Details

Shirodhara is an Ayurvedic practice that involves gently pouring oil over the forehead and through the hair. This peaceful treatment can comfort body and mind.

Offer the rejuvenating benefits of shirodhara treatments at your spa with ESS Aromatherapy's Shirodhara Oil. Specially formulated with sesame and sunflower carrier oils, this soothing blend contains lavender essential oil to further enhance relaxation. 

 
Usage

Before performing a shirodhara treatment, warm 2 to 8 cups of Shirodhara Oil to 98 to 104°.

The shirokarma treatment incorporates about 10-15 minutes of shirodhara in a 90-minute treatment. The amount of oil used depends on the flow. We suggest using 150 mL oil (5 fl. oz.) in 10-15 minutes, but with a higher flow rate, you could easily double it. 

A full shirodhara treatment would use about 2 liters (half a gallon or about 8 cups).



Ingredients

Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) Root Extract, Sida Cordifolia (Bala) Root Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil

Shirodhara oil

I love this oil. Smells fantastic. Like lavender/very relaxing. I use it for Indian lymphatic system massage because it helps push lymphatic fluids through the tissues of the body in addition to the light pressure of the massage.

Leaves the hair so soft

As part of our Shirodara spa service, the warm oil hitting the 3rd eye and running into the hair is soothing and leaves the mind in peace. Oil is then massaged into the scalp and hair. After washing, the hair is shiny and soft for days.

Itchy scalp! Dandruff- smells rancid

I have tried using this oil on my scalp, it’s nothing the best for African American hair. It made my hair stiff, itchy, and lots of dandruff’s. I will try warming the oil next time to see if it will be better. I am afraid to use on clients and have the same effect.

Shirodhara oil

This Trifala oil is great for doing Ayurvedic oil drip treatments as well as Abhyanga lymphatic system detox. It has a much better smell with the addition of lavender essential oil. Most shirodhara oils don’t smell as good as this one.

So you use half a gallon of oil per treatment? So this bottle of oil (that’s over $100) would only do two treatments?? Is that correct?

Hi Lori,



Great question! This is one of those that can be hard to answer. Short answer, yes, if you do a full 90 minute using 8 cups it would go very quickly.



However, you could use 2 cups at a slower flow or only only do a 30 minute treatment.



Here is great article on the types of treatments it can be incorporated in to.
