Description
Ksheerdhara is a restorative and deeply calming Ayurvedic therapy in which lukewarm, medicated milk (often infused with herbs like sandalwood, turmeric, or vetiver) is poured in a continuous stream over the forehead and scalp.

This therapy is especially beneficial for:
- Reducing mental stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue
- Relieving insomnia, tension, and headaches
- Calming the nervous system and balancing Vata and Pitta doshas
- Cooling the body and soothing skin conditions like rashes or inflammation
- Promoting mental clarity, serenity, and inner peace
What It Includes:
- Gentle head and shoulder massage with herbal oils
- Continuous flow of medicated milk on the forehead (Ajna chakra)
- Quiet rest period post-therapy to absorb the full effects
Ksheerdhara is ideal for individuals experiencing burnout, mood swings, or those who want to indulge in a luxurious calming ritual that supports both mental and physical harmony.
