This therapy is so readily used around the world for mental health issues that it is getting backed up by a lot of research in treating depression, anxeity and insomnia.
Shirodhara is derived from two sanskrit words.
Shiro means Head
Dhara means stream or constant flow
Shirodhara is one of the head oleation therapies of Ancient Ayurvedic treatment procedures. There are four head oleation procedures mentioned in ancient ayurvedic texts that have been used widely. Acharya Vagbhatt, one of the gurus of Ayurveda, mentioned four types of murdha tailam (head oleation) methods in his text Ashtang Hridayam, Sutra Sthan Chapter 22, versus 23.
As per this sholka, the four head massage procedure is as follows:
Amongst all the four types of head therapies mentioned in Ayurveda, Shirodhara is the most famous and widely used therapy. It has amazing health benefits and is especially indicated for neurobehavioral and psychosomatic disorders. The aim of Shirodhara is to induce a relaxed state of awareness, which results in a dynamic psycho-somatic balance. A complete feeling of overall well-being, mental clarity and awareness is experienced in this process.
The client is asked to rest on a specially designed Ayurvedic bed called “Droni”. A medicated oil is slowly and steadily dripped on the forehead of the person. A special copper or brass pot called kumbha or patra with a hole in the bottom hangs from a tripod above the head of the client. This kumbha is filled with special ayurvedic therapeutic oil. The oil is warmed in a double boiler to a soothing warm temperature.
The Ayurvedic bed or Droni also has a significant role in shiordhara. Droni is made of special Ayurvedic medicinal wood that has antimicrobial properties. It has two compartments, the body and the head of the bed. The client's body rests in the main body compartment and the head and neck rest on the special head compartment. This helps the shirodhara oil to flow smoothly, without making the client's body wet.
The oil then drains through a hole in the droni and the therapist collects it in a container and warms it to a lukewarm temperature and reuses it for constant unobstructed flow for the duration of shirodhara.
In this relaxing therapy where warm medicated oils are poured onto the middle of the forehead in a thin stream in an oscillating manner, inducing a mental state of deep relaxation and melting away the chattering of the mind. The peaceful chanting mantra or vedic music helps to keep the client focused in the state of meditation and away from all the stressors.
Shirodhara Stress Treatment is one of the most relaxing and healing ayurvedic therapy available. Shirodhara treatment calms the overactive mind, reduces stress and irritability and improves sleep patterns
Shirodhara gives even better results when taken after an Abhyanga massage. The oils or liquids used for this treatment are specifically chosen according to your dominant energy, and body constitution type.
Most people have heard of or experienced the Shirodhara with ayurvedic oils. You will be pleased to know that, based on the dosha imbalance and various health conditions, Ayurveda has suggested various types of shirodhara.
In this procedure, the Ayurvedic practitioner uses different ayurvedic herbal oils as a medium. For example, Brahmi oil or sesame oil is used to control stress, depression and sleeplessness related to vata aggravation.
In this type of Shirodhara, cow’s milk is infused with ayurvedic herbs and used to treat various disorders as well as to relieve stress related to pitta aggravation. Milk is infused with herbs. Thus, it is also known as medicated milk.
Buttermilk infused with special ayurvedic herbs is poured on the forehead. This can be used in hypertension, hyperthyroidism and high pitta disorders.
This shirodhara is usually done with coconut water in specific health conditions.
A herbal decoction is poured on the forehead.
Is Shirodhara effective?
People who have used Shirodhara talk highly about its effectiveness, but at the same time, many researchers throughout the world are establishing research to understand how this simple therapy can be so effective in combating mental illnesses like paediatric attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Cerebellar ataxia, Psychological symptoms of Menopause, Premature ejaculation, generalised anxiety disorder and Insomnia. The following pictorial representation of a mode of action of shirodhara has been proven by modern scientists.

Shirodhara works on Ayurvedic principles of blanching doshas. Most of the neurological or mental and emotional health problems are related to vata aggravation. Vata has the qualities of air, which is highly mobile, cold and dry in nature, hence the warmth of the oil works against the cold, and oil works against the dry and relaxing process all together help to bring the grounding during this therapy that works against that racing and property of vata.
Shirodhara also works on the marma therapy. There are 107 marmas in our body. According to Ayurveda, marma is a vital energy point that ensures the smooth, unobstructed flow of prana, or the vital energy in the body. There are significantly important marma points on the forehead and head that are triggered during shirodhara.
