Shirolepam

Shirolepam is the application of a medicated herbal paste to the head and scalp

Powdered herbs (such as brahmi, jatamansi, licorice or sandalwood) are mixed with oils or liquids into a paste and applied over the scalp. The head is then covered for about 30–60 minutes, allowing the herbal nourishment to penetrate deeply into the skin and hair follicles. Afterwards the paste is gently washed off.

This therapy nourishes the scalp and promotes healthy hair. It is used to strengthen hair, reduce dandruff and support hair growth.

Because the scalp has a rich supply of nerves, Shirolepa also calms the nervous system. It is traditionally applied to relieve headaches, migraines and stress by reducing inflammation of the scalp tissues.

Shirolepa is traditionally used for treating hair loss conditions like baldness and patchy hair fall.

Patients often find that Shirolepa leaves their scalp feeling cool, refreshed and their minds more tranquil.
