Is Shirodhara suitable for everyone?

While Shirodhara is generally safe for most people, it's essential to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic doctor, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or concerns. They can assess your health profile and determine whether Shirodhara is suitable for you. Pregnant women, individuals with certain medical conditions like epilepsy, and those with acute illnesses may need to avoid or modify Shirodhara.

How often can I undergo Shirodhara therapy?

The frequency of Shirodhara sessions depends on various factors, including your health goals, current health status, and the recommendations of your Ayurvedic practitioner. Typically, Shirodhara is administered as a series of treatments, often spaced a few days to a week apart. Your doctor will personalize the treatment plan based on your response to the therapy and your ongoing health needs.

What type of oil or any other liquid is used in Shirodhara?

The choice of liquid used in Shirodhara depends on several factors, including your constitution (dosha and prakriti), specific health concerns, and the therapeutic goals of the treatment. While herbal oils are commonly used for their nourishing and calming properties, other liquids such as medicated milk, or buttermilk may be selected based on your individual needs. Your doctor will select the most appropriate liquid and any additional herbs or ingredients to enhance the therapeutic effects.

Does Shirodhara have any side effects?

While Shirodhara is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as temporary dizziness, lightheadedness, or nausea during or after the session. These effects are usually short-lived and tend to dissipate as the body adjusts to the treatment

How long does a Shirodhara session last?

Shirodhara sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, although the duration may vary depending on individual preferences and the specific protocol recommended by your practitioner. The length of the session allows ample time for the therapeutic effects of the treatment to unfold, promoting deep relaxation, stress reduction, and rejuvenation of the mind and body.
