Shirodhara
Postpartum Abhyanga with Womb Massage |
Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy. Warm oil pours in a continuous stream over the forehead, an area where nerves are highly concentrated. The pressure of the oil creates a vibration as it saturates the forehead and scalp and penetrates into the nervous system. The gentle pressure and soothing warmth of the oil allow the body, mind and nervous system to experience a deep state of rest, similar to meditation. Shirodhara is a great treatment for a compromised nervous system, and can help relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, fatigue, and hypertension. It can relieve tension, worry, fear, and headaches, as well as depression. Shirodhara can assist in regulating mood and gives feelings of pleasure and relaxation. Available as part of a package only, please see main services page for details |
