Medicated Decoction Therapy for Scalp, Skin, and Neurological Conditions
Shiro Kashaya Dhara is a therapeutic Ayurvedic procedure involving the rhythmic pouring of warm medicated decoction (Kashaya) over the forehead and scalp from a controlled height and temperature. Administered by trained therapists under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician, this treatment is highly effective in managing skin disorders, hair concerns, neurological issues,
and psychosomatic conditions.
Key Benefits:
Prevents hair fall, premature greying, and baldness
Nourishes scalp and reduces dryness, dandruff, and itching
Enhances sensory organ function
Relieves stress, induces deep sleep (Nidra Labha)
Supports pituitary and pineal gland regulation via forehead stimulation
Helps balance hormonal, circulatory, and neurological functions
MODE OF ACTION OF STHANIKA PICCHU
- The rhythmic streaming of medicated decoction over the forehead creates gentle pressure and thermal stimulation.
- Vasodilation enhances absorption of active herbal compounds through follicular pores, sebaceous glands, and into the circulation.
- The procedure targets the Agnya Chakra (between the eyebrows), stimulating the pituitary and pineal glands, which influence hormonal and neurological balance.
- The combined pharmacological action and soothing effect on cranial nerves help reduce stress, improve sleep, and support healing in skin and nervous system disorders.
