What spa treatment involves running warm oil on the center of the forehead?

• A. Aromatherapy massage
• B. Microcurrent therapy
• C. Ayurvedic treatments
• D. Hydrotherapy

Answer: (C)

Running warm oil on the center of the forehead is Shirodhara, a classic treatment in Ayurveda. In this therapy, a steady stream of warm medicated oil is poured over the forehead, typically targeting the third eye area to calm the mind and nervous system, promote deep relaxation, and help balance the body's doshas, especially vata. This makes it distinct from other spa modalities: aromatherapy massage uses essential oils during a massage, microcurrent therapy relies on electrical stimulation, and hydrotherapy uses water in baths or jets. Ayurvedic treatments encompass Shirodhara, which is why this option is the best fit.
