| Practiced for thousands of years, Shirodhara is a classical Ayurvedic treatment, in which warm oil is poured in a continuous stream on the forehead at the location of the “third eye.”. A receptacle, suspended above the client’s head, is used to drip the liquid in a steady stream onto the forehead and the scalp. Treatment should be followed with a scalp massage for greater benefit. For best results, Ayurvedic practitioners should first determine the client’s dosha type, then add the proper herbs for that dosha type in the oil. Regular Shirodhara enhances blood circulation to the brain, improves memory, nourishes hair and scalp, assists in providing sound sleep, and calms the body and mind. Shirodhara is one of the most effective treatments for reducing stress and nervous tension. This kit is an oil distribution system. It does not include an oil warming unit or receptacle for catching the oil. Therapist must place a receptacle beneath client's head to catch the oil during treatment.
