Featured Treatment - Shirodhara
Fri Nov 27 2009
Although this treatment is deeply relaxing and feels magnificent to receive, Shirodhara has many therapeutic affects. It is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy used to treat numerous ailments on both physical and mental levels. If you suffer from a hyperactive mind, stress, anxiety, insomnia, hormonal imbalance, Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), headaches or depression, Shirodhara will benefit you. Warm medicated oil is continuously poured over the forehead which stabilises the pituitary and pineal glands, the two master glands of the endocrine system. This allows your body's natural healing mechanisms to release stress and impurities from the nervous system. When deep relaxation is achieved, the subtle "imprints" of imbalance or disease are also released. By calming the subtle aspects of the doshas in the region of the head, this therapy promotes mental rejuvenation.
As Ayurveda and its therapies are gaining greater recognition and popularity in the west, these treatments are offered at many spas, retreats and wellness centers in Australia. Like any other major wellbeing therapy, if the preparations for the treatment are not done properly, the procedure can be counter productive. It is important to receive this treatment from an experienced therapist who has been properly trained.
At Back2Health we administer this treatment in the authentic procedure. Clients achieve clarity, stability and calmness with the help of Shirodhara.
