Shirodhara
1hr/ 2800THB
“The Queen of Ayurvedic Oil Therapies”
This treatment involves pouring a warm stream of herbalized oil over the client’s forehead. Also known as bliss therapy, Shirodhara is one of the most powerful treatments to relieve Vata in the mind. Excess Vata & Pitta in the mind manifests as stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, fatigue and psychological disorders.
Shirodhara works mainly on the mental sheath (manomaya kosha) where the mind holds on to past impressions, imbalanced desires and habitual behavioural patterns.
Results of this treatment include improved ability to handle stress, mood stabilization, better cognitive function, and removal of deep-seated patterns that cause emotional distortion.
Intuition and subtle inner vision awaken, subconscious negative blocks dissipate, and stagnant energy leaves the body.
One’s consciousness clears up and mental chatter disappears, making it easier to make decisions and interact with the world.
Shirodhara is often compared to proper sleep while being awake. During Shirodhara, you are aware that you are not sleeping, but you are feeling completely «disconnected» from reality. Upon completion, you feel fully rested, which sometimes cannot be achieved even after a long sleep.
