Caption: Udaipur, Rajasthan, India - May 2003. A therapist at the Banyan Tree Spa at Oberoi's resort Udaivilas performs Shirodhara on a guest. Originating in India over 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is a health discipline that seeks to balance mind, body and spirit through food, yoga, mediation and treatment. Shirodhara involves pouring warm herbal oil onto the patients head in a rythmic fashion and is believed to cure head- and skin-related disorders such as insomnia, migraine, stress and paralysis.
