What Is Shiro Pichu? A Deep Dive into This Ayurvedic Head Treatment

Shiro Pichu is a therapeutic Ayurvedic procedure in which a cotton pad (pichu) dipped in warm herbal oil is placed on the crown of the head (the vertex). In Sanskrit, “Shiro” means head, and “Pichu” means cotton swab or pad, which is soaked in oil and then gently applied to the scalp. This technique belongs to a category of treatments called Murdhni Tailam — a group of therapies in Ayurveda where herbal oils are applied on the head to nourish the brain, sense organs, and central nervous system.

According to Ayurveda, the head is considered uttamangam (the prime organ of the body) and a major marma point. Since all five indriyas (sense organs — eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin) are located here, treating this area with therapeutic oils has a profound effect on overall well‑being.

How We Perform Shiro Pichu at Dhanwantari Ayurvedic Detox Center

At our Ayurvedic Detox Center, we follow a structured method for Shiro Pichu that blends ancient wisdom with personalized care. Each session involves several key stages:

1. Personalized Herbal Oil Selection

First, we select the most suitable herbal oils based on your dosha (body constitution) and current imbalance. Some commonly used oils include:

  • Brahmi Oil
  • Cheriya Bhringamalakadi Oil
  • Triphaldi Oil
  • Durvadi Oil
  • Nilibhringadi Sesame Oil
  • Kshirabala Oil
  • Kuntalakanti Oil
    These oils are therapeutically prepared to ensure deep nourishment, calm the nerves, and balance doshas such as Vata and Pitta.

2. Warm Herbal Oil Application

Next, we warm the chosen oil to a comfortable temperature and soak a cotton pad in it. Then, the oil‑soaked pad is placed directly on the top of your head, covering the scalp for maximum absorption. This allows the oil to deeply penetrate and rejuvenate the head, nourishing the sense organs and calming the nervous system.

3. Retention and Duration

The cotton pad remains on your head for about 30 minutes, during which time the oil is absorbed deeply. Meanwhile, you rest comfortably, allowing your nervous system to relax.

4. Post‑Care Cleansing

Once the session completes, we gently cleanse the scalp with green gram powder or herbal cleansers to remove any excess oil, while ensuring the nourishing effect remains. Then you leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Why Shiro Pichu Is More Than Just an Oil Treatment

Unlike simple oiling, Shiro Pichu works on multiple levels — physical, psychological, and energetic. This is because it targets the head region, which is the central hub of your nervous system. As a result, the therapy has a deep and calming influence on your entire body.
