Shirodhara Head Massage -Add on
For relaxation, sleep, anxiety, chronic stress and nervous system disorders,
Service Description
Shirodhara primarily influences the central nervous system, particularly the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and autonomic nervous system. The forehead or Third Eye region has a high concentration of nerve endings and is linked to the pineal gland, which regulates melatonin production—the hormone responsible for sleep. Recommended 5 to 14 day course for best results. The continuous stream of warm oil activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline) and promoting relaxation. The gentle oil flow induces a meditative state similar to the effects of deep meditation and yoga, lowering brainwave activity from beta (active) to alpha (relaxed state). Shirodhara is a natural and effective therapy for insomnia and sleep disturbances, working by regulating melatonin and calming the nervous system. This is available as an add-on with other massages.
