Sirodhaara — Head, Neck & Foot Massage

Massage of head, neck and feet combined with sirodhaara. Improves sleep quality and reduces tension headaches.

I · Overview

This 90-minute package is thoughtfully designed to balance the body's core neurological and peripheral stress gateways. It opens with an intensive head massage (Shiro-Abhyanga) and a deep neck and shoulder massage to release accumulated tension across the upper body.

Shirodhara then follows over the forehead, while the therapist concurrently performs Paada-Abhyanga, a foot reflexology that works the marma points of the soles. You can expect localised deep-tissue relief, a sense of mental weightlessness from the oil pour, and a grounding, sensory-anchoring foot massage, often accompanied by deep relaxation and a tendency to drift towards sleep. The hair and scalp are left saturated with nourishing oils.
