Takra Dhara

Takra Dhara is one of the forms of Shirodhara, which involves pouring medicated butter milk gently over the head. Takra dhara is different from shirodhara in terms of the liquid poured on the head. Medicated butter milk with blend of herbs is poured gently.

Takra means butter milk, the diluted version of curd and Dhara means flow! This therapy is performed very similar to Shirodhara. Ayurveda always insists of taking butter milk which has a cooling and soothing effect on the body with additional benefits, rather than eating curd, which is somewhat hot.

Generally the therapy is performed continuously for 7 to 21 days based on the effect of the imbalanced vata element as well the impact of the diseases.
