Shirodhara is derived from two sankskrit words shiro means head and dhara means to flow. It involves the warm and consistent flow of aromatic oils on the forehead, specifically on the third eye. This is the chakra point just above and between the eyebrows and is said to be the seat of the human consciousness. The oil flows over the scalp and through the hair, creating a blissful sensation. Different types of liquids can be used in shirodhara depending upon what is being treated. There are specialized forms of shirodhara such as ksheerdhara, Takradhara, taildhara and jaladhara. It can include oil, milk, buttermilk, coconut water or even plain water.
