Abhyanga and Mardana ( massage ) is one of the oldest kind of treatment known to mankind. Shiroabhyanga or head massage is the best method to apply oil to the scalp and hair.

Ayurvedic oil should be applied after warming. Pour oil into a bowl and place this in hot water to warm it to a comfortable temperature. Make sure the oil is comfortable to touch before application. Take sufficient amount of oil and using the pads of finger apply oil little by little to different parts of the scalp. It is not advisable to use much force. Allow the oil to seep into the scalp. Massaging with circulation motion is recommended. When performing massage, slow and purposeful movements will relax the nervous system and calm the mind, where as steady and brisk movement will enhance circulation and energy. It is sensible to mix both type of movements.

Leave the oil on the scalp to the desired amount of time, this is dictated by the viciated dosha, time of application, severity of disease and the season of application. The oil can even be left over night for better results. It is also desirable to apply oil to the ears, inside of both foot and back of scalp. A towel dipped in hot water can be warped around the head for added conditioning and softening of hair.

Washing the hair with natural gentle shampoo is advocated to remove the oil. Thali powder is a herbal shampoo powder with no chemicals can be used regularly to wash the hair. The process can be repeated according to disease conditions and viciated dosha.

Commonly used ayurvedic hair oils are Trichup oil, Dhathri hair oil, Sesa oil, Nutrich oil and Neelibhringadi coconut oil.
