Shirodhara and Pineal Gland

[Guest guest]

Dr Aatray,

 

would you kindly provide some explaination in simple terms to

following too?

 

1. Ovary is also an endocrine gland, few feet away from cheeks,

breast, inners side of thighs; still estrogen patches and

progesterone creams are applied on these skins (reason put forward

is: skin here is so thin that transdermal transfer is fast). These

patches reduce deficiencies of hormones in blood, as evidenced by

effects seen on users.

 

2. In shirodhara, warm oil dropped on forehead gets absorbed to some

extent by skin. The micro arteries under the skin and in turn brain

should gets nourishment. the way oil dropped in nose during nasya

goes to brain, same way, this oil must also travel to brain though

less in quantity. Though this is the logic of this author,

ayurveda community will appreciate some 100% "ayurvedic"

explaination in terms of dhatus and strotas etc from an authority.

there is an important part cerebrrum ...... but as i feel it has also

nothing to do with Shirodhara, the basic concept behind starts from

the skin, skin in the scalp region is too much thin that it gets

activated easily by any sensations and when we excite the receptors

on the forhead, from a particular height and pressure these activate

particular regions of the CNS, to talk abou that will make this too

much long....but i can hint you that mental relaxation is more

affilated with cerebrrum and cerebellum so....... shirodhara

activates these two basically that is why it provides relaxation and

concentration.
