Shirovasthi

This is a treatment process for patients suffering from facial palsy, migraine, dryness of mouth, throat and nostrils, insomnia, spondylitis etc. In this treatment lukewarm herbal oils are poured into a cap fitted on the head. The oil is retained until the patient develops discharge from the nose and mouth or for a maximum 45 minutes. Oil is then removed from the head by bending the head slightly and making a small opening in the bandage.
