ANCS Shirodhara is an ayurvedic therapeutic procedure
The Shirodhara therapy is administered on a specially designed massage table. Above the table hangs a Shirodhara pot, a container for oil with a little hole at the base. A tiny built-in pit on the table collects extra oil that drips off the head during treatment.
To stimulate the head’s nerve endings, a gentle 10-minute head massage is given before receiving Shirodhara treatment.
After taking the necessary precautions, the traditional age-old Shirodhara treatment protocol that practitioners at Ayurvedic centres adhere to.
Lying faceup on the table is the first stage. To relieve tense muscles, keep your arms close to your body and breathe deeply. Use a pillow to support your neck so that the massage is comfortable for you.
The Shirodhara pot should be adjusted such that the oil covers your forehead from a height of 10 to 15 cm. Depending on the benefits you hope to obtain from the therapy, fill the pot with the oil of your choosing.
Breathe deeply, quiet your mind, and savour the calming sensation of the heated oil seeping into your scalp as it is applied to your overhead.
The Shirodhara pot then starts to move laterally, covering the forehead from left to right. After the pot is completely empty, fill it back up with the oil that has gathered in the pit. The oil needs to be warmed up to the ideal temperature for Shirodhara treatment if it’s chilly. For half an hour, the procedure is repeated with a light finger massage of the head. After wiping off extra oil from the forehead, the recipient is free to unwind or maybe take an hour-long nap.
- Deep relaxation: Shirodhara activates the parasympathetic nervous system ("rest and digest" mode), which promotes a state of deep calm and relaxation.
- Stress and anxiety relief: By lowering stress hormones like cortisol and calming the central nervous system, the therapy helps to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mental fatigue.
- Insomnia relief: The soothing, meditative effect of the oil stream helps quiet the mind, regulate the sleep cycle, and promote deeper, more restorative sleep.
- Enhanced mental clarity: Shirodhara can improve cognitive function, concentration, and memory by calming mental chatter and stimulating brain function.
- Mood stabilization: The therapy boosts mood-regulating hormones and neurotransmitters, which can help with emotional balance and conditions like depression.

Clear filters- Mount the Pot: Use the included SS chains and 'S' hook to hang the pot from a dedicated Shirodhara Stand or a secure ceiling hook.
- Positioning: Align the pot directly above the center of the patient's forehead (the "third eye" or ajna chakra).
- Adjust Height: The nozzle should ideally be at a height of 10 to 15 cm (or approximately 2–3 inches) above the forehead.
- Preparing the Treatment Patient Prep: The patient lies face-up on a therapy table. Use a bolster or small pillow to support the neck.
- Safety Measures: Place cotton pads or a damp cloth over the eyes to prevent oil from entering them. A headband (varti) can be tied around the hairline to guide oil flow away from the face.
- Heat the Liquid: Warm the medicated oil (often sesame-based), milk, or herbal decoction to body temperature (approx. 37°C).
- Fill the Pot: Pour the warmed liquid into the 2.0-liter vessel.
- Regulate Flow: Use the oil flow control valve to adjust the stream. Open the valve slowly until a steady, continuous drip or thin stream emerges from the brass nozzle.
- Calibration: A standard flow rate should discharge approximately 100 ml in 16–17 seconds for optimal consistency.
- Movement: Rhythmically move the pot or the stream laterally across the forehead from temple to temple.
- Recirculation: As oil collects in the basin below, it is traditionally filtered, reheated, and poured back into the pot to maintain a continuous session (usually 30–60 minutes).
- Immediate Wash: After each use, wash the pot with warm water and mild soap to prevent oil buildup.
- Brass Nozzle Care: To restore the shine of the brass nozzle, rub it with a paste of lemon and salt or tamarind pulp, then rinse and dry completely.
- Dry Storage: Always wipe the SS pot and brass components dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and oxidation before storing in a dry environment.

I purchased this for an Ayurveda centre. It is easy to clean, and the knob works perfectly for adjusting the flow. Moreover, its quality is quite robust.
