Shiras is nothing but different types of Vayu. Controlling Vayu
is almost catching the bull by its horns; all the activities in the
body will fall in line.

5. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) it is a monoamine transmitter called 5
hydroxy tryptophan and is derived from tryptophan
was originally identified in 1948 as the brain substance that caused
peripheral vasoconstriction
neurotransmitter,three areas-neuroendocrine functions,circadian rhythm and
feeding behaviour
regulation of adrenocorticotropin,prolactin,growth hormone
it regulates stress induced elevation of CRH /circadian periodicity of hypothalamic-
pituitary axis
sensory processing, motor activity, cognition and emotion
Serotonin has been studied widely as a modulator of emotional
reactivity,anxiety, aggression and impulse regulating behavior by tuning
brain reactivity to negative stimuli is critical for maintaining a balance
between adaptive and maladaptive reactions.

8. -lipid medium drugs
-mass,time of contact,heat -40-42 degree
-epidermal cells,sebacious duct,hair follicles,sweat gland-
have more absorption
-potential energy converted into kinetic energy-siro dhara
thickness,height,uniformity of dhara should be maintained
savasana is best posture ,pindrop silence is good
externally applied dravyas undergo pachana by brajaka
pitta,veerya of drug absorbed through romakoopa and
dhamanis and circulated all over the body

9. neurodegenerative diseases – including amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, parkinsons
syndrome
Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia that it
reduces circulating serotonin levels and is associated with volume loss in frontal
and limbic brain regions, 5-HTTLPR-s could be a risk factor for bvFTD,

10. studies proved that siro dhara playes a very important
role in bradykinesia in parkinson's diseases

13. serotonergic neurones and their receptors are now
widely use in treatment of depression,anxiety
disorder,schizophrenia,parkinsonism and alzheimer's

14. -axiolytic effect
-feeding aspect helps in the diatery modification of depression
-evidenced by decrease in Plasma noradrenaline
and urinary serotonin excretion,
-significant decrease in rate of breathing,
-reduction in diastolic blood pressure
and heart rate
-lowered sympathetic tone.
decreased serotonin levels directly linked with migraine

15. The master gland Pituitary gland and the hypothalamus
associated with many physical and mental functions
are located in the head. When all these are relaxed, the
body functions including the heart functions take
place in a relaxed manner. The circulation of blood and
nutrients take place in a proper way. The peripheral
resistance is reduced. The channels of the body open
up. The cells start flushing the toxins and overall
metabolism gets improved.

16. Diseases like hypertension,
When we get de-stressed the psychosomatic balance is established. moordhabalam
The brain will start controlling the body mechanics in a better and efficient way
Chitta Nasha and Bhaya – The injury of Seemantha Marma (joints of the
skull) is said to cause Chitta Nasha . Thus when the same Marma is healed
through Dhara and other Moordha taila procedures, it may reverse the
Chitta Nasha and Bhaya, i.e. it might relieve stress, anxiety and depression.
With this the relaxed nervous system will take care of heart functions and
circulation patterns.

17. -Enhancing blood supply and nutrition to brain -especially sirodhara
-EEG-signal modification
-Pressure and Temperature effect – The pressure and temperature effect of
the medicament used in the Moordha Taila.
sirodhara potential endergy converted into kinetic enery.
Healing Marmas might communicate Marmas Apanga, Avarta, Shanka,
Utkshepa, Seemantha and Sthapani Marma’s with which the medicaments
comes into contact with.
Most of these Marma’s are related to the eye and blood circulation to the
brain. By activating the Marma’s Murdhni Taila treatment procedures might
make a strong impact on the functioning of central nervous system and
important glands within the brain.

18. Revitilizing the nervous system
smoothening endocrine glands and nervous system
-proper functioning of vyana vayu,ranjaka pitta ,and
avalambaka kapha in turn results in proper circulation
and core metabolism
