Shiro Abhyanga Therapy?

What is Shiro Abhyanga?

Shiro Abhyanga is a traditional Ayurvedic head massage therapy, where “Shiro” means head and “Abhyanga” means massage. It involves the gentle, rhythmic application of warm herbal oils to the scalp, neck, shoulders, and sometimes the upper back. This therapy is designed to balance the nervous system, relax the mind, and nourish the senses.
This therapy is rooted in the Ayurvedic understanding that the head is the control center of the body, housing vital sense organs and the brain, and is the seat of prana (life force) and consciousness. Shiro Abhyanga is now embraced globally in wellness spas and integrative clinics due to its ability to reduce stress hormones, improve sleep patterns, and enhance scalp health naturally and holistically.
