Thalapothichil, also known as “Shirolepa,” is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy where a thick, cooling herbal paste is applied to the scalp. This therapy is especially effective for calming the mind, soothing the scalp, and relieving conditions caused by excess Pitta (heat) in the body. The herbal paste, made from ingredients like Amla (Indian gooseberry), buttermilk, and medicinal herbs, helps nourish the scalp, relaxes the mind, and promotes mental clarity.
