Copper Shirodhara Pot with Control Valve and Brass Chain by American Ayurveda

Copper Shirodhara Pot with Control Valve for Ayurvedic Oil Therapy

If you practice or want to try traditional Ayurvedic oil therapy, you need a vessel that holds your herbal oil and releases it at a steady, adjustable rate. The American Ayurveda Copper Shirodhara Pot with Control Valve is made for exactly that. It is a hanging copper vessel with a brass control valve at the base and a brass chain for hanging, built for use at home or in a practice.

Why a Copper Shirodhara Vessel?

Shirodhara comes from two Sanskrit words, shiro (head) and dhara (flow). In Ayurvedic tradition it is one of the therapies of Panchakarma, in which herbal oil is dripped in a continuous stream over the forehead or other parts of the body. The vessel used for it, also known as a shirodhara yantra or dhara patra, has to hold the oil, let it drip at a consistent rate, and allow the rate to be changed. This copper pot is designed to do all three.

Built for Everyday Use

• Adjustable control valve: turn the brass valve to set the drip to the speed you prefer
• Brass chain: hang the pot from a stand at the height your setup needs (stand not included)
• Copper construction: the pot body, handles and rivets are made from pure copper
• Four sizes: choose the capacity that suits your routine or treatment room
• Home or practice: suited to personal use and to Ayurvedic practitioners and spas

Sizes and Capacities

Brazed, Not Soldered

Many Shirodhara pots attach the valve with a lead-tin solder, which is a temporary joint that can loosen or leak over time. American Ayurveda has been making Shirodhara pots for more than 10 years, and in every pot we make the brass control valve is brass welded to the copper body, a technique also called brazing. This gives a permanent joint that is tin and lead free, so your oil does not come into contact with solder.
