Shirodhara + Svedana | An Ayurvedic Treatment

Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old science of natural and holistic healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. According to Ayurveda, the center of the forehead, or Third Eye, is the seat of the intuition, spirituality, and healing.

This is a simple, yet profound treatment that works specifically on balancing and stabilizing the activity of the mind.
