Shirodhara Kerala authentic Treatment

Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. The term "Shirodhara" is derived from two Sanskrit words:

- "Shiro" meaning "head"
- "Dhara" meaning "flow" or "stream"

In this therapy, a continuous stream of warm oil or liquid is poured onto the forehead, typically in a gentle, rhythmic manner. This treatment is designed to calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and promote deep relaxation.

Shirodhara is mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts, such as the Charaka Samhita and the Ashtanga Hridayam, which describe its use in treating various conditions, including anxiety, insomnia, and stress.

Over time, Shirodhara has evolved and spread to other parts of the world, with various adaptations and interpretations. However, its roots and origins remain deeply rooted in traditional Ayurvedic medicine and Indian culture.
