Abstract : Shirodhara is, pouring of medicinal Kwatha (Decoction) or oil on forehead. Shirodhara is a type external oleation therapy which comes under the Snehana Karma. Stress is a big part of today's modern lifestyle, which makes it difficult for people to go about their daily lives. The most prevalent and difficult conditions in the modern period include conditions like insomnia, headaches, facial paralysis, scalp psoriasis, hair loss, etc. However, there has not been any efficient management of these complaints up to this point. Determining safe and efficient treatment techniques for these disorders is therefore urgently needed. Thus, an effort is made to rule out Shirodhara's effectiveness in treating various psychological disorders.
