Thalapothichil – Ayurvedic Cooling Therapy for Mind & Scalp Rejuvenation
Thalapothichil, also known as “Shiro Lepam,” is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy designed to calm the mind, nourish the scalp, and balance the body’s heat. In this treatment, a herbal paste is applied to the head and wrapped with banana leaves to enhance absorption. The cooling effect of the herbs soothes the nervous system, alleviates mental stress, and promotes relaxation, making it an ideal therapy for emotional and physical well-being.

How is Thalapothichil Performed?
A specially prepared herbal paste, made from cooling medicinal plants, is applied evenly over the scalp. The head is then wrapped with banana leaves to retain moisture and enhance absorption. As the paste works its magic, the cooling sensation spreads through the body, releasing stress and restoring balance. After a set duration, the paste is gently washed off, leaving the scalp refreshed and rejuvenated.
