Oil saturation treatment for head, brain, and central nervous system: This head treatment, given consecutively for several days, calms and protects the entire brain, central nervous system, and spinal column and draws out the toxins. Shirobasti also has a powerfully relaxing influence on the mind. "Shirobasti mainly makes the vata to leave [eradicates vitiated vata] in the head and brain, which is the main controlling point of the body. In ayurveda head is considered uktamanga—the best part of the body. So when we treat the head, then it clears out all the things [benefits all areas]." Dr. Krishna Raju
