SHIRODHARA
SHIRODHARA is the process of letting a continual flow of warm medicated oil to stimulate the third eye and the entire area of the forehead. The time allotted to this procedure varies between 30 to 60 minutes. Researches are showing that this therapy, through the stimulation of the hypothalamus, induces vasodilatation within the brain therefore enabling an increase of flow of oxygen into the brain with a nourishing effect on the entire nervous system.
Shirodhara (shiro=head; dhara=protection) is mainly one of the best tonics of the nervous system, proving to induce very efficiently a state of deep relaxation. It treats effectively diseases affecting the head, the eyes and chronic sinusitis. Its soothing effect on the nervous system alleviates stress and calms the mind improving the power of comprehension and our memory. It is calming and relaxing and quite helpful for stress, anxiety, insomnia, nervous disorders, migraines, lower back pain, kidney problems and constipation.At a deeper level, this procedure helps release our emotional blockages, our non-solved negative patterns stored at the deeper level of our mental field.
