Thaila Dhara

Thaila Dhara is a therapeutic oil treatment that follows a precise method to maximize its healing benefits:
Preparation of Medicated Oil:
Herbal oils, tailored to the patient’s condition, are heated to a lukewarm temperature. These oils are selected based on their therapeutic properties and the individual’s dosha (body constitution).
Continuous Oil Pouring:
The warm oil is poured in a steady stream over specific parts of the body, such as the forehead (Shirodhara), back, or full body, depending on the condition being treated. The flow is consistent, ensuring maximum absorption and relaxation.
Massage Techniques:
The therapist gently massages the body to allow the oils to penetrate deep into the tissues, enhancing circulation, relieving muscle tension, and improving joint flexibility.
Duration of the Therapy:
A typical Thaila Dhara session lasts between 45 minutes to 1 hour, but the duration may vary based on the patient's condition and the treatment area.

Equipment Used in Thaila Dhara
Specific tools and materials are required to perform Thaila Dhara effectively, ensuring both comfort and therapeutic benefit:
Medicated Herbal Oils:
The oils are the core component of the treatment, chosen according to the patient's condition, with each oil having unique healing properties.
Dhara Vessel:
A specially designed vessel is used to pour the oil in a continuous stream. The vessel has a small spout that ensures a steady and even flow of oil during the therapy.
Massage Table (Droni):
The treatment is conducted on a traditional Ayurvedic wooden table that is slightly tilted to allow the oil to flow off smoothly.
Heating Apparatus:
The oil is gently heated throughout the therapy to maintain a consistent temperature, ensuring that the warm oil provides the desired therapeutic effect.
