Traditional Head Massage (Shiro Abhyanga): Ancient Benefits Explained

Shiro Abhyanga is the venerable Ayurvedic practice of applying warm herbal oils to the head, neck, and shoulders. The head contains numerous Marma points (vital energy intersections) that directly communicate with the central nervous system.

Using medicated oils such as Bhringraj Thailam or Ksheerabala cools crown heat, relieves insomnia, and strengthens hair roots from within.
