which oil is used for shirodhara - #25602

Julian

I am trying to find some info on which oil is used for shirodhara. A few weeks ago, I went to this Ayurvedic retreat, and they suggested shirodhara for my stress and insomnia issues. The therapist mentioned using specific oils, but honestly, I can't remember which oil is used for shirodhara. I really liked it, but I wanna know if there are different types of oils for various conditions. Like, is there a particular oil better for anxiety or headaches? I recall the therapist also saying something about sesame oil and coconut oil but now I'm confused, lol. Also, I have sensitive skin, and I wonder if that affects which oil is used for shirodhara? The experience was amazing, and I'm thinking about doing it again at home, but I want to get the oil part right! Any suggestions or tips?
