Abstract

In Ayurvedic classics, Shirodhara therapy is indicated in mainly Vata- Pitta disorders; it gives good results in stress related lifestyle disorders like ulcerative colitis, hypertension, psoriasis & other psychosomatic diseases etc. Kushtha in general and Ekakushtha particularly has excessive accumulation of Doshas and is Chirakari in nature. Considering the psychosomatic nature of the disease and the role of stress as the most common predisposing factor for psoriasis, Takradhara therapy is mostly used in psoriasis in practice. As various studies conducted on Dhara therapy, specifically Takradhara have shown significant role in relieving the stress induced disorders. Continuous pouring of Shirodhara on fore-head for a specific period has Tranquilizing effect & regulates rhythm Mana & Prana Vayu it also induces Sleep.
