Dhara Therapies in Ayurveda

(Prista Dhara | Dhaniamal Dhara | Pradesika Dhara | Kashaya Dhara | Takradhara)

Dhara is one of Ayurveda’s most powerful and soothing therapeutic techniques, where a continuous stream of medicated liquid—such as warm herbal oils, buttermilk, decoctions, or milk—is gently poured over specific body parts in a rhythmic manner. Each type of Dhara therapy is uniquely designed to heal and rejuvenate the body and mind.

At Jeevadhara, our Dhara treatments are carefully customized according to your body type (dosha), health condition, and wellness goals.
