Shirodhara is an Ayurveda-inspired wellness practice, often described as gently pouring warm oil over the forehead for a set duration. User intent typically centers on relaxation, stress reduction, and sleep support. It may be comforting for some people but should not replace evidence-based care for clinical depression, anxiety disorders, or sleep apnea. Hygiene, oil tolerability, and individual triggers (migraine/vertigo) should be carefully considered.
