Ayurveda - the “science of life” - applies ancient Indian wisdom to restore and maintain good health, based on the belief that wellness depends on a balance of five elements: space (or sky), air, fire, water, and earth. The five elements intermingle with each other in a definite proportion to form three distinct doshas i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Their balance in the body is required for healthy body, happy mind and for proper functioning of the sense organ. Because, all three types can be thrown off balance and produce ama (toxins). To stop this, we need a proper diet, an appropriate lifestyle, exercise and a cleansing programme such as panchakarma - that is, five therapeutic measures.

In Sanskrit language Shirodhara is composed of two words “Shiro” + “dhara”, shiro means head and dhara means flow. In Ayurveda pouring of a liquid such as decoction, medicated milk and its products, sugarcane juice, medicated oils, etc. on the forehead between the eye brows in a continuous stream for a specific period is called shirah-sheka. It is also known as sirodhara.

Modern lifestyles lead to poor health in many ways. However, the use of simple and natural methods can significantly improve health and vitality. Purification therapy is a unique feature of Ayurveda involving the complete cleansing of body and thereby eliminating vitiated doshas. The technique effectively treats doshic balances in their advanced stages. Vitiated doshas causing blocked channels in a system, which needs purification, approach.

In Ayurveda, rejuvenating therapy is the golden way to attain longevity, as it is aimed at the preservation of health. Ayurveda says that rasayana or rejuvenating therapy optimises the circulation of nutrients to both body and mind. Shirodhara eradicates the root cause of the disease and a rejuvenating therapy as well.
