Shirodhara Therapy in Melbourne is one of Ayurveda’s most profound healing therapies. It involves the gentle pouring of warm herbal oil (or medicated liquids) in a continuous stream over the forehead—specifically on the Ajna Chakra, also known as the third-eye point.
This soothing flow deeply relaxes the nervous system, stabilises the mind, balances emotions, and induces a meditative state. It is widely used in Ayurveda to treat stress, anxiety, insomnia, and mental fatigue.
Shirodhara literally means “Shira” (head) + “Dhara” (flow) — the therapeutic flow of healing energy.
How Shirodhara Calms the Mind
1. Activates the Third Eye Chakra
The forehead point is connected to intuition, mental clarity, and emotional harmony. The warm flow stimulates this chakra and promotes psychological balance.
2. Relaxes the Overactive Mind
Shirodhara slows down mental chatter, reduces overthinking, and brings you into a calm, meditative state.
3. Balances the Nervous System
The therapy works directly on the hypothalamus, triggering deep relaxation and reducing stress hormones like cortisol.
4. Supports Better Sleep & Emotional Stability
People who undergo Shirodhara often experience improved sleep patterns, fewer headaches, and a lighter emotional state.
