Thakradhara in Kerala Ayurveda

Thakradhara

Dhara is a method of Kerala special treatment. Many such distinctive and excellent forms of treatments, not practiced in the other parts of India are conducted by the Kerala Physicians.

Thakra is dhara with buttermilk added with herbs. This is a cooling therapy to the head with medicated buttermilk, just as in the case of shirodhara.

This treatment is specific for  psychosomatic diseases such as insomnia, depression, psoriasis and other stress related problems.

This treatment prevents graying of  hair, reduces headaches, increases digestive power and alleviates anorexia. In cases of psoriasis, dhara is performed on the affected area to have a curative effect.
