Shirodhara :-
It is an amazing, unique body therapy from the ancient natural medical system Ayurveda. Shirodhara has a profound impact on the nervous system. That means, the treatment directly and immediately calms, relaxes and has a cleansing effect on the mind and nerves.

Who Benefits From Shirodhara?
Shirodhara is a great treatment for a compromised nervous system. Shirodhara can help relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, fatigue and hypertension. It relieves tension, worry, fear and headache as well as depression. It regulates mood and gives feelings of pleasure and relaxation.

Shirodhara can also assist with the following conditions:

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder -
Shirodhara reduces excess vata dosha which is the primary dosha out of balance in PTSD. According to Alakananda Ma of the Alandi Ayurveda Gurukulam, shirodhara done with an appropriate Shirodhara Oil containing nervine herbs will deeply soothe the nervous system and help ease the symptoms.

Insomnia and Shift Work Sleep Disorder -
Shirodhara is traditionally known for it’s ability to assist with sleep problems. Research proves the treatment effective alone and also when coupled with herbal support. Shirodhara with milk has also proven effective in treating insomnia. The process stimulates the pineal gland which produces melatonin, the regulator of the wake-sleep cycle. It calms an unquiet mind and induces rest. If your insomnia stems from working the night shift and your wake-sleep cycle is out of sync with the natural rhythms of the sun shirodhara can assist in removing fatigue, restoring energy and re-establishing harmony in the doshas or constitution.

Jet Lag - If you’re a frequent flyer and your daily sleep rhythm is often out of sync and you suffer jet lag, shirodhara can help reset your daily pattern of waking and sleeping as well as remove built up fatigue. Travel with Vata oil or Bhringaraj oil and apply to the head before bed or invest in a portable shirodhara unit.

Hypertension - Shirodhara has proven effective in lowering blood pressure.

Shirodhara is also a great treatment for the healthy individual looking to maintain health and enhance well being, clarity, calm and immunity. Shirodhara promotes deep relaxation, relieves fatigue and renews and reinvigorates the body and mind.

It also balances one’s energy level. If you are in need of rest and relaxation, the process will provide you that. If you are well rested the process will enhance your clarity and perception.

Shirodhara increases immunity by relieving stress and worry, and balancing the Ayurveda mind-body types or doshas so that your constitution remains strong.

Shirodhara gives deep rest and renewed energy producing an ageless and youthful countenance. Shirodhara relieves stress, worry and excessive thought. It gives total relaxation as if from meditation. This naturally relaxes and rejuvenates the face and softens worry lines.

Jalaukavacharana - Leecha Therapy:
Most of us know that Leech is the worm that sucks blood; not many know that Leech sucks only impure blood to be very specific. It might scare you that how can a blood-sucking worm cure the skin infection or save someone’s foot suffering from diabetic foot injury from imputation. But the truth is Leech therapy when done by an expert Ayurvedic doctor is one of the most effective treatments for many diseases and problems.

THERE ARE MANY INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT LEECH THERAPY WHICH ARE LISTED BELOW:-
Leech therapy or Raktamokshana is actually a blood purification therapy where leeches are used to suck the impure blood from the infected part of the body.
The patient does experience a little bit of pain when the leech bites or sucks the blood from a point on your skin. But this is a bearable pain and the treatment is very safe without any side effects. However, there can be mild redness or skin rashes post the therapy which will disappear within 24-48 hours depending on the patient’s response.
Another important thing to understand is that leeches are parasites with an enzyme in their saliva that gets released in the patient’s blood when leeches bite on a skin area. This saliva stops the patient’s blood from clotting; the saliva also has antiseptic properties. So the pain of leech bite or sucking is over the moment its saliva mixes with the blood.
Leech therapy is an advanced form of treatment in Ayurveda. You may not see many Ayurvedic practitioners doing leech therapy. One, medicinal leeches are not easily available. Secondly, only an expert Ayurvedic Vaidya can manager and administer Leech therapy for best results. The cleanliness and hygiene element play a vital role in the success of Leech therapy. That’s why one should always get it done from renowned Ayurvedic doctors.
Leech Therapy is no less that magic wand and can cure many a health problems. Take a look at what all can be cured by this therapy:-

In case of diabetic foot injury or gangrene leading to foot amputation – One of the most horrible problems associated with Diabetes is foot injury which can lead to Gangrene because diabetes stops blood from reaching the foot owing to blockage of blood vessels. Gangrene or Diabetic foot injury can be fatal and in some cases, the patient has to opt for amputation. But, thanks to this Leech therapy, one can save the foot as well as the trouble of spending money on a surgery! At Chandigarh Ayurveda Centre, experts have saved many a patients from getting their foot amputation with the help of leech therapy only.
Leech therapy for skin problems – Forget PRP therapy or face surgical treatments; Ayurveda has a better way of addressing your skin problems like infections, eczema or many other problems beyond skin. And that is Leech Therapy – Raktamokshana. Skin problems are so common these days. Teenagers suffer from acne and pimples for which they use cosmetic products and make the problem worse. Then, there are problems of blemishes or skin allergy that may happen due to over-exposure to sun or some internal toxic problems. Skin problems like Psoriasis or skin rashes which may break down a person’s confidence. Leech therapy can be used to cure all these problems. It gives best results without any side effects.
Leech therapy is also used successfully to manage problems like High Blood Pressure and Arthritis.
Leech therapy improves blood circulation and metabolism as well. Research has proved that the saliva of leech has over 100 bioactive substances that bring amazing health benefits. Like one of the useful components in Leech’s saliva is known for decreasing the viscosity of the blood. This helps the patients suffering from the problem of blood clotting happening commonly post diabetes or high cholesterol. The saliva of leech makes the consistency of blood thinner resulting in improved blood circulation.
Leech therapy has shown its effectiveness in treating Hemorrhoids, also known as piles.
