Stress & SleepYour body is keeping score — and asking for help

Chronic stress and poor sleep are not character flaws or productivity problems. They are physiological imbalances. Panchakarma — and specifically Shirodhara — resets the nervous system at a level no supplement can reach.

Panchakarma Protocols

Therapies used for Stress & Sleep

All therapies are administered by two Kerala-trained therapists simultaneously — ensuring complete, consistent coverage.

Specific therapies are selected based on your individual assessment. Not all therapies below will apply to every patient.

Shirodhara

50 mins

Continuous oil stream on forehead

Warm medicated oil poured in a continuous stream over the forehead and third eye. Directly calms the hypothalamus and sympathetic nervous system. Most patients enter a theta-wave state within minutes — a depth of relaxation that cannot be achieved consciously.

Thalapothichil

30 mins

Medicated paste head application

Cooling medicated paste applied to the scalp and retained for 30 minutes. Reduces Pitta in the head — relieving migraines, heat-related insomnia and mental agitation.

Abhyangam with Svedana

75 mins

Full body oil massage with steam

Two therapists working simultaneously with warm medicated oils. Calms Vata throughout the nervous system, relieves physical tension and prepares the body for deeper therapeutic work.

Sirovasti

30 mins

Oil retention on the head

Warm medicated oil retained on the head using a cylindrical cap. Deeply nourishes cerebral tissue, reduces anxiety, treats severe insomnia and nervous system disorders.

Nasyam

20 mins

Nasal administration

Medicated oils administered through the nasal passage — the direct route to the brain. Clears mental fog, reduces Kapha in the head and improves sleep quality significantly.

Basti

30–45 mins

Medicated enema therapy

The primary therapy for Vata — the dosha governing the nervous system. Systemic Vata pacification through Basti produces profound effects on anxiety, sleep and nervous exhaustion.

Patient Story

I was sleeping 4 hours a night for two years. After 10 days of Shirodhara and Panchakarma at Era Ayurveda I was sleeping 7 hours. My colleagues asked what I had done differently.
