Shirodhara is always preceded by a four handed full body herbal oil massage, which involves the pouring of a slow, steady stream of warm herbal oil onto the ‘third eye’chakra on the forehead, followed by a gentle scalp massage. Performed in absolute silence, Shirodhara induces a blissful sense of inner stillness. It expands consciousness, relieves insomnia and stress and deeply nourishes the hair and scalp.
