Exciting Research on Shirodhara

I recently came across several abstracts on PubMed regarding the efficacy of shirodhara.
Here's the good news. Shirodhara is an effective complementary therapy for insomnia, hypertension, stress/mood and ADHD in children. It is also an effective alternative to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).



I was excited to see the study on HRT and not surprised that shirodhara was effective for this. Shirodhara has an effect on the mind's hormone producers, the pineal gland and the pituitary gland.

Here are links to the studies:
