Shirodhara is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy in which a continuous stream of warm medicated oil, buttermilk, milk, or herbal decoction is gently poured over the forehead, particularly the area between the eyebrows (the "third eye" region). It is commonly used to promote deep relaxation and overall well-being.
