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. Students have access to Student Central for the term of one (1) year to complete your course, or one (1) year from the last course you enrolled in. You may apply for an extension any time during your course. Extension requests must be completed before your one (1) year term has expired, otherwise, a re-enroll fee of $25.00 will be required. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great training
seminar you provided for my staff. Your combination of open discussion along
with reading through the instructional manual was terrific. It keeps the
students engaged in the training and anxious to learn. The hands on
demonstration was well orchestrated and really showed the depth of knowledge you
have in your field. Everyone one who attended the training commented on what a
great class it was and that you are a terrific instructor. We look forward to
having you back in the near future for additional seminars and training courses.
Thanks again for making it such a great experience in adding the additional
treatment option for our guests.
Sincerely, Pamela

Karyn makes shirodhara very practical and comprehensive, without overwhelming students with too much Sanskrit terminology. The DVD and manual are very comprehensive and simple to follow, although the equipment being used in the DVD is different from our equipment now.
