Shiro Vasti

Shiro Vasti

Shiro Vasti is an Ayurvedic therapy that involves the application of warm medicated oil to the head, specifically targeting the crown area. This treatment is renowned for its ability to alleviate various neurological conditions, promote mental clarity, and nourish the scalp and hair.

During Shiro Vasti, a cylindrical cap made of dough is placed on the head, creating a reservoir. Warm medicated oil, usually herbalized sesame oil or coconut oil, is poured into this reservoir and allowed to remain for a specific duration. The oil is kept at a comfortably warm temperature throughout the treatment.

Benefits of Shiro Vasti include:

• Nourishment of the Scalp: The warm medicated oil deeply penetrates the scalp, nourishing the hair follicles, and promoting healthy hair growth.
• Alleviation of Neurological Disorders: Shiro Vasti is beneficial for conditions such as headaches, migraines, insomnia, and neurological imbalances. The soothing effect of the oil helps calm the mind and reduce stress.
• Enhancement of Mental Clarity: By balancing the Doshas (biological energies) and nourishing the brain tissues, Shiro Vasti can improve mental clarity, concentration, and cognitive function.
• Relief from Scalp Issues: The medicated oil used in Shiro Vasti contains herbs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective for treating scalp conditions like dandruff, dryness, and itching.
