The oil or liquid poured during the process is collected, reheated just above body temperature, and then poured again into the dharapatram. The attendant moves the vessel to both sides of the forehead to ensure the flow of liquid reaches both sides properly. After the procedure, excess oil is wiped off, and the patient is advised to take a bath with medicated warm water after half an hour.
The duration of Shirodhara treatment may vary, typically recommended for 7, 14, or 21 days based on the severity of the disease. A light diet, preferably consisting of semisolids and liquids, is advised during the treatment period. The constant flow of liquid in a specified manner serves to relax the mind, induce a sense of calmness, and tranquilize the patients. This therapeutic procedure is available at Saigram Ayurveda Hospital in Coimbatore, where experienced practitioners provide personalized care to individuals seeking the benefits of Shirodhara.
