It also makes the individual strong and immune to physical and mental stress and thus prevent many life-inducing psychosomatic illnesses. Shirodhara works on the hypothalamus of the head which can be correlated to the roots of the trees. If the roots are healthy then the chances of the tree being healthy are more. The head controls the entire body mechanics and dynamics. The calming effect produced by Shirodhara can be correlated to the effect obtained with meditation.
