Procedure at Santhigiri

1. Initial Consultation:
   • The process begins with a thorough consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor to assess the patient’s condition and determine the appropriate medicated oils and treatment duration.

   • The patient is seated comfortably in a quiet, serene environment to promote relaxation. A custom-made cap is placed on the head and secured to prevent oil leakage.
3. Application of Medicated Oil:
   • Warm medicated oils, often containing herbs like Brahmi, Bala, and Ksheerabala, are gently poured into the cap. The oil is maintained at a specific temperature and kept on the head for 30 to 60 minutes.
