Ayurvedic Shirodhara

At Endless Summer, we take pride in providing the best care for our clientele. We now offer Shirodhara; an element of Ayurvedic medicine which has been used for 5,000 years in India but has only recently been “discovered” by Western massage therapists eager to expand their knowledge and client base. Fittingly, shirodhara today combines ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern health-and-beauty techniques in a winning spa combination.

At Endless Summer, a typical shirodhara session includes an Ayurvedic facial and an herbal body scrub. Soft music drifts into the dimly lit room, while the scent of warm oil fills the air. In this calm sanctuary shirodhara is about to begin.

I’d heard of the Ayurvedic treatment known as Shirodhara, where warmed essential oils are streamed through a wick onto your forehead, and wanted to experience it. The procedure requires a special device called copper shirodhara vessel, not found at many spas, but with a little research you should be able to locate one as I did, and your venture into Ayurveda will begin.

I found my oasis at Endless Summer Salon, and soon became initiated into one of the most relaxing avenues of Ayurveda – the Shirodhara treatment. The Shirodhara vessel is situated right above your forehead, which allows the warmed oils to run smoothly onto your “third eye.” In India, the third eye has long been known as the gateway to higher consciousness, as explained to me by Monica, my therapist.
