The Royal Treatment
The word "shiro" means head and the word "dhara" means stream. This beautiful, deeply relaxing treatment involves pouring a stream of warm oil over the forehead. Shirodhara is a powerful treatment for relieving mental stress and nervous tension. Shirodhara works primarily on the mental sheath or "manomaya kosha" as it is referred to in Ayurveda. It is here that the mind holds on to past impressions that create imbalanced desires and habitual patterns of behavior. These impressions are held captive in the limbic system of the emotional cortex of the brain. Sources: The Encyclopedia of Ayurvedic Massage, Dr. John Douillard.
