Abhyangam with Sirodhaara (Rehabilitation)
Ayurvedic oil massage combined with sirodhaara to reduce body pain, stiffness, facial stiffness and nerve problems. Practitioner consultation required.
This premier stress-elimination and neurological-rehabilitation sequence pairs a full-body oil massage with Sirodhaara, where a warm stream of medicated oil, herbal milk or buttermilk is poured in a continuous rhythmic arc across the forehead. It targets the Ajna chakra and the frontal cortex.
Following the massage, you lie with your eyes protected and feel a warm, steady, perfectly regulated stream on the forehead; the rhythmic oscillation induces a meditative state that often leads to deep, restorative sleep.
What this therapy supports
- Releases deep-seated psychological stress and anxiety
- Eradicates chronic tension headaches
- Restores deep sleep in cases of insomnia
- Helps stabilize elevated blood pressure
- Relieves facial-nerve stiffness
