Takradhara

A variant of Shirodhara in which medicated buttermilk (takra) rather than oil is poured in a continuous stream onto the forehead. Particularly cooling, Takradhara soothes Pitta, calms an overheated mind and relieves insomnia and migraines linked to internal heat. Ayurvedic palace spas offer it as a summer alternative or for Pitta-dominant constitutions.
