Today, I would like to introduce you to a very peculiar, traditional Ayurvedic treatment: Dhanyamla Dhara.
You probably already know that Dhara – as in Shirodhara – means something is ‘poured’ onto the body, whether it is an oil, a liquid or another substance like buttermilk. In the case of Dhanyamla, the liquid is a dynamic blend of Navara rice, horse gram, citrus or dried amla fruit and herbs like ginger and turmeric, among others. After fermentation for several days, the liquid will have become slightly acidic. This process increases the therapeutic potency or strength of the synergy of the ingredients. Its smell will likely remind you of light vinegar.
When do you need Dhanyamla Dhara?
Dhanyamala Dhara is particularly for you if you suffer from:
- Inflammatory conditions
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Muscle stiffness or pain
- Obesity
- Neurological disorders
This traditional Ayurvedic pouring technique promotes relaxation, supports detoxification, reduces pain and inflammation and helps restore balance in the body and mind.
How is the procedure?
For this form of dhara therapy, we first use a special vessel, called kindi, specifically designed for Ayurvedic treatments. Next, the herbal liquid mixture is carefully prepared and poured into four kindis. During the treatment, the therapist then gently pours the warm dhara liquid from these vessels repeatedly onto different parts of the patient’s body. The flow follows a unique pattern and rhythm.
Can I book it?
As Dhanyamala Dhara is a special treatment that is offered as part of our Panchakarma or rejuvenation programs, it is not available as a standalone booking. We recommend this treatment usually for 3 or more consecutive days to experience its full benefits.
