What Is Shirodhara?
Shirodhara means "the flowing of oil like a thread (dhara)
on the head (shiro)". This treatment allows warm oil to flow
in a steady stream on the third eye (6th chakra) located on
the forehead and over the top of the head (crown chakra).
Shirodhara rejuvenates both the mind and the senses, which
allows the body's natural healing mechanisms to release
stress from the nervous system and improve mental clarity
and comprehension. Shirodhara is a profound mind-melting,
sacred treatment using medicinal ayurvedic oils, sometimes
followed or preceded by massage. The type of shirodhara
therapy taught in this book is suitable as a stand alone
service, or combined with other treatments such as body
wraps, salt glows, massage, dry brushing or steam therapy.
Usually given for twenty minutes, three to four times during
a seven-day treatment period, shirodhara uses oils, butters
and milks made with special herbs that calm and nourish the
nervous system. The technician administers the liquid in a
thin stream which flows from a copper vessel hung
approximately 6-8 inches above the patient's forehead. This
therapy takes about one hour. The actual flow of oil takes
between 20-40 minutes. The therapist can charge between
$108-$150 per session.

shirodhara very practical and comprehensive, without
overwhelming students with too much Sanskrit terminology.
The DVD and manual are very comprehensive and simple to
