Thakradhara
Skin Treatment
Thakradhara is a renowned Ayurvedic skin treatment in Sharjah that involves the continuous application of medicated buttermilk on the forehead. This soothing therapy is known for its ability to reduce stress, anxiety, and insomnia while promoting deep relaxation and skin health.​​
Derived from two Sanskrit words—"Thakra" (buttermilk) and "Dhara" (continuous flow)—this treatment is a well-known Ayurvedic insomnia remedy in Sharjah. It is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing mental stress, poor sleep, and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
How Thakradhara Works
The Thakradhara process begins with the preparation of medicated buttermilk, enriched with Ayurvedic herbs such as:
✔ Sandalwood – Cooling and calming properties
✔ Rose petals – Hydrating and anti-inflammatory benefits
✔ Turmeric – Antiseptic and skin-healing properties
✔ Neem leaves – Purifying and antibacterial effects
​
The warmed medicated buttermilk is gently poured in a rhythmic stream onto the forehead using a dhara pot. This 30-45 minute therapy allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin and nervous system, inducing relaxation and rejuvenation.
