Shirovasti is a specialized treatment where a cylindrical leather cap is fitted on your head and warm medicated oil is poured into it, allowing the oil to remain in contact with your scalp for an extended period. The oil penetrates deeply into the scalp tissues.
This therapy is particularly effective for conditions affecting the head, face, and nervous system. The prolonged oil contact allows deep penetration of herbal medicines through the scalp into the brain and nervous system tissues.
