A healing touch that calms the mind, energizes the body, and restores balance
What is Shiro-Pada Abhyanga?
Shiro-Pada Abhyanga is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy involving the massage of two vital energy centers—the head (Shiras) and the feet (Pada)—with warm, medicated herbal oils. Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic principles, this therapy offers profound relaxation and therapeutic benefits by stimulating the body’s marma (vital) points and calming the nervous system.
At Sitaram Ayurveda Hospital, Shiro-Pada Abhyanga is performed as a standalone therapy or as a part of integrated treatment protocols. It is ideal for individuals dealing with mental fatigue, sleep disturbances, eye strain, or simply seeking restoration of inner balance.
How Shiro-Pada Abhyanga Works
This therapy focuses on two ends of the body that hold immense energetic significance in Ayurveda:
The Head – The command center of the body, housing the brain and sense organs, and the seat of prana (vital life force).
The Feet – A gateway to grounding and circulation, with connections to major nerve endings and energy pathways.
Warm medicated oils are gently massaged into the scalp and feet in synchronized, rhythmic strokes by expert therapists. The technique helps release tension, stimulate circulation, and harmonize the doshas—especially Vata and Pitta.
