Ksheera Dhara

Ksheera Dhara

Ksheera Dhara is an Ayurvedic therapy that involves the continuous pouring of warm medicated milk over the body or specific parts of the body. This ancient treatment is known for its nourishing, cooling, and rejuvenating effects on the skin, muscles, and nervous system.

During Ksheera Dhara, the patient lies comfortably on a massage table while warm medicated milk, infused with herbs such as turmeric, saffron, or licorice, is poured over the body in a gentle, rhythmic manner. The milk is typically heated to a comfortable temperature and poured from a traditional vessel called a Dhara pot.

Benefits of Ksheera Dhara include:

  • Nourishment and Hydration: The warm medicated milk deeply penetrates the skin, nourishing and hydrating the tissues, and promoting a healthy glow.
  • Calming of the Nervous System: Ksheera Dhara has a soothing effect on the nerves, making it beneficial for conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and stress-related disorders.
  • Relief from Skin Conditions: The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of medicated milk help alleviate skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and acne.
  • Muscle Relaxation: The gentle flow of warm milk helps relax tense muscles, reduce muscular spasms, and improve flexibility.
