Shirovasti
The Crown Oil Therapy
“A golden crown of warm herbal oil rests upon your head, drawing calmness and clarity into
every fiber of your being.”
Shirovasti is a profound Ayurvedic therapy in which a dough ring is placed on the head, creating
a reservoir for warm, dosha-specific herbal oil to be retained over the scalp. This ritual deeply
pacifies Vata imbalances in the head, relieves chronic headaches, enhances memory, and
nourishes the nervous system. Guests relax as the oil permeates the cranial tissues for 15–30
minutes, experiencing a gentle warmth and profound mental calm. A concluding cleansing
massage releases any residual tension, leaving the mind clear, the senses sharpened, and the body
imbued with renewed energy. Shirovasti is celebrated for bringing a deep sense of focus,
balance, and tranquility, making it one of Ayurveda’s most cherished therapies
