Shirodhara is a classic Ayurvedic therapy that includes the pouring of warm herbal decoction on the forehead in a continuous stream.  It is a part of Panch Karma (Detoxification Process).  The materials and herbs in the decoction depends upon one's constitution.  The human body is like an upside down tree. For example, when something is wrong with the leaves of a tree, we treat the roots of the tree.  Similarly, when something is wrong with our body, we treat the head first.  The head of the human body is the same as the roots of a tree.  As per the Bhagavad Gita, we call the "Urdhva Mulam Adhahshakham", which is a unique concept of Ayurveda that gets rid of the root cause of most diseases.  
Shirodhara helps as a remedy for anxiety, stress, tension, fatigue, headache, migraine, and much more.  Shirodhara is also helpful in a lot of psychosomatic disorders. 

Your kitchen is your laboratory! 
Some spices are a very good source of calcium, iron, and vitamins, etc.  They also help improve the digestive system.  At the time of consultation, a person can get a lot of information on what kinds of spices to use according to their constitution.  Spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, black pepper, sesame seeds, ajwain, bay leaves, etc. are called "Prakshep Dhravya", which means that after you cook or fry something, you should put the spices on top of the almost ready meal, not directly into the pot or oil before you put any other ingredients in it.  People can also use spices in a raw or in mixture form to get the benefits for the different systems in the body (e.g. Digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, nervous system, etc.). 

According to Ayurveda, lifestyle plays an important role in your well being.  In this era, people are always in a rush.  People that work in the IT profession, people that work in convenient stores, people that have shift changes daily, people that travel a lot for work and get jet lag, and people that have a sedentary lifestyle are the people that have bad affects on their metabolism.  Lifestyle modifications will guide you on how to manage your health with diet changes and exercise.  
Please call or book an appointment for more information on you lifestyle changes for your well being and health.  

Weather and the environment are also an important part in one's health.  During seasonal transition periods, seven days before one season ends and seven days after a season starts, people can have many allergies and health issues.  Seasonal guidelines about food and environment are very helpful in prevention of allergies and health issues and if you follow regularly, it is more helpful to manage a healthy lifestyle.  
Dr. Bhavya provides these seasonal guidelines.
