Six Senses Fort Barwara, Rajasthan

Originally built in the 14th century as a regal fort, the property is an architectural marvel meticulously transformed into a sanctuary of well-being, seamlessly blending heritage with holistic wellness.
Dr Neeru Jain, Spa Wellness Director, Six Senses Fort Barwara shares insights on how we are addressing the summer season at the property, through Ayurveda.
For the summer season, we offer our guests the holistic benefits of Takradhara, an ancient Ayurvedic treatment that utilizes a continuous stream of medicated buttermilk poured over the third eye point (in between the eyebrows). Derived from the Sanskrit words takra (buttermilk) and dhara (stream), this therapy offers a deeply relaxing experience that nurtures both body and mind.
Buttermilk is known for its cooling properties, and hence, Takradhara helps relax the mind and reduce mental stress, making it an ideal treatment for those seeking relief from the pressures of modern life. The therapeutic effects of Takradhara extend beyond relaxation as due to its pitta balancing properties, Takradhara is a potential Ayurvedic treatment to prevent hair greying, reduce headaches, improve digestive power, and alleviate anorexia. It is also highly beneficial for insomnia, anxiety, depression, and other stress-related ailments specially anger issues – a typical pitta aggravation.
How it works?
The pouring of buttermilk stimulates and soothes the hypothalamus, regulating the functions of the pituitary gland and inducing sleep. This process helps balance the body’s systems, promoting overall health and well-being. Spiritually, the third eye is a center for higher awareness, and hence, it brings an automated balance and clarity to the receiver.
Whether you’re looking to unwind from daily stressors or simply pamper yourself with a cooling treatment this summer, Takradhara offers a rejuvenating experience that harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit. Experience its restorative benefits and embark on a cooling journey to inner peace and vitality.
