Procedure :-

Purva Karma (Preparatory Stage): The patient is thoroughly examined to ensure they are fit for the procedure. They are advised to use the restroom before lying down in a supine position on the treatment table. Cotton is placed over the eyes and ears to prevent liquid from entering these areas. The Dhara Patra (vessel) is set 4 Angulas (approximately 4 inches) above the forehead.
Once the patient is comfortably positioned, warm liquid is gently poured onto the forehead in a continuous stream for 30 to 45 minutes. The Dhara Patra is moved in a back-and-forth motion, ensuring an even distribution of the liquid. Paschat Karma (Post-Procedural Measures): After the procedure, the oil or liquid is gently wiped away with a clean towel. The scalp is massaged with Rasnadi Churna (a medicated powder), and the patient may receive a full-body massage to further enhance relaxation. It is advisable for the patient to rest for some time after the therapy and take a hot water bath later. Shirodhara is a deeply restorative treatment, promoting not only physical healing but also emotional and mental balance. By incorporating this age-old practice into one’s wellness routine, many find relief from stress, anxiety, and various ailments, leading to improved health and well-being.
