Translating to oil flow (dhara) on head (shiro), shirodhara is one of Ayurveda's most rejuvenating treatments working directly on the central nervous system to reduce levels of stress hormones. Depending on the individuals age, constitution, and dosha imbalance, an Ayurveda Practitioner will determine the duration of the treatment- 30 to 60 minutes and frequency- 3, 7, 14, or 28 days.
Abhyanga is known as a shamana chikitsa, or anxiety soothing treatment. Herbal oils are carefully chosen by an Ayurveda Practitioner to suite the individual's age, constitution, and dosha needs. The duration for this treatment is 60 or 90 minutes.
Shiroabhyanga is a combination of shirodhara and abhyanga for 90 minutes of pure bliss. This mind-body treatment is a soothing treat meant for your entire nervous system.
