A continuous flow of warm herb-infused oil onto the forehead, melting away stress and anxiety.
Shirodhara comes from the Sanskrit words 'shiro' (head) and 'dhara' (flow). It involves gently pouring warm, herbalized liquids (usually sesame oil, buttermilk, or coconut water) onto the third eye chakra. It stimulates the pineal gland, balances the endocrine system, and places the brain into a state of deep, restorative alpha waves.
