Ksheeradhara – Medicated Milk Therapy

What is Ksheeradhara – Medicated Milk Therapy?

Ksheeradhara is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy where warm medicated milk (ksheera) is poured in a continuous stream over the forehead or body. The milk is infused with specific herbs based on your dosha and health condition, offering both nourishment and a cooling, calming effect.

This therapy works primarily on the nervous system and mind. It soothes mental stress, supports emotional balance, and helps regulate hormones. The combination of warmth and herbal properties in the milk penetrates deeply into the skin and tissues, promoting relaxation, stability, and healing.

At House of Arogya, Ksheeradhara is customized to each individual and can be used on its own or as part of a detox, rejuvenation, or mental wellness program.
