Shirodhara / 3rd Eye Oil Stream
Shirodhara means pouring of warm oils over the forehead in a rhythmic manner to sooth the mind & central nervous system. Shiro means head, and Dhara means the stream of liquid, in Sanskrit. This is one of the most soothing Ayurvedic therapies enlisted in ancient Ayurvedic texts to sooth irritable mind. Irritable bowels, and a dysfunctioning mind-body system. Often, it is fondly called as the ‘mind-marinating technique’.
A gentle stream of warm oil is directed onto the Third eye on the forehead, which initiates healing, calms the chattering mind, restores balanced health and imparts meditation effects to the brain. It is the brain’s oasis therapy when you need de-stressing.
It not only revitalizes the mind and body, but also is intensely rejuvenating and anti-aging. Shirodhara improves memory, increases concentration power of the mind, improves vision, imparts internal coolness to the eyes, addresses & corrects neurological disorders, and normalizes sleep patterns and blood pressure levels.
Procedure
Shirodhara is a soothing Ayurvedic therapy that involves pouring warm oil in a rhythmic stream over the forehead, specifically targeting the third eye area. The procedure begins by preparing a calm and serene environment, where the client is comfortably positioned lying on their back with a headrest. A warm, soothing oil—typically sesame or coconut—is selected based on the individual’s needs and gently warmed to a comfortable temperature. The oil is then poured steadily and consistently in a flowing stream over the forehead for about 30 to 45 minutes. This continuous application of warm oil helps to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation. Following the therapy, any excess oil is wiped off the face, and the client is given time to rest, allowing the benefits of the treatment to settle. Shirodhara is known to enhance mental clarity, improve sleep patterns, reduce anxiety, and rejuvenate both the mind and body.
