Shirodhara: Third Eye Oil Massage and Meditation "Training"

Shirodhara is gaining in popularity in the West, finding its way into spas around America. The experience of warm, herbed oil flowing onto your head is so calming and soothing to mind and body that many problems melt away. “Shiro” means head and “dhara” means flow -- a simple term for an incredible experience. Once experienced, one remembers the path to this place when they want to return again.

Shirodhara can be given as a stand-alone treatment, in which case scents and herbs that are tridoshic, appropriate for all, will be used. When preceded by a consultation, the oil can be decocted with herbs and scents specific to any imbalance the client may be experiencing. Sometimes a series of dharas are given or they may be in conjunction with the complete cleansing of Panchakarma (description below).

The rewards of shirodhara cannot be overstated. In the stressful times we now experience, finding our center of peace can be very difficult. Shirodhara takes you to your center over and over again; reminding you where your peace lies and how to return to it more easily in the future. This amazing treatment is of benefit in correcting any imbalance that is related to stress, the central nervous system or the mental emotional matrix. Is there anything that would not improve if our stress level lessened? Plus what it does for the hair and scalp is a wonder! One treatment is $80, or $65 each in a series of three or more.
