Types of Shirodhara
- Taila Dhara (Oil Shirodhara): This is the most common form, using herbal oils specific to the individual’s dosha. Taila Dhara is particularly effective for calming Vata-related conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and joint pain.
- Ksheera Dhara (Milk Shirodhara): In this form, milk infused with herbs is used instead of oil, suitable for conditions related to Pitta imbalance. It is ideal for skin conditions, inflammation, and improving mental calmness.
- Takra Dhara (Buttermilk Shirodhara): Buttermilk is used for this type of Shirodhara, which is particularly beneficial for Pitta and Kapha imbalances. It’s often recommended for migraines, stress, and certain skin conditions like psoriasis.
- Jaladhara (Water Shirodhara): In Jaladhara, herbal water is poured over the forehead, typically used when oil or other liquids are contraindicated, and for general relaxation and mental clarity.
