Shirodara
is a form of ayurvedic treatment that involves gently pouring fluid on
the forehead between the eyebrows, or the third eye. It is one of the
five actions prescribed by panchkarma, and is used for a variety
purposes, from general relaxation and the relieving of stress, to
cleansing the body of toxins and specific imbalances treating conditions
like sinusitus, insomnia, tinnitius etc. There are particular fluids
prescribed for each of its diverse applications including oil, milk,
buttermilk, coconut water, or even plain water. These fluids and their
formulations are chosen according to their unique effects and the
specific activities desired. This particular formulation of shirodara
oil is a singular blend of the most potent herbs for the dilation of the
nerves and subtle passages, the removal of toxins, and the balancing of
the mind. It is a tridoshic composition aimed to bring about deep peace
and relaxation through a thorough cleansing and opening process that is
suitable for every constitution.
This
shirodara oil combines four titans of ayurvedic herbal medicine in a
medium of sesame and sunflower oil. First among these is bringaraj whose
uncommonly potent blood cleansing, nerve calming, and anti-aging
effects earn it the right to be one of the four pillars of this classic
composition. Bringaraj is sweet and cooling in effect with a slight
bitter taste. It directs these qualities at the blood to both cleanse
and balance it and its related tissues. It enlivens the senses,
revitalizing the digestive power of the mind and the sense organs to
give them new clarity, while working to calm pitta by cooling
hyper-active and agitated thoughts. It penetrates the skin easily to
draw out toxins and reduce inflammation.
The
pair of brahmi and ashwagandha is the next to be added to augment and
complement the potencies of bringaraj. These two are both relaxing to
the nerves and revitalizing the body and mind. Brahmi, being known as
the bestower of universal knowledge, holds a unique place in ayurvedic
medicine of the mind. It is perhaps the most powerful tonic for the
mind. It regenerates brain tissue, opens up and rejuvenates the nerve
and subtle channels, and counteracts the effects of aging and senility
bringing fresh clarity and strength to thoughts and the memory. It works
to bring balance to the hemispheres of the brain and awakens the crown
chakra, aiding in concentration and all cognitive functions. Its cooling
and sweet energies calm pitta and in combination with aswagandha it
grounds and concentrates the dissipated energy of a vitiated vata,
working to bring balance and calm to the mind and nerves.
Finally,
skullcap is included for its powerful cleansing and nerve calming
properties. It is bitter and cooling in effect, and penetrates the skin
to open passageways and remove toxins held in by the constrictions of
stress, anger, and anxiety. It calms the muscles and helps this
combination of herbs restore balanced and natural function to the
nerves, treating conditions such as muscle spasms, tremors, convulsions
and even epilepsy. It soothes the blood and mitigates many other
contributing factors of hyper-tension and chronic head-aches, and
generally supports the mind balancing and nerve calming effects of the
other herbs.
These
four are blended in a base of sesame and sunflower oil. Sesame oil is
regarded as one of the most sattvic oils in ayurvedic medicine as it is
both grounding to an erratic vata, and simultaneously supportive of the
generation of subtle tissues. It is rich in vitamins and minerals such
as vitamin E and calcium which are purifying to the skin and blood, and
supportive of the bones and muscles. Its complete blend of vitamins and
minerals support the skin, immune, nervous, and circulatory systems, and
help to fight stress and migraines. Both sesame and sunflower oil are
warming and moisturizing to the skin, aiding in general rejuvenation and
the reception of the infused herbs.
This
classic shirodara oil is a powerfully soothing and revitalizing blend
of the best rejuvenative herbs for the mind, nerves, and blood. It
cleanses the mind and body while restoring balance, calm, and bringing a
deep sense of well-being to the patient. It is a great treatment for
any pitta or vata related mental, psychological, and physiological
imbalance because it cools and purifies the blood and centers the mind
and nerves.
