Shiroabhyangam!
 

The head has many marma’s, or vital energy centres, and is a reflection of the entire body, thus relieving tension and rebalancing from head to toe. Ayurvedic Head Massage (or Shirobhyanga) promotes rejuvenation to the whole being. The practice helps relieve insomnia, headaches and stress related disorders while boosting the immune system. This massage blissfully relaxes and balances mind body and spirit.

Shirobhyanga restores balance and harmony of the three higher Chakras – Vishuddha (the base of the throat), Ajna (the forehead/third eye) and Sahasrara (the crown or thousand petal lotus chakra). This therapy has been known to result in clearer vision, both physical and intuitive as well as improved concentration as it increases the brain's pranic life force or physiologically speaking, the oxygen in the brain is increased.

Traditional Ayurvedic head massage using specific herbal oils with specialized gentle deep strokes and pressure on various marma points, balances the doshas, and offers relief from hair and scalp problems, strengthens hair roots and after a series of massages, promotes lustre and health to the hair and scalp. Additionally the massage helps to improve the function of the five senses, and the nervous system which improves blood circulation and helps with detoxification of the body and negative sense impressions. Shirobhyanga reduces stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and relieves musculoskeletal tension.
