Ksheeradhara

Fomentation therapy with medicated milk

Ksheerdhara is a therapeutic procedure in Ayurveda that involves pouring medicated milk or other dairy-based liquids onto the forehead to induce a state of consciousness and promote psycho-somatic equilibrium.

This cleansing and rejuvenating therapy aims to purge toxins and alleviate mental fatigue, stress, and adverse impacts on the central nervous system.

Ksheerdhara falls under the category of Murdha taila, which involves the application of medicated oils specifically to the head region. It targets conditions like insomnia, stress, anxiety, depression, hair loss, fatigue, and various disorders. The therapy’s effects encompass neurological, immunological, physiological, and psychological aspects. At Apollo AyurVAID, proficient Ayurvedic physicians and therapists efficiently administer this traditional practice, ensuring safety and efficacy. Ksheerdhara transcends physical healing and offers a holistic journey toward inner equilibrium and overall well-being.