Sthapani marma is the main marma where shirodhara works. It is called the third eye marma which is situated in the middle of the forehead, between two eyebrows. Some researchers believe that the “mid brain”, the most important part of the brain that is responsible for hormonal balance in the whole body, is situated exactly the line of the sthapani marma. When warm medicated oil is constantly poured over the sthapani marma, it eventually helps to unblock any hindered energy in this marma and hence essentially brings balance to the body.
Another concept of shirodhara effectiveness is on the level of Yogic Chakras. It stimulates the supreme Chakras; Ajna Chakra (third-eye chakra) and Sahasrara Chakra ( Crown chakra) which are both situated in the head region. These Chakras control all the vital energy in the body. Stimulation of these Chakras promotes ultimate mental peace.
Shirodhara treatment is not only considered effective in alleviating high Vata, mental stress and nervous tension, all of which are rampant in our modern society, but it feels utterly luxurious and nurturing, like a guilty pleasure that is actually good for you.
Regular use of Shirodhara Ayurveda treatment is meant to enhance circulation in the brain, improve memory, nourish the hair, provide sound sleep and calm the body and mind.
After an ayurvedic consultation, your ayurvedic practitioner can recommend shirodhara therapy in the following health conditions:
Shirodhara is usually done in the early morning hours. Ideally after the food has properly digested.

Ayurveda stads for extensive and elaborate clinical examination to understand thenature of the disease
I had an absolute life changing experience with Taking an Ayurvedic approach for coming out of my son’s eczema. We were struggling with eczema and other skin concerns for my 4 year old almost since his birth. Had tried all sorts of creams available in the market but every time the flareups were coming back . It is only until Someone recommended us Dr. Gurnam Saini and we were put on Ayurvedic healing path. In 4-5 months his eczema started going away; some stubborn eczema spots disappeared with no flareups, itchiness . I will highly recommend Ayurvedic holistic healing over western medicines.
Hi everyone, here am sharing my experience with Dr Saini, i have been suffering with stiffness and pain in joints and muscles for years. I had taken so many treatments but nothing work for me. Recently I’ve been seeing Dr.Saini and in only one month of treatment my pain and stiffness gone. He has done fantastic job. I strongly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic👍🏻
Three weeks after my first visit with Gurnam, I started noticing big differences in the symptoms that I was experiencing as a result of hormonal imbalance, anxiety & stress, sleeplessness, hair loss, diabetes and weight issues. The most noticeable change were my hot flushes. My constant hot flushes (approx every 20-30 minutes) were debilitating and driving me to the point where I was just not going out. I was constantly hot and not sleeping week at all. Within 3 weeks this changed to about 2 during the day and just general warmth overnight, which meant I was sleeping better and not having to get up and cool my face and wash my body before returning to bed. My anxiety levels have been reduced significantly, even though I have still been faced with stressful situations and the hair fall much less. The herbal tea that I make each morning and drink through the day keeps me full and is neutral tasting unlike other ‘tonics’ Ive tried before. I look forward to seeing Gurnam monthly to get my mix of Herbal treatments and feeling better with each visit. Thank you Gurnam 🙌🏽
I was suffering from headaches for the past 5-6 years which lasted more than a day. Sometimes it was so severe that I had nausea and vomiting. Tried a lot of medications but they did not help. Then I thought of trying Ayurveda as my last remedy. 2 months with Gurnam Saini and I have no headaches. My sleep has also improved. I’m still continuing to improve my overall health as the medicine seems to work for me. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to improve their overall health and well being.
Dearest Dr Gurnam, thank you many times over for your treatment I feel very balanced and cured. You have been kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable in what you do. I highly recommend Dr Gurnam and his work in Ayurveda.
