Shirodhara is a special treatment. Shiro means head and Dhara means flow, which involves a gentle and continuous stream of thin medicated warm oil poured over the forehead along the hairline and eyebrow focusing on ‘Ajna marma or Ajna chakra‘ (third eye chakra), an area where nerves are highly concentrated. The pressure of the oil onto the forehead creates vibration, and this stimulation is said to create positive energy around the heart chakra. Shirodhara is found to be equated with a meditative state and may help to relieve symptoms of

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Fatigue
• Hypertension
• Worry & fear
• Insomnia
• Headache

Kati Basti is equated to indirect physiotherapy. It is a procedure in which warm medicated oil is kept in a specially formed frame ring prepared from black gram flour over the lumbosacral area or any adjacent part for a certain time. This is a form of fomentation to a particular localized area. The oil is generally heated and pooled/retained over the affected or inflamed area. This technique also relieves pain, stiffness, swelling, and inflammation of the localized affected area. Oils used nourish and strengthen the affected joints and reduce pain or discomfort by soothing the nerves surrounding the affected area within a length of time. The heat also improves the elasticity of the connective tissue. Ann has personally used this treatment to help with her sciatica pain management. Recommended for
