About the workshop
Shiro Dhara is a form of Ayurvedic Therapy that involves gently pouring herbalized liquids, such as oils, buttermilk, coconut milk, milk, plain water, herbal decoction etc., over the forehead (the ‘third eye’). It was developed by Vaidyas (Practitioners of Ayurveda) in India, for use in Sukha Chikitsa (restorative therapy) and can be one of the steps involved in Panchakarma.
