Ksheeradhara – Therapy for Mind, Skin & Hormonal Balance

Ksheeradhara is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy that involves the continuous pouring of lukewarm medicated milk over the forehead and scalp. This calming treatment helps relieve mental stress, insomnia, hormonal imbalance, migraines and skin conditions related to excess heat or Pitta aggravation.

The therapy calms the central nervous system, moisturizes the scalp and skin and restores emotional and hormonal balance by reducing internal heat and inflammation.

How Ksheeradhara treatment is done?

  • Consultation & Dosha Assessment - Our Ayurvedic physician evaluates your body constitution and identifies whether Pitta imbalance or stress is the root cause of your symptoms.
  • Preparation of Medicated Milk - Herbs like Brahmi, Chandana (sandalwood), Yashtimadhu (licorice), Vetiver and Shatavari are boiled with milk to create a cooling, nourishing blend.
  • Therapeutic Pouring (Dhara) - The patient lies on a special Droni (Ayurvedic therapy table) and the medicated milk is gently streamed in a rhythmic motion over the forehead or body for 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Post treatment rest - After the session, the patient is given time to rest and a light herbal drink or detox tea may be provided to support the inner calm.
