Shirodhara"Shiro" refers to head and "Dhara" means flow. In Shirodhara, warm oils are poured rhythmically on the forehead and scalp, which are then massaged. It stimulates the pineal gland (upper endocrine gland according to Ayurveda) and balances hormones.Shirodhara also increases the release of melatonin, which in turn improves calmness, relaxation and insomnia [5]. This is highly recommended if stress is the main factor affecting hair loss.B. Shiro Abhyanga"Shiro" refers to head while Abhyanga refers to massage. It involves massaging the hair along with the neck and shoulders with Ayurvedic medicated oils. It nourishes the hair, relaxes the mind and relieves physical and mental tension.Shiro Abhyanga calms excessive Pitta Dosha while supporting hair follicles and nourishing nerve endings and sense organs. Oils like Brahmi Bringaraj Taila, Bringamalakadi Taila, coconut and sesame oil are commonly used for Shiro Abhyanga.3.
