What Is The Course About?
The Sirodhara certificate course provides the learner with an expert practical and theoretical knowledge about the Ayurvedic treatment – Sirodhara – Oil Flow On Forehead.
What is Sirodhara?
Sirodhara is an essential treatment in Ayurveda which promotes emotional, mental and physical well-being to the recipient. Sirodhara is a luxuriant and easy way to achieve instant calm and rejuvenation. It derives from two Sanskrit words: siro and dhara. Shiro means head and dhara means to flow. It involves the warm and consistent flow of aromatic oils on the forehead, specifically on the ‘third eye’. This is the chakra point just above and between the eyebrows. It is said to be the seat of human consciousness. The oils are allowed to flow over the scalp and through the hair, creating a blissful sensation.
As the oil strokes the third eye, it has a balancing effect on the deepest recesses of the brain, stimulating the endocrine system, the pituitary and pineal glands (for hormonal upsets) and pleasure neurotransmitters (for depression or emotional insecurity). The procedure is also said to synchronise alpha brain waves, enhancing blood circulation to the brain, improving mental clarity and generally releasing deeply trapped ama, or toxins.
In Ayurveda, it is considered an important tool in treating fatigue, mental exhaustion, anxiety, insomnia, some mental disorders, headache, excessive thinking, nervousness, and many other conditions commonly affecting persons in today’s active lifestyle.
