Discover the Healing Power of Shirodhara, Basti, and Nasya: A Journey to Deep Relaxation and Rejuvenation




In our fast-paced world, finding moments of stillness and deep relaxation is essential for maintaining balance and well-being. We offer a unique and transformative experience where you can immerse yourself in ancient Ayurvedic practices designed to bring you into a state of profound peace and rejuvenation. This special treatment includes Shirodhara, optional ear and eye basti, and Nasya, offering a comprehensive approach to holistic healing.


What is Shirodhara?

Shirodhara is a classical Ayurvedic therapy known for its deeply calming effects on the nervous system. During the treatment, a steady stream of warm, organic, sesame oil is poured over your forehead (the “third eye” area), inducing a state of relaxation that calms the mind and soothes the senses. This therapy is particularly effective in reducing stress, anxiety, and insomnia, promoting mental clarity, and enhancing emotional stability. The entire process takes about 45 minutes, during which you'll be gently guided into a meditative state, allowing your body and mind to unwind completely.


The Benefits of Shirodhara

  • Deep Relaxation: Shirodhara is known to bring about a deep state of relaxation, helping to release accumulated stress and tension.

  • Improved Sleep: Regular Shirodhara sessions can significantly improve the quality of your sleep, making it a powerful remedy for insomnia.

  • Enhanced Mental Clarity: By calming the mind, Shirodhara enhances mental clarity and focus, helping you navigate daily challenges with ease.

  • Emotional Balance: The soothing effects of Shirodhara can help balance emotions, making it an excellent therapy for those dealing with anxiety or depression.


Enhancing the Experience: Ear and Eye Basti

In addition to Shirodhara, a session includes the option of ear and eye basti treatments. These traditional Ayurvedic therapies involve the application of warm medicated oils to the ears and eyes, respectively.

  • Ear Basti: This treatment helps in relieving tension from the jaw, neck, and shoulders, and is particularly beneficial for those who experience headaches, earaches, or tinnitus.

  • Eye Basti: Ideal for reducing eye strain, dryness, and improving vision, eye basti nourishes the eyes, leaving them feeling refreshed and revitalized.


Nasya: Clearing the Pathways

Nasya is another optional treatment offered during our Shirodhara sessions. This Ayurvedic therapy involves the administration of herbal oils through the nasal passages, which helps in clearing the sinuses, improving respiratory function, and enhancing mental clarity. Nasya is particularly beneficial during seasonal transitions when allergies and sinus issues are more common.


Take the Experience Home

As part of our Shirodhara session, you'll leave with a jar of the organic sesame oil used during your session. This oil is perfect for self-abhyanga, a practice of self-massage that you can perform at home. Abhyanga is a wonderful way to continue the relaxation and healing benefits of your session, nourishing your skin, calming your nervous system, and grounding your energy.


How to Book Your Session

Our Sirodhara sessions are available by appointment and are designed to provide you with personalized care and a deeply relaxing experience. Each session lasts about 45 minutes and is priced at $100. We invite you to take this opportunity to experience the profound benefits of these ancient Ayurvedic therapies and walk away with a sense of deep calm and rejuvenation.
