At the heart of Amman Spa, a sanctuary of peace and restoration, a special Ayurvedic treatment awaits – Shirodhara, an ancient ritual that brings balance to the body, mind, and spirit. This technique, over 5,000 years old, originates from Ayurveda – the holistic medical system of India – and is used worldwide today to reduce stress, tension, anxiety, and to enhance mental clarity.
At Amman Spa, Shirodhara begins with the gentle pouring of warm herbal oil – either pure almond or pure coconut – directly onto the forehead in a continuous stream, while you lie comfortably in a soothing atmosphere, surrounded by silence and the calming scents of essential oils. This steady flow of oil deeply relaxes the nervous system, creating a profound sense of inner peace, as if worries and mental fatigue are slowly melting away.
Following the oil flow, a therapeutic massage of the face, neck, décolleté, head, and hands is performed by a skilled therapist, using carefully designed movements to release tension and stimulate circulation. Aromatherapy with essential oils further enhances the experience, balancing the senses and encouraging total relaxation on all levels.
What makes Shirodhara unique is its holistic approach – it doesn’t only focus on physical relaxation but also facilitates emotional reset. In line with Ayurvedic principles, the treatment helps harmonize the doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), the energetic types that govern our health and well-being.
Shirodhara at Amman Spa lasts 45 minutes, but its effects last much longer – the sense of lightness, tranquility, and mental clarity stays with you for days. It is especially recommended for people feeling overwhelmed, those struggling with insomnia, anxiety, migraines, or anyone simply seeking a deep relaxation experience.
With a professional team of therapists, top-quality natural oils, and a thoughtfully designed ambiance, Amman Spa offers Shirodhara as an experience that reconnects body and spirit, restores balance, and brings a renewed sense of ease.
Surrender to this ritual and allow each drop of warm oil and every mindful touch to guide you back to yourself.
