Shirodhara, derived from Ayurvedic medicine, offers the most powerful direct method for treating many central nervous system disorders. It can be used for conditions ranging from insomnia, anxiety disorders to mania and schizophrenia or simply to achieve a deep state of relaxation. The patient lies on a specially designed table and herbal medicated sesame oil is slowly poured onto the forehead. Shirodhara forms a perfect adjunct to any health practice including herbal medicine, western medical practice, acupuncture and therapeutic massage.
