SHIRO DHARA

Shiro Dhara has immense impact on the nervous system. It immediately acts to calm and relax your mind and has a cleansing effect on the nerves.

Shiro - head

Dhara - pouring in stream

Shiro Dhara is extremely beneficial for people suffering from imbalance of Vata and Pitta. A person suffers from feelings of fear, insecurity and worry when his/her Vata is out of balance. Imbalance of Pitta can cause a person to become angry, frustrated, irritated and even cause him to lose the sense of right and wrong. Shiro Dhara involves the use of such liquids that help to counter the negative effects of the out-of-balance Doshas or conditions. The liquid soothes and pacifies the Doshas when applied to the forehead, scalp and nervous system.

PROCEDURE

Do head massage with appropriate oil for 5 to 10 minutes before procedure. Whole body massage may be needed as per requirement of patient in any particular bodily conditions. Ask individual to lie on back (in supine position) on Shiro Dhara table. Keep small pillow or cloth under the neck to support. Adjust shirodhara pot or equipment, so that oil from the pot falls on the forehead. Distance from the pore of the pot and forehead should be about 10 cm. Put oil in the Shiro Dhara pot and start pouring oil or liquids over the forehead and head of the patient. Ask patient to relax and enjoy the sensation coming from pouring oil over the head or forehead. A continuous stream of the oil should be poured over the forehead and oscillate or move the pot from one side to other side of forehead, so that stream of the oil goes from left lateral part of forehead to right lateral part of forehead and vice versa. Recollect the oil from the table, reheat it and maintain temperature of shiordhara oil, put the recollected oil in Shiro Dhara pot. After the Shiro Dhara, the oil or liquids are wiped off from the forehead and head and then patient should relax for 30 to 60 minutes. Patient can take bath with medicated water or warm water after 30 minutes of the procedure.
