Shirodhara
Shirodhara is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy that involves pouring of a gentle, steady stream of warm medicated oil or herb infused milk onto the forehead center or ‘third eye’ area. The word Shirodhara is derived from two Sanskrit words - ‘Shiro,’ which means ‘head’, and ‘Dhara’, which means ‘flow.’ The continuous flow of warm oil on the forehead aims to create a deep sense of relaxation, calms the restless mind and activates the ‘third eye’ so as to promote mental clarity, grounding and spiritual awareness.

“Ayurvedagram Bali is something that really changed my life. This is family to me. It makes me feel at home. I love the maturity and sensitivity of the staff and the people who take care. I was already in love with Ayurvedagram in Bangalore, but wanted to come to another healing place and had been studying a lot about other places that have a beautiful surrounding and powerful land. And there is nothing better than coming especially here to Ubud, which means medicine. There is magic around this place. It’s not about just the facility itself, it’s the surrounding. We were in the middle of a little village outside Ubud and I had the opportunity to experience, throughout these 32 days, the real local life, so nothing could be more perfect than that.”
