Dhara

Dhara involves pouring warm, medicated oil or herbal fluid onto the body.

For example, in Shirodhara, warm oil is poured on the forehead; in Sarvangadhara, on the entire back or body. Each form uses oils blended with herbs tailored to the patient’s dosha and condition. The continuous flow of oil or liquid, usually lasting 30–60 minutes, creates a rhythmic, meditative effect on the nervous system.
