Shirodhara

Shirodhara is a classical and a well-established Ayurvedic procedure of slowly and steadily dripping medicated oil or other liquids on the forehead. This procedure induces a relaxed state of awareness that results in a dynamic psycho-somatic balance.

Pinda Sweda

Pinda Sweda is one of the most important sudation therapies used in Panchakarma. During the treatment, various parts of the patient’s body are uniformly massaged with a linen bundle called kizhi dipped in a special kuzhambu, or medicated oil.

Virechana

Virechana is one of the Panchakarma therapies wherein purgation is induced by drugs and it specifically aims at the elimination of excessive Pitta Dosha from the body. Normally, after Virechanakarma, patient does not complain of having any untoward like those present after diarrhea due to dehydration.
