What are the benefits of Shiro Abhyanga in Ayurveda for stress relief and mental health? - #13737
I’ve been feeling mentally overwhelmed and stressed lately, and I’ve heard that Shiro Abhyanga (head and scalp oil massage) can help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. I’m curious to know how effective this treatment is for mental well-being and what specific benefits it offers. From what I’ve read, Shiro Abhyanga involves massaging medicated oils like Brahmi or Sesame oil on the scalp and head, which is believed to improve circulation, calm the nervous system, and promote mental clarity. It’s often used to relieve stress, reduce headaches, improve sleep, and enhance overall mental health. Has anyone tried Shiro Abhyanga? What benefits did you notice after the treatment, and how often should it be done to see real results? Another thing—does Shiro Abhyanga help with issues like insomnia or hair thinning, or is it primarily used for mental relaxation and stress relief? Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced the benefits of Shiro Abhyanga!
