Shirodhara is a continuous stream of warm oil over the forehead and third eye. It works primarily on the mental layer or "manomaya kosha" as it is known in Ayurveda. It is here, at this level, that the mind holds on to past impressions that create imbalanced desires and habitual patterns of behavior. It is believed that these impressions are held captive in the limbic system of the emotional cortex of the brain. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions including: migraines / headaches, eye diseases, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, graying of hair, neurological disorders, memory loss, insomnia, hearing impairment, tinnitus, depression, anxiety, vertigo, & Ménière's disease. 

Some of the Benefits of Shirodhara: 

• Achieves an instant state of calm and rejuvenation.

• Balancing effect on the deepest recesses of the mind, stimulating the endocrine system, such as the pituitary and pineal glands (for hormonal imbalance).

• Stimulates neurotransmitters, effectively helping to combat depression and emotional insecurity while decreasing stress related hormones within the body.

• Synchronizes alpha brain waves, enhances blood circulation to the brain, improves mental clarity and helps to generally release deeply trapped toxins.

• Relief from mental stress and nervous tension.
