Warm water,
Warm cows milk,
Bath salt, and
Bath salt with the same viscosity as
sesame oil.
1.Result
Parameters Monitored
Blood pressure (continuous blood pressure
monitoring, ANS508 by Nippon Colin Co., Ltd.)
Intermittent blood pressure (automatic
sphygmomanometer, Paramatek GP303S)
Electrocardiogram (ECG),
R-R intervals
Expired gas analysis (MetaMax from Marcotek Co.,
Ltd.),
Impedance cardiography (Nicoview from NEC),
EEG (F3, F4, P3, P4, or 16 points electrodes;
Neurofax by Nihon Kohden Co.,Ltd.).
Results
Active resulted but not control process in
1. The heart rate decreased in 5 min
2. CO2 excretion and tidal volume also decreased
. Change of the EEG mapping due to Shirodhara, wave power dominance shifted from the occipital
region to the frontal region. After Shirodhara, -wave
activity was again dominant in the occipital region.
. For handlers, EEG handlers showed relative increase
in wave power and a relative decrease of -wave
power during the active experiments, whereas no
significant changes in control studies.
4. Physio-Psychological Changes
During Shirodhara by the Healing
Robot in Relation to Anxiety and
Altered States of Consciousness (ASC)
The oil used was the same plain coldpressed preheated sesame oil
The mode of dripping sesame oil was as
follows:
oil temperature: 39.0 0.2 C
oil flow: 2.3 0.2 L/min dripping pattern: 5
min each for eight knot, horizontal, and
vertical, then another 4 min for each.
The nozzle of oil moved at the slowest
4. Result
Result indicated that Shirodhara induced
loss-of-time perception and altered time
recognition of the brain.
ASC scores
Change of lifestye
One subject cut his tobacco from 60
to 15 cigarettes per day.
Arrhythmia of the patient improved.
Another female controlled her eating
habit.
5. Results
Compared with facial packs of algae for
relaxation
Anxiety decreased abruptly in Shirodhara
(p<0.005, Wilcoxon signed rank test) whereas
for algae it wasnt as large (p<0.05).
Ten with a high state of anxiety (>40) had
successive Shirodhara treatments four times
every week. The result indicated a significant
decrease of tension and anxiety (Wilcoxon
signed rank test, p <0.05) and a tendency
towards a decrease in exhaustion.
Conclusion
Active Shirodhara shows better
results than controlled one.
Sesame oil was best among the other
media.
Manual procedure is exactly
replicated by machine.
Shirodhara is very much effective.
