Shiro Basti is an Ayurvedic treatment that involves the application of warm medicated oil to the scalp. It is typically performed by using a leather cap or a dough ring to contain the oil and allow it to be retained on the scalp for a period of time. Improves hair health and reduces stress and anxiety.
The patient sits in a comfortable position, usually with their head tilted backwards.
A leather cap or a dough ring is placed around the head to create a seal and contain the oil.
Warm medicated oil is then poured onto the scalp through the opening in the cap or ring.
The oil is allowed to remain on the scalp for a period of time, typically 30-60 minutes.
After the treatment, the oil is removed from the scalp and the patient is asked to rest for a short period of time before taking a warm bath or shower to remove the excess oil.
