In brief

Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic treatment in which warm medicated oil is poured in a steady stream over the forehead. At Shree Skin & Hair Clinic on Senapati Bapat Road, Pune, a sitting lasts 45 minutes and is given daily, on the advice of Dr. Nileema Shisode, M.D. (Ayurved), to calm the mind, help sleep and care for the hair.

What Shirodhara is given for

  • Mental stress and a restless mind
  • Poor sleep
  • Hair health and hair fall

What happens in a sitting

  1. You lie on your back on the treatment table
  2. Warm oil flows from a vessel hung above the forehead, in a slow steady stream, and is moved gently from side to side
  3. The stream continues for about 45 minutes
  4. The oil is wiped off and you rest for a short while

Before and after

Come with clean, dry hair and wear clothes that you do not mind getting oil on. Afterwards keep your head covered and out of cold wind, and wash your hair only when the doctor has said to.

When Shirodhara is not advised

It is postponed during a fever, a cold or a scalp infection. People with a recent head or neck injury should tell the doctor first. Shirodhara supports sleep and calm; it does not replace treatment for depression or another illness that needs a physician.
