Hello Readers and my Dear Patients,
Many of my patients were keep on asking this question,how to
apply the oil on head and why?
So here’s brief about itMy highly respectful ‘Guru’ Padmabooshan
Sri.E.T.Narayanan Mooss used to prescribe the head oil application as follows;
Daily in the evening after 5pm,one teaspoon of prescribed
head oil to be poured into an already heated ladle stir well, allow to cool
and to be applied on the middle of the head,wait for half an hour then wiped of
with a dry cloth.
Head bath can be done in the morning twice in week with luke
warm water.
This is the method he usually prescribe,he is suggesting that
after the head oil application the head should not get sweat.
So he advise to
do it in the evening.
Should not take bath but wipe of with dry cloth which
leave a light smear of oil kept over night,it enhances the absorption of the
oil for better results.
But very rarely the patients get inflammation on cheeks when doing like this.
In Such cases he allows the patient to wash the head
daily and when the patient suffering psoriasis patches on the head or sever
dandruff with itching and scaling.
According to the job and other situations many of the
working class patients cant follow this method strictly.
So i suggest my
patients to apply and wash it with luke warm water either in the morning or
evening.
Head should not wash twice daily. Should not take head bath when hot sun .
Patients with Rheumatic conditions
and inflammatory stage inside the body, better to reduce head bath to twice or
thrice in a week.
Especially patients with Spondilitis,sinus
problems,migraine,eye diseases,allergic asthma etc.
In the Ayurveda text ‘Ashtangahrudayam’ says that oil
application should be practiced daily especially on the head region,ears and on
the feet.
Because the 107 vital points originates from the head to the soles ,when
we apply the oil at the origin and at the end part, it reflects on the entire
body
.And the head is considered as the ‘uthmangam’ (important center of nervous
system),the proper functioning of hearing is happening by the activity of wind
element which is seated at the ears and the feet is also the seat of wind
element (vatha sthanam).
The basic property of oils are pacify the wind element
or ‘vatha dosha’.
So in order to protect and maintain the balanced wind element
in the body oil application is very necessary on the Daily basis.
There is range of oils which prescribed by Ayurveda doctors
depending upon the patient’s body type,age,gender,symptoms and illnesses.
Thank you so much for Reading and Sharing my blogs, looking forward for your sincere comments.
