Client receiving a Shirodhara treatment of warm oil on the forehead at Starling Holistic in Arborfield near Reading
Blissfully relaxing oil treatment to bring inner peace to a busy mind. Discover Ayurveda's signature treatment. 
Shirodhara, from the Sanskrit words Shiro (head) and Dhara (flow), is a unique treatment undertaken laying down on a massage table with eyes covered. Warm, herb-infused Ayurvedic oil is gently and steadily poured over the forehead and scalp in a continuous, delicate stream. The rhythmic and gentle flow elicits the sensation of deep rest and inner peace. Clients often experience a meditative state during Shirodhara and feel blissfully relaxed afterwards.
 
Highly effective for people experiencing imbalances in Vata (air and space) and Pitta (fire and water), especially conditions that manifests in the mind and nervous system such as busy mind, difficulty focusing, anxiety, irritability, stress, and fatigue. This emotionally cleansing treatment is also useful for high blood pressure, addictions, hair loss, disturbed sleep and chronic insomnia. Discover the amazing benefits of Shirodhara.

• ​ It’s best to have your Shirodhara oil treatment earlier in the day if possible, as it’s recommended you stay awake for at least three hours post-treatment.

• ​ To make the most out of your treatment, I will advise you on herbal remedies to take a few days before and after your treatment. I'd recommend booking 7-10 days in advance.

• ​ The treatment may need to be postponed if you are grieving or experiencing certain health conditions such as rash or sunburn on the forehead or scalp, cold, fever, fatigue, nausea, menstruation, or pregnancy. Once your completed questionnaire has been received, we can decide whether it’s best to postpone.
 
• ​ ​Hair will be oily after treatment so you may wish to bring an old scarf or hat to cover the head on your journey home. Avoid wind and sun after the treatment. I will recommend that you wash your hair when you get home.
