Is stress having a greater impact on your life than you'd like? That question has a resounding
YES for the majority of us!
We now know that too much stress can be highly dangerous and can affect our physical,
mental, and emotional health. Stress is a fairly ubiquitous aspect of modern human
experience.
Ayurveda gives a lovely viewpoint on stress management, but in order to properly grasp it,
start by looking into the possible repercussions of excessive stress and create a contextual
understanding of the human stress reaction.
The cardiovascular system, the musculoskeletal system, the neurological system, the
reproductive system, and the immune system can all suffer when we are under excessive
stress, as can the digestive system, metabolic function (including body weight imbalances),
and the musculoskeletal system.
Additionally, excessive stress can affect our relationships, mental and emotional well-being,
and bone health (and related tissues such as the teeth, hair, and nails). Even though stress
plays a role in a number of illnesses, its impact is often neglected because it wears us down
on a systemic level
The basic message is that there is a significant likelihood that making some supporting
adjustments could be advantageous.

TREATMENT OF STRESS THROUGH AYURVEDA

herbal oil tailored to a person's dosage condition refreshes, lightens, and strengthens the skin
while providing the tissues with nourishing nourishment. It makes the body, including the
limbs, strong and robust, gives both the body's dhatus (tissues) energy, and enhances
circulation, which calms the doshas.
Shirodhara is the practise of repeatedly pouring therapeutic oil or Kashaya over the head
while giving it a very gentle massage. Under the direction of our expert Ayurvedic doctor,
therapeutic oils are poured and kept on the head for a set amount of time using an extended
cap.

the most vulnerable to stress and tension. High levels of alertness and attentiveness are
prompted by the treatment of the head, which also fosters a sense of relaxation, harmony, and
calm. During the Naturopathic Head Massage, ayurvedic oil will be left on a person's scalp
for an appropriate amount of time.
