How is Shirodhara done?

  • The recipient is first made ready for the therapy by making him/her lie on his/her back on the massage table.
  • A rolled towel is placed on the forehead just above to the eyebrows to prevent the flow of oil into the eyes.
  • Gentle oil massage is given by the therapist on the recipient’s head (or whole body if necessary)
  • A vessel with a hole on the center of its base is hung about four fingers above of the patient’s head.
  • A cotton plug is place in the hole which will later be useful for maintaining the control of flow of oil.
  • Medicated oil is warmed alongside these preparations.
  • After the oil has been warmed up to a tolerable temperature, then it is poured into the hung vessel.
  • The cotton plug is opened and the vessel is given a small circular motion such that the oil is spread over large area on the forehead.
  • After the therapy session ends, recipient is asked to sit upright and the oil on the head is cleared properly.
  • The recipient is then recommended to take a warm bath.

Benefits of Shirodhara in Nepal Yoga Home

The classical purpose for designing the therapy of Shirodhara was to pacify the aggravated Vata in the head region. Aggravated Vata in head region is responsible for pain, anxiety and sleeplessness. So classically Shirodhara was being therapeutically used for headache, insomnia and anxiety.

Recent scientific studies have hypothesized the working of Shirodhara based on mechanical stress waves. The continuous oil dripping on the forehead at a constant rate generates mechanical stress waves. These waves stimulate the touch and heat receptors which leads to neurological signaling for relaxation.

The general results that can be observed from Shirodhara include reduced heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and anxiolytic effect. All of these suggest that Shirodhara slows down the sympathetic tone.

  • Migraine and other kind of chronic headache is better relieved by Shirodhara.

  • Beneficial for the patients of high blood pressure
