Opis

Anxiety states are one of the most common neurotic syndromes. They consist of a combination of physiological manifestations of anxiety, not attributable real danger, which occur either in attacks (Panic disorder) or as a persisting state (Generalized anxiety disorders). Anxiety patients form about 30% of the total patients visiting a psychiatric OPD. Shirodhara word is derived from two words - Shiras and Dhara, Shiras means the head and Dhara means pouring of Drava Dravyas on Shiro Pradesha especially over the forehead. Shirodhara is the therapy of choice as it directly works on the psychosomatic system and it also did prove efficient when it was done with medicated oils.
