Kshir-dhara : A Unique Rejuvenation Therapy

Treatment in brief

 

Like Shirodhara but instead of medicated oil, milk is used processed with herbs according to the condition of the patient and the desired effect.

This treatment is very effective for Pitta constitution, insomnia, headaches, burning sensation, hair loss and psychiatric disorders.

Kshirdhara regulates and stabilises heat which is trapped, specifically in the hypothalamus (Sadhaka Pitta), meninges and cerebrospinal fluid (Tarpaka Kapha) through its cooling effect.
