Shirodhara: The Third-Eye Therapy That Melts Stress Instantly
At Chamundi Hill Palace Ayurveda Resort, we bring you a deeply calming Ayurvedic experience known as Shirodhara — an ancient oil therapy that has the power to calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and restore inner harmony.
🌿 What is Shirodhara?
Shirodhara is derived from the Sanskrit words Shiro (head) and Dhara (flow). In this powerful therapy, a gentle, continuous stream of warm, medicated oil is poured onto the forehead, specifically over the ‘third eye’ — the seat of intuition and consciousness.
This steady rhythm has been shown to slow down brainwave activity, mimicking the effects of deep meditation, and guiding the mind into a tranquil, alpha-dominant state.
