SHIRODHARA – Flow of oil on your Forehead – combined with a body oiling – 1 1/2 h. sfr 200.–
It is recommended to have a minimum of 5 treatments. This is NOT a wellness application and therefore I do not offer it as a single usage.
Shir means „Head“ and Dhara means“to pour“ = to pour the flow of oil or decoction on your forehead especially on the third eye. It may be anything liquid as described in our old ayurvedic texts. So Shirodhara means a purifying and detoxification technique used to manage physical and mental exertion and fatigue. Shirodhara is a unique form of ancient therapy of pouring oil on the forehead from a specific height and for a specific period continuously and rythmatically allowing the oil to run through the scalp and into the hair.
Only if you have the time, you really need it and it is recommended to you after the anamnesis, I can very well apply it to you. After the Shirodhara, it is recommended to take your time and rest, reject all negative influences and emotions and avoid mental and physical Efforts.
– In Ayurveda, the Head ist defined as the “Gate to Heaven“. It is a very intensive Treatment. The countinous pouring of 2 Lt. valuable oil , or with herbal milk-decoction is continous poured over the forehead and temples.
– Indications for such a treatmenet are mainly : headaches, Tinitus, Depressions, Fear, Anxiety, Epilepsy, High blood pressure,Nervoussness, Stress and Burnout Syndrom, sleep disorders, mental and physical exhaustion, as well as many psychosomatic disorders, skin diseases, general Pain-syndrom including chronic Headaches, Face paralysis and paralysis.

Ear candle therapy, combined with other Therapies
Is a pleasant and non-invasive treatment of the ears, used to treat a variety of conditions. These ear candles induce a revitalising heat upon the head and ears, which soothes, relieves and relaxes.
The candles are made from the natural ingredients of beeswax, honey extracts, sage, St Johns Wort, chamomile, beta-carotene and organically grown flax as well 100% natural essential oils.
The candles work on a chimney principle, drawing any impurities to the surface where they can be gently removed. They equalise the pressure in the head and ears, making them suitable for most conditions. Secretion flow is gently stimulated and the vapour collects and removes impurities or deposits. Most of these are carried away through the candle “chimney”, although some of them can be found in the condensed candle wax residue after removal from the ear, or could even work their way up to the surface 24-48 hours after.
However, most clients find the treatment relaxing and regularly describe a “slight relieved feeling” in the ears and head but also a relaxing and calming effect on the whole system.
