Shirodhara Therapy To Treat Infertility:
Scientists are recognizing the relationship between what Eastern cultures have referred to as the ‘third eye’, and the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands– situated deep inside the brain. The exact area Ayurveda has always identified as the seat of the third eye, and which is the focal point during Blissful Mind Massage therapy.
The hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands are in charge of the production of most of the hormones in the body—including reproductive hormones. The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a very important reproductive hormone secreted from the pituitary gland into the bloodstream. In women, FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovary before the release of an egg at ovulation. Without FSH ovarian follicles do not grow properly and do not release an egg, thus leading to infertility. In men, FSH is required for proper development of the testes and sperm production. Normal levels of FSH are needed for fertility in both men and women. When FSH is either too high or too low it will greatly lower chances of pregnancy.
Raised levels of FSH are a sign of malfunction in the ovary or testes. In a female it indicates that she is entering menopause, even during fertile years.
Diminished secretion of FSH manifests in males as failure in production of normal numbers of sperm. In females, cessation of reproductive cycles is commonly observed.
Now that we know all this, it is no wonder that Ayurveda treats infertility and so many hormonal imbalances focusing on the head with shirodhara therapy.
Specific medicated oils, or milk products, are used, along with head massage and a rhythmic movement of the liquid over the forehead to bring the mind into a meditative-like state. This process stimulates the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands—third eye— and creates proper communication between the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands to secrete adequate amounts of hormones, including FSH.
Clinical studies are proving that the positive outcomes are indeed linked to the stimulation of the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands, which are responsible for many important functions in the body. These three major glands of the endocrine system are situated in the part of the brain where Eastern traditions have long believed the third eye resides.
The hypothalamus is the link between the endocrine and nervous systems. It helps stimulate or inhibit heart rate and blood pressure, body temperature, fluid and electrolyte balance, appetite and body weight, production of substances that influence the pituitary gland to release hormones and sleep cycles, among others. The pituitary gland secretes hormones that help control body processes such as growth, blood pressure, aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, breast milk production, sex organ functions, thyroid gland function, the conversion of food into energy (metabolism), water balance, temperature regulation and pain relief. And the pineal gland secretes the hormone melatonin, which has two primary functions—to help control biological rhythm and regulate certain reproductive hormones. Aiding in the proper development and functioning of the ovaries and testes.
It is important to be able to explain the scientific meaning behind this healing Ayurvedic therapy powerhouse.
