Keraliyan Therapies (Shirodhara)

Shirodhara, one of the most renowned Keraliyan therapies, is a deeply relaxing Ayurvedic treatment that involves the gentle, continuous pouring of warm herbal oil over the forehead. This therapy is a cornerstone of Kerala Ayurveda, designed to calm the nervous system, alleviate stress, and promote mental clarity. At Navyam Ayurveda, we offer authentic Shirodhara treatments that restore inner balance and enhance well-being, giving you an experience of deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

What is Shirodhara?

Shirodhara is composed of two syllables derived from Sanskrit: “Shiro” meaning head and Dhara which connotes flow. As it forms part of the procedure, a constant stream of warm medicated oil is poured in a rhythmic pattern on the forehead. The area covered is called the ‘third eye” or low, deeper, and inner center Ajna chakra. The technique assists in calming the agitated mind and reducing stress levels while enabling and maintaining balance in the body, mind, and spirit.

Benefits of Shirodhara

Shirodhara has many health advantages and is not only for relaxing purposes:

• Stress Reduction: Shirodhara calms the active mind, relaxing the stress and tension that could be affecting the body.
• Improved Sleep Quality: This type of treatment effectiveness in providing comfort sleep has made its use widespread to patients with yawning disorders characterized by excessive and non-coherent naps despite dysregulation in activity cycles.
• Mental Clarity and Focus: This procedure tends to void the mind and allows one to think clearly and be able to remember things as well as focus.
• Relief from Headaches and Migraines: Pouring of warm oil in a slow stream reduces tension-type headaches and migraines or sinus headache.
• Balancing the Nervous System: In Shirodhara the nervous system is pacified such that symptoms of worry, depression, and emotional disturbance are less prevalent.
