Experience Deep Relaxation with Takradhara at Ayur Healthcare, Sydney
Takradhara is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy in which medicated buttermilk is gently streamed over the forehead in a rhythmic and continuous flow. The word Takra means buttermilk, and Dhara means stream or flow.
Takradhara is a specialised form of Shirodhara, where herbalised buttermilk is used instead of oil. From an Ayurvedic perspective, buttermilk is known for its naturally cooling and soothing qualities, making this therapy particularly calming and refreshing.
In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, mental strain, restlessness, and constant stimulation are common. Takradhara is traditionally used to encourage deep relaxation and mental calm, helping the body and mind shift into a more settled and balanced state.
