Shirodhara
In this treatment warm herbal oil softly falls on the third eye chakra (that directly correlates to the Pineal gland) which sits between your brows and is connected to your spirituality, the oil saturates the forehead and scalp and penetrates into the nervous system. The pressure of the oil creates a vibration internally which induces a calming effect similar to that obtained with meditation.
The vibration is amplified by the hollow sinus present in the frontal bone. The vibration is then transmitted inwards through the fluid medium of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This vibration along with warm temperature may activate the functions of thalamus, pineal gland and the basal fore brain which then brings the amount of serotonin and catecholamine to the normal stage inducing a calming effect and sleep.
