IL MODO GIUSTO PER OLIARE I CAPELLI

Bold guess: You have, at least once in your life, engaged in a debate about whether we should oil our hair or not. Let us put it to an end now. For thousands of years, the ancient science of Ayurveda provides a resounding endorsement for the practice.  

THE AYURVEDIC CASE FOR OILING YOUR HAIR

• Deep relaxation, alleviating stress, tension headaches, and nervous tension.
• Improved sleep quality, aiding in relieving insomnia.
• Enhanced scalp and hair condition, stimulating and nourishing hair roots to prevent premature greying and baldness.
• Restoration of harmony and balance among the body's three doshas.
• Increased concentration and clear functioning of the senses.

THE CORRECT WAY TO DO IT 

For the Ayurvedic head massage:

1. Warm the oil to a comfortable temperature, avoiding overheating. Place the oil in a separate container and immerse it in hot water.
2. Generously apply the oil to the hair, head, and scalp.
3. Massage gently in circular motions, covering the neck, head, and face. Focus on massaging the scalp thoroughly, including the entire crown, forehead, ears, temples, behind the ears, and neck area.

THE MARMA POINTS

Target five marma points on the scalp known for their ability to alleviate modern-day stressors and influence pranic flow:

• Kapala (hairline)
• Brahmarandhra (top of the head)
• Murdhni (vertex of the scalp)
• Shivarandhra (upper midline of the scalp)
• Manyamula (occiput)

Marma points therapy is a traditional Ayurvedic massage technique believed to sustain energy flow. Massage each marma gently in a clockwise motion for up to 5 minutes, avoiding vigorous rubbing. Allow the hair oil to remain for at least an hour or two before washing the hair.
