Description

Shiro Dhawana is a traditional Ayurvedic head wash treatment that involves gently cleansing the scalp and hair with warm herbal decoctions and medicated liquids. This therapy is designed to refresh the mind, detoxify the scalp, and prepare the head for other Ayurvedic treatments such as Shirodhara or head massage.

The procedure includes:

• Pouring lukewarm herbal infusions (such as neem, hibiscus, triphala, or shikakai) over the scalp
• Mild scalp massage to loosen dirt, oils, and stress
• Gentle rinse and natural drying to leave the scalp cool and refreshed

Benefits:

• Cleanses the scalp without harsh chemicals
• Soothes the mind and reduces heat (Pitta)
• Helps control dandruff, itching, and excess oil
• Prepares scalp for better absorption of medicated oils
• Promotes clarity, calmness, and hair freshness

Shiro Dhawana is ideal as a standalone relaxing ritual or as a pre-treatment for other Ayurvedic therapies. It’s perfect for people looking for natural scalp care, especially in hot or humid climates.
