Takradhara is quite similar to the Ayurvedic Shirodhara treatment, except that buttermilk is poured on the person head instead of medicated oils. In Sanskrit, thakra means buttermilk. The buttermilk is blended with certain medicinal herbs depending on the individual’s treatment requirements.

Takradhara is a cooling and refreshing ayurvedic therapy which is very effective in the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis. It also helps treat a variety of health conditions such as high blood pressure, insomnia, and premature hair graying.
