Shirodhara & Abhyanga

The Royal Ayurvedic Shirodhara Therapy is considered one of the most deeply relaxing Ayurvedic treatments of all. This exceptional version of the therapy includes a four-handed full-body oil massage (Abhyanga) performed by two experienced therapists working in perfect synchrony. Their coordinated, flowing movements harmonize the entire body, promote profound relaxation, and prepare the mind and nervous system for the subsequent Shirodhara treatment.

After the Abhyanga massage follows the Shirodhara itself – warm herbal oil gently poured onto the forehead in the area of the so-called “third eye,” from where it softly flows toward the crown of the head. The continuous, rhythmic stream of oil has a deeply calming effect, helps release tension, and induces a state of deep relaxation. The therapy also includes a massage of the head and neck, further enhancing the overall effects of the procedure.

Shirodhara is used not only as an intensive relaxation therapy to calm the mind, but also to address a range of issues related to the head, eyes, and ears – such as insomnia, long-term stress, mental exhaustion, headaches, or visual disturbances.

The warm oil used in the treatment also has a beneficial effect on the hair and scalp. The herbal extracts it contains provide the hair with essential vitamins, shine, and strength. We recommend leaving the oil on the hair for as long as possible to allow its effects to fully develop.
