Shirodhara ~ Head Oil Treatment

[ $90 | $165 with Abhyanga ]

What is it?
Shirodhara is a wonderful relaxation process in which the scalp and the forehead receive a gentle and caressing massage by a thin stream of lukewarm oil. This deceptively simple technique brings clarity to the mind and offers a quiet space to experience our true selves. It gives rise to a very pleasant sense of well being and enhanced clarity as some people describe it as a “blissful state”.

Benefits
This ancient therapy is great for alleviating anxiety, insomnia, mental stress and fatigue. Following a brief massage to bring the body into a deep relaxed state, warm therapeutic oil is then continually poured on your forehead and scalp in a rhythmic manner enhancing circulation in the brain (improving memory), bringing deep relaxation and mental clarity.

Suitable For
It is perfect for high stress corporate workers that have to stare at their computer screens all day long. Shirodhara has a relaxing effect for the whole body as it has a direct impact on calming the nervous system.

We highly recommend this for frequent travelers (air and driving) or those without a set routine in life. Our suggestion is to combine this with an Abhyanga Massage for most benefits.
