejuvenated and revitalized.

Duration of the Treatment

Each session lasts between 50 to 60 minutes. To maximize its benefits, it is recommended to undergo this therapy continuously for 14 to 21 days.
