Shirodhara is a unique form of ancient therapy of pouring oil on the
forehead from a specific height and for a specific period
continuously and rythmatically allowing the oil to run through the
scalp and into the hair. This is a subtype of Murdha taila
which means keeping the medicated oil on the head region. The types
of Murdha taila other than Shirodhara are Shiro Abhyanga, Pichu And
Shiro Basti. So the concept of shirodhara is mainly concerned with
the application of oil though the other liquids are also used for
the therapy but they are associated with specific clinical
conditions.
