Shirodhara
Ayurvedic Therapy for Deep Relaxation and Mental Wellness
What is Shirodhara ?
Slip disc, also known as lumbar disc prolapse or disc bulge, occurs when the soft cushioning disc between the vertebrae of the spine protrudes or herniates. This can put pressure on nearby spinal nerves, leading to symptoms such as lower back pain, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
The condition commonly affects people who have prolonged sitting habits, poor posture, heavy lifting, or age-related degeneration of spinal discs. In many cases, patients may experience pain that radiates from the lower back down to the legs, making everyday activities such as walking, bending, or standing difficult.

How Shirodhara Therapy Works
During Shirodhara therapy, warm medicated oil is poured continuously over the forehead using a specially designed vessel. The gentle rhythmic flow stimulates the nerves in the forehead and scalp, helping relax the nervous system and improve blood circulation.
This soothing therapy induces a state of deep relaxation, helping the body release stress and restore balance.
