Sirodhara
This would have to be the most deeply relaxing treatment you could ever experience. Sirodhara is a modern purification and rejuvenation therapy based on an ancient Indian technique. A stream of warm medicated oil is poured very slowly onto the centre of the forehead (the location of the “third eye”) for about 30-45 minutes followed by a gentle scalp massage & reflexology. The effect isindescribable!
According to Ayurveda, Sirodhara deeply relaxes the nervous system, lowers metabolism, integrates brain function and creates brain wave coherence and an alpha state. When the brain is under stress, the circulation in cerebrum is compromised. As oil is poured on the forehead, the nervous system is deeply stilled. The brain waves slow down and become coherent. Once the brain is quieted, more life energy and oxygen and other nutrients flow more freely to the brain. The result: better brain function, mood stability and improved stress handling ability. With each successive Shirodhara treatment, the mind systematically achieves an even deeper state of silence and more healing takes place. Regular treatments are said to increase blood circulation to the brain, improve memory, nourish the hair and scalp, encourage sound sleep and calm body and mind.
Also, sirodhara is very beneficial to balance anxiety, anger, panic attacks, depression, sleep problems, chronic headaches, migraines, rheumatism, hypertension, asthma, ear-nose-throat conditions, hair loss and many neurological disorders.

AYURVEDIC AND LIFE-STYLE CONSULTATIONS
Ayurvedic and lifestyle consultations are a necessity for everyone, not just people with poor health. Those who are already enjoying good health will want to make sure that their good health lasts a lifetime, so our experienced Ayurvedic doctors will be able to advise them on the right diet and lifestyle in order to maintain vibrant health all the way into old age.
Those seeking to find a solution for their health problems will be treated in a holistic manner integrating physical, emotional and psychological treatments and practices.
During a consultation an Ayurvedic doctor will ask you a number of questions to ascertain your body type (Dosha) and determine how balanced or unbalanced your body is. Consultations are then followed by personalized advice on diet, nutrition, lifestyle, exercise, herbal remedies and the natural therapy treatments required to achieve harmony of body, mind and spirit and thereby, optimal health.
If you have a particular health concern, it is important to get to the root of the problem and determine the underlying causes. Therefore, you may be asked about your present and past illnesses and treatments, your personal history including diet and lifestyle, and information about your social and family background.
In order to assess your state of health, different techniques such as pulse, tongue and eye diagnosis as well as face, lip and nail examinations may beutilized. Based on the findings, you will be given a personalised, holistic regimen to follow which may involve simple dietary changes, yoga/exercises, breathing techniques, Ayurvedic herbal remedies and other self-care practices. If necessary, a specific detoxification program will be recommended such asAyurvedic Therapeutic Massage, SirodharaOil Treatment, and/orPanchakarmaDetoxification. This will be followed by a program designed to rebuild your body’s strength and immunity.
