As the earth awakens from the stillness of winter, spring emerges with a surge of energy, inviting renewal, growth, and detoxification.

With this seasonal shift, our bodies naturally hold onto mucus, toxins, and sluggishness, making us more susceptible to colds, allergies, and fatigue.

Shirodhara is a profound Ayurvedic therapy that has been practiced for thousands of years as a means of promoting holistic healing, mental clarity, and deep relaxation. The word "Shirodhara" comes from the Sanskrit terms "Shiro" (head) and "Dhara" (flow). It involves the continuous pouring of warm, herbalized oil over the forehead, specifically targeting the third eye or Ajna chakra. This ancient technique is celebrated not only for its therapeutic benefits but also for its deeply meditative and transformative qualities.
