Shirodhara
Shiro is head and Dhara is a stream. Shirodhara is a nourishing and rejuvenating head therapy that uses a continuously moving stream of herbal oil/liquid on the forehead and scalp to remove mental clutter, release stress and anxiety, eliciting a deep state of relaxation. It is especially useful in chronic headaches or migraines, helps improve sleep and brings grounding to the nervous system. It is extremely useful in alleviating Vata and Pitta disorders.
MORE INFORMATION
Ayurveda views the human body as an inverted tree, where the head serves as the root, the thorax and abdomen form the trunk, and the limbs extend as branches. Just as roots sustain and nourish a tree, the head functions as the command center of the body, guiding its overall well-being. This is why it is referred to as Uttamanga—the supreme organ. When the head is well cared for, the entire body operates harmoniously.
Shirodhara is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy designed to nourish and rejuvenate the head. In this treatment, warm oil (or other therapeutic liquids) is poured in a continuous stream over the forehead, an area rich in nerve endings. The gentle pressure creates a subtle vibration, allowing the liquid to deeply penetrate the scalp and nervous system, inducing a profound state of relaxation. This therapy calms the mind, soothes the nervous system, and fosters neurophysiological balance. It promotes deep inner awareness, tranquility, and mental clarity while gently stimulating the Ajna Chakra (Third Eye) and marma points on the forehead, helping to relieve sensory overload and enhance focus.

Akanksha at Purnam Ayurveda is so warm and welcoming. She is very knowledgeable. The Ayurvedic massage is unlike any I have had before and the Shirodhara is extremely calming.
