Shiro Vasti (Ayurvedic Head Therapy)
At Lifestyle Ayurveda, we specialize in authentic Shiro Vasti (Ayurvedic Head Therapy), an ancient treatment rooted in the principles of Ayurveda. Shiro Vasti involves gently pouring warm herbal oils over the head, designed to restore balance, enhance overall well-being, and rejuvenate both mind and body.
Our team of experienced Ayurvedic doctors and therapists ensures that each session is personalized according to your body type (Prakriti) and specific health needs.
What is Shiro Vasti?
Shiro Vasti is a highly revered Ayurvedic therapy, practiced for centuries in India. The term “Shiro Vasti” refers to a specialized treatment where warm herbal oils are gently poured and retained on the head in a continuous manner. This therapy helps stimulate circulation, nourish the scalp and hair, balance the mind, and harmonize the body’s energy channels (doshas).
Shiro Vasti is more than just a head treatment; it is a therapeutic procedure that promotes health at physical, mental, and emotional levels. Suitable for all age groups, it can help with stress, mental fatigue, insomnia, headaches, and hair or scalp-related issues.
