Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Shirobasti (60 min).
During Shirobasti we fit a warm herbal oil cap, pour medicated oil and let it soak for about thirty minutes while you relax. Expect a gentle head massage, fragrant herbs, deep warmth, and quiet restorative time for mind and scalp.
For maintenance one session every two to four weeks is typical; for acute scalp concerns weekly sessions for a short course may be recommended. Our therapist will assess your scalp condition and suggest a personalized schedule for optimal results.
Shirobasti uses warm herbal oils; during pregnancy we recommend consulting your doctor. Mild, non-essential-oil formulas can be used and positions adjusted for comfort. Avoid treatment in the first trimester or if your physician advises against oil heat therapies.
We use time-honored Ayurvedic herbal oil blends tailored to your dosha and scalp needs, including sesame, bhringraj, coconut, and medicated herbal infusions. Oils are warmed and prepared hygienically, and we can accommodate sensitivities or fragrance-free options.
Many clients notice immediate relaxation and softer hair after one session; measurable improvements in scalp health, reduced dryness, or dandruff typically appear after two to four treatments, depending on condition severity and follow-up care.
Shirobasti supports scalp nourishment and improved circulation which can strengthen hair follicles. It can help mild thinning, dry scalp, and dandruff alongside proper hair care; severe conditions should be evaluated by a dermatologist for combined treatment.
