Ayurveda Hair Treatment

Combination of siro-abhyangam and takra dhaara (medicated buttermilk treatment). Scalp and hair oil massage, medicine application, combing and a medicated kashaya wash for dandruff, scalp itch and stress-induced hair fall.

I · Overview

A dedicated therapy for hair concerns, this treatment brings together Siro-Abhyangam and Takra Dhaara (medicated buttermilk). It begins with a scalp and hair oil massage using a specific hair oil to improve hair quality and strengthen the roots, followed by medicine application and combing. A continuous flow of medicated buttermilk is then poured over the forehead, before a final medicated Kashaya wash of the scalp and hair.

Intensely cooling, refreshing and calming, it is an ideal choice for those troubled by stubborn dandruff, a sensitive scalp or stress-related hair fall. Shower facilities, including a towel, warm water and shampoo, are provided afterwards so you can leave feeling refreshed.
