SHIRODHARA THERAPY

It is a therapy well known in the tradition of the Indian medical system Ayurveda.

It is celebrated for the remarkable and very complex effects it has both on the body and on the psycho-emotional level.

The therapy consists of a continuous flow of warm oil pouring gently onto the forehead.

Dr. Preeti Seth, founder and director of Pachouli Aesthetics, states that Shirodhara therapy can be offered to those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, sleep issues, insomnia, mental fatigue, migraines, headaches, hair and scalp issues, difficulty focusing, or a lack of mental clarity.

Shirodhara therapy brings about a deep state of relaxation, beyond what we typically experience. As a result, chronic joint pain and muscle pain can also be eased.

Here is a list that includes some of its effects:
  • Reduces tension and stress of any kind
  • Purification and renewal of body and mind
  • Eases mental fatigue
  • Enhances sensory perception
  • Relaxes the hypothalamus, which controls the pituitary gland, considered the most important endocrine organ
  • Balances hormonal activity
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Eases insomnia
  • Brings clarity to the mind and sharpens its focus
  • Eases migraines
  • Improves the quality of the scalp and hair
  • Eases symptoms specific to menopause.

At the Elisara SPA Center, Shirodhara therapy is performed using cold-pressed sesame oil or cold-pressed sunflower oil.

Sesame oil naturally contains minerals: iron, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, silicic acid, and calcium.

Sesame oil has a rich content of linoleic acid. This acid plays a role in supporting important processes in the body: regulating blood lipid levels, blood pressure, clotting function, immune function, and reproductive function, and reducing inflammation.

This acid is also an important structural component of cell membranes. Therefore, it can influence their properties and support their permeability, flexibility, and fluidity.

The lecithin content of sesame oil has a beneficial effect on the endocrine glands, on the nerves, and on the nerve cells.

The oil extracted from black sesame seeds can heal inflammation, ease pain and muscle stiffness, strengthen the skin, and nourish the hair. Used regularly, it slows the graying of hair and helps restore its color.

It also improves the texture of the skin and helps prevent premature aging.

Consistent use of it enhances the shape of the breasts.

This oil also boosts vitality and spermatogenesis and helps ease gout and arthritis. (excerpt from "Ayurvedic Massage" by Harish Johari) https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/health-fitness/web-stories/shirodhara-10-brilliant-benefits-of-this-ayurvedic-therapy/photostory/104575887.cms
