In today’s fast-moving world, mental exhaustion, anxiety, and emotional overload have become far too common. Ancient Ayurvedic therapies offer powerful solutions to modern stress—and one of the most effective among them is Shirodhara for mental relaxation.
🌿 What is Shirodhara?
Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic treatment in which a steady stream of warm herbal oil is gently poured over the forehead, specifically on the “third eye” region (Ajna Chakra). This continuous flow calms the mind, soothes the nervous system, and triggers a deep meditative state.
Regular sessions of Shirodhara for mental relaxation can help:
- Reduce chronic stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep patterns
- Balance mood and mental clarity
- Ease symptoms of fatigue and burnout
At Bliss Healing Centre in Melbourne, we offer authentic Shirodhara treatments using herbal oils tailored to your dosha (body-mind type), along with calming music and a peaceful environment that enhances your healing experience.

🧠 Backed by Ancient Wisdom
Shirodhara has been practiced for thousands of years in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. It is mentioned in classic texts such as the Charaka Samhita for its ability to pacify Vata dosha and support mental equilibrium.
