SHIROPICCHU

This procedure is excellent for calming the mind and nourishing a tired or exhausted nervous system. Great for stress, anxiety, insomnia, headache, memory, neurological disorders, facial palsy, dermatitis, dandruff and skin disorders of the scalp.

You Will Need
Cotton wool balls
Gauze or muslin cloth
Black sesame, almond or medicated oil
Metal or ceramic bowl
Hot water
Hand towel for covering your pillow

Method
Tease out a cotton ball until it is a flat disk shape
Fold a length of gauze or muslin cloth (around 68cm wide and 30 cm long) around the disc of cotton wool until it is like a small square sandwich a little smaller than the palm or your hand
Pour the hot water from the kettle into the bowl and place a small bottle of the medicated oil into the water to warm
When the oil is warmer than body temperature (not too hot) soak the cotton pad with oil until it is like a sponge (if you squeeze it the oil spills out) and place on top of your head. If you were to draw a line from ear to ear over the top of your head it should be exactly mid way along this line.
Sit upright in a warm place for 15 minutes and either put on some quiet, relaxing music or simply bring your attention to your breath.
After 15 minutes remove the cotton pad and gently massage any excess oil into your scalp
If you are doing this procedure before bed, place the towel on your pillow to avoid staining it with oil and ensure your head does not get cold or exposed to any breeze during the night

Alternative: Instead of placing the cotton pad in top of your head, place it on your forehead just below the hair line and lie on your back to relax.