I strongly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic to anyone who is looking into natural and organic health benefits. I consulted Ayurvedic Doctor Dr Gurnam Saini for hair loss treatment, as I had almost tried everything from expensive hair products to medicine for years and was highly disappointed. Dr Saini was very detailed and made me understand how lot of factors including my digestive fire, my sleep, my lifestyle etc. were directly impacting my hair health. I was highly impressed with his knowledge and his passion about getting me to understand the root cause. I clearly figured out how I was not in sync with my body. I am actually surprised that these organic ayurvedic medicines are very effective, as that was not my immediate expectation and I thought it will be a very lengthy process, but I was ready to give it a go! He also gave a me a specific ayurvedic organic hair oil to put on my scalp. It's been 3 months and I have almost completely stopped loosing hair and gaining more volume in my hair. I also found that taking shirodhara and nasya and head massage ayurvedic therapies of Dr Saini's recommendation was also important part of the treatment. I now feel more connected to my body and definitely my hair growth is visible to me and my family. Thank you Dr Gurnam Saini and Dr Pooja Saini (for those amazing therapies). You guys are working for a great cause.
Can't recommend highly enough. After 18 months of working with other health professionals (including doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors and osteopaths), I was finally able to heal my body with simple dietary and lifestyle changes recommended by Dr Saini. Ayurvedic approach tackles not only physical health but also emotional and spiritual, and the herbs and treatments are also tailored to your particular dosha (body type). After working with Dr Saini for a few months I did the Panchkarma cleanse, which I was very skeptical about, but I was amazed that this fixed my gut problems. The treatments during Panchkarma were actually quite amazing - Pooja is a miracle worker and so lovely. Dr Saini's knowledge and client base is very highly regarded in the industry, with other well-known Ayurvedic resorts using this clinic when in Melbourne. Highly recommend.
I have been under Dr Sainis treatment for backpain over 2 months.He is an empathetic sensitive and responsible Dr who gave careful directives and absolutely effective treatment to me as a patient.I could speak to him my issues confidently enough and he takes it for face value.I am completely fine now.I thought of my fears of my future and my job which was my sole income.I would love to say that I praise God and highly recommend Dr Saini as an effective practitioner for me and in Ayurveda.Thank you Dr Saini for everything that you have done to help me.
I saw Dr Saini in July 2019 for “acid reflux” after suffering of months. I tried different medicines but didn’t work. There was a time I started believing that there was no permanent cure to this disease. Dr Saini is an authentic Ayurvedic doctor. He can do miracles for you. I honestly believe he’s a blessing for the city of Melbourne otherwise it would have been very hard to physically see an Ayurvedic doctor like him. My heart burn got worst with the time & became just unbearable. I couldn’t eat anything or sleep at all. Finally, I found him via google and peoples reviews convinced me to give him a call. He’s an angel & listens everything. He gave me a three month’s plan which I completed happily. But unbelievably my acid reflux reduced 80% within three days & completely gone in five days & it never came back since then. I’m so happy & enjoying my life like I used to. God bless Dr Saini & God bless those who wrote reviews which convinced me to give him a call first time.
I started to get depressive mood and nightmares since diagnosed with varicocele and hydrocele. Specialist recommended me getting coil embolization to block the veins. I was hesitant with the idea of it and ignored his advice. I thought I would try with natural approach to deal with my health issues. After reading online I started to make healthy changes in my life-style and food regime e.g. avoiding inflammatory and junk food, energy drinks etc. Also reduced smoking and alcohol for 3 months. But my pain and swelling in the scrotal area did not improve. More over I started to get lack of libido, premature ejaculation and erectile difficulties. Due to that I started to remain frustrated and angry most of the time. My relationship with my family members, friends and partner started to get difficult. Finally came across Dr Saini ayurvedic medicine clinic in Melbourne. Had a detial consult with Dr Saini. His Ayurveda approach for varicocele and its related problem worked like magic for me. First month he modified my life-style and food, based on my ayurvedic makeup. He also introduced some his own blends of organic herbs and spices with daily breathing exercise. In second month I did panchakarma detoxification. Now there is no pain or swelling in my scrotal area. My manpower is back to normal (even better than earlier), having grounded emotions and sound sleep with best physical and mental health. I highly recommend everyone to follow ayurvedic life style and its natural way of healing your body. Dr Saini is best in his job.
Meeting Dr, Saini has been a blessing here in Melbourne. I've always believed in holistic health and I was looking for a practitioner who could not only treat some deficiencies but bring my health up to speed. Dr, Saini is an esteemed Doctor with years of experience in holistic healing globally. I had been in poor health this year however through Pachkarma and Pure herbal Ayurveda Clinic's treatments, there has been a transformation in my overall health, energy and spirit. Highly recommended if you want to transform your health holistically and want to get out of the rut of medications.
