Shirobhasti

Treatment for the head

Shirobasthi therapeutic technique is a very effective and important one for good health and especially for the health of the head.

After a particular preparation (as seen in photo) a medicated warm oil is poured on the head of the receiving, directing the jet at the beginning with its index over the head, so the hot oil does not flow directly onto the head of the receiver and who leads the treatment knows how much is the oil hot. The receiver should sit firm with his mind calm. The therapists continue to monitor the temperature with a finger, oil which is turning cool is removed from the head, heated and re-applied for treatment.
This procedure can be repeated every time the oil cools. Be sure that the oil remains hot for the duration of Shirobasti.
The Shirobasti be continued until the dosha begin to come out the nose, ears and mouth in the form of secretion.
This is a treatment that is applied only to a person strong or for treating serious diseases.
When you experience the signs that Shirobasti has worked well to the receiver he is asked to bend forward to pour the oil in a container.
You are advised to make this treatment fasting. The rules of diet and behavior to be observed are the most important conditions in order to get full benefits.
