Shirodhara
 
Shirodhara is a classical Ayurvedic therapy that involves gently pouring a continuous stream of warm, medicated oil, herbal decoctions, or other liquids (such as milk, buttermilk, or coconut water) onto the forehead to induce relaxation and balance the mind and body. Shirodhara is Ayurveda’s approach to stress relief.
 
The term "shirodhara" comes from the Sanskrit words "shiro" (meaning head) and "dhara" (meaning flow or stream).
 
Shirodhara induces deep relaxation, helps reduce stress and anxiety, improves sleep quality, and calms the nervous system. It also nourishes the sense organs, strengthens the hair, and improves facial skin and glow.
 
Kati Basti
 
Kati Basti is an intensely soothing, deep tissue treatment therapy where a generous quantity of warm, herbal medicated oil is retained on your lower back to relieve pain, stiffness, and inflammation. The benefits of Kati Basti come from the combination of heat to heal (increasing blood flow and reducing swelling) and herbal oils to repair tissue.
 
In Sanskrit, 'Kati' means the lower back, and 'Basti' means retaining something inside.
 
Kati Basti is an Ayurvedic oil pooling therapy for acute lower back pain and musculoskeletal issues. It helps in regulating Vata dosha (the movement of wind in the body), strengthening and nourishing nerves and muscles.
