Shiropichu – Ayurvedic Head Oil Therapy for Deep Relaxation and Nerve Strengthening
Shiropichu is a deeply nutritional Ayurvedic therapy designed to calm the mind, strengthen the nervous system, and promote internal clarity.
In this remedy, a piece of cotton or cloth( pichu) soaked in warm, treated herbal oil is placed on the scalp or affected area of the head. The oil sluggishly penetrates the crown, allowing its mending and cooling parcels to reach deep into the brain and nerve tissues.
According to Ayurveda, the head is one of the body’s most vital energy centers. Shiropichu helps balance the Tridoshas( Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), particularly soothing irritated Vata and Pitta, which are frequently responsible for stress, insomnia, and neurological discomfort.
This gentle yet important therapy promotes tranquility, relieves pressure, and restores harmony to both mind and body.
How Shiropichu Works
During a Shiropichu session, the therapist warms a specific herbal oil, generally Dhanwantharam Thailam, Ksheerabala Thailam, or Brahmi oil painting, based on your body constitution and health condition.
A clean cotton pad( pichu) is soaked in this treated oil and placed on the crown of the head or the area demanding attention. The cloth is kept moist with continuous application of warm oil throughout the session to maintain temperature and effectiveness.
As the oil seeps through the crown, it nourishes the brain cells, strengthens nerves, and relieves pressure in the head and neck area. The process is deeply soothing and frequently followed by a light head massage to enhance immersion and relaxation.
