Shirodhara Oil

About Shirodhara Oil

Aarviyon Shirodhara Oil is formulated for the therapy it is named after: a continuous stream of warm oil poured over the forehead for thirty to sixty minutes. The base is cold-pressed sesame infused with Brahmi, Bhringraj, Jatamansi and Ashwagandha — the classical Medhya herbs that act on the nervous system.

Shirodhara is one of the most striking therapies in Panchkarma. The steady, unvarying stream on the forehead is thought to work on the nervous system directly, and clinical interest in it has centred on anxiety, insomnia and stress. It is traditionally performed by a trained therapist rather than at home.
