Takra means buttermilk and dhara is a stream. The physiological benefits of Thakradhara Ayurvedic Treatment are very similar to those of Shirodhara. However, the major difference is the use of medicated buttermilk along with other ayurvedic oils
The medicated buttermilk (similar to the Sirodhara treatment) will be poured continuously onto the forehead or over the entire body.
