Shirodhara
Nervous System Reset & Stress Recovery
Product Name
Shirodhara (Shiro = head, Dhara = to pour) is a profound treatment that works specifically on balancing and stabilizing the activity of the mind. A deeply restorative therapy in which a continuous stream of warm medicated oil is applied to the forehead and scalp, on the areas where nerves are highly concentrated. The warm oil saturates into the nervous system and is deeply nourishing to the scalp and supports drainage of the glymphatic system of the brain.
Clinically, this treatment supports parasympathetic nervous system activation, making it highly effective for stress recovery, sleep disruption or insomnia, anxiety, burnout, and even post-operative nervous system fatigue by facilitating the release of serotonin and decreasing adrenaline which in turn, helps to release mental tensions.
This therapy is especially beneficial for high-performing individuals, athletes, and those recovering from medical procedures who need true neurological rest in order to heal fully. Clients often report improved sleep quality, reduced mental agitation, and a profound sense of grounding and clarity.
Among the myriad of benefits, Shirodhara can also help synchronize the Alpha brain waves, enhance blood circulation to the brain, and improve mental clarity. Overall, it is balancing for the emotions, hormones, and everyday stress factors, as well as Headaches, Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, PTSD, Jet Lag, and more!
*Treatment includes a 30 minute lymphatic massage of the back, shoulder, neck, head, and face with marma acupressure points integration.
*A disposable shower cap and turban will be provided post treatment.
