Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic therapy that originated in India. It involves pouring warm oil or other liquids, such as milk or herbal decoctions, in a continuous stream onto the forehead, in the area known as the “third eye.” The liquid is typically poured from a specially designed vessel called a Shirodhara pot, which is suspended above the forehead.
Shirodhara is often used as a form of relaxation therapy, as the warm oil and rhythmic flow of the liquid can help calm the mind and promote a sense of peace and tranquility. It can also be used to treat a variety of physical and mental health conditions, such as anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and hypertension.
