Active components of Taila penetrate into the circulation via the forehead and produces the Vatahara effect and it also produces lubrication and nutrition. Brahmi is a medhya drug that has rasayana (rejuvenating), Medohara (anti-dyslipidemic), nidrajanana (sleep promoting), Shothahara (anti-inflammatory), chittodwegahara (anxiolytic) and hrudya (cardiographic) properties along with antihypertensive effects.

It also balances the vata and kapha dosha. Hence, Shirodhara facilitates better working through its Medhya effect and the continuous pouring of liquid in a relaxed and comfortable position has an additional benefit.

Materials used for Shirodhara should be comfortably warm which causes vasodilatation of all the channels and thereby improves their circulation which in turn improves the blood circulation of the Brain.
