Ayurvedic Blissful Mind Shirodhara

75 minutes

Overview

Indulge in the ultimate relaxation experience with our Blissful Mind Shirodhara treatment.

Shirodhara, referred to in Ayurveda as 'The King of Treatments', is a sanskrit word, meaning 'head flow', and is an ancient practice used traditionally to treat stress and anxiety.

One client referred to the feeling as being an oil painting that had been rubbed out. This therapy is often described as leaving clients feeling like they have had a full nights' sleep.

This deeply soothing ritual begins with a gentle face massage designed to melt away tension, and prepare the mind and body for the journey ahead. A warm stream of nourishing oil is poured in a rhythmic manner onto the Third Eye point on your forehead, sending you into a meditative state. Once the pour has been completed, the therapist will leave you to rest for approximately 15 minutes. You will be woken up to a gentle scalp massage to complete the perfect treatment.

The consistent flow of warm liquid on the forehead has an immediate calming effect on the mind and nervous system, leading to deep relaxation and a reduction in mental exhaustion.

Shirodhara is believed to alleviate burnout, stress, anxiety, and depression, improve sleep, and canalso help with conditions like headaches, migraines, and fatigue.

Please be aware that this treatment will leave the hair very oily - we recommend for this reason to bring along a hat if the weather is cold.

Not suitable in pregnancy or for those who have suffered a recent bereavement.
