Six Senses Fort Barwala, Rajasthan

Set amidst the picturesque Rajasthan landscape and offering panoramic views of the Aravalli mountain ranges and the revered Chaut Mata temple, Six Senses Fort Barwala stands as a symbol of timeless elegance and rejuvenation. Originally built as a royal fort in the 14th century, the property is an architectural marvel that has been meticulously renovated into a health sanctuary where tradition and holistic wellness seamlessly blend.

Dr Neil Jain, Spa Wellness Director at Six Senses Fort Barwala, shares his insights on how the property is approaching the summer season through Ayurveda.

During the summer months, guests can enjoy the holistic benefits of Takradhara, an ancient Ayurvedic treatment that involves the continuous pouring of medicated buttermilk onto the third eye (between the eyebrows). Derived from the Sanskrit words takra (buttermilk) and dhara (flow), the therapy provides a deeply relaxing experience that soothes the body and mind.

Buttermilk is known for its cooling effect, which is why Takladhara helps relax the mind and reduce mental stress, making it an ideal remedy for those who want to unwind from the pressures of modern life. The therapeutic benefits of Takladhara go beyond relaxation. Due to its pitta balancing properties, Takladhara has many promising Ayurvedic remedies such as preventing greying of hair, reducing headaches, improving digestion and easing loss of appetite. It is also highly effective in treating insomnia, anxiety, depression and other stress-related ailments, especially anger issues (a typical pitta aggravation).

How it works?

Pouring buttermilk stimulates and calms the hypothalamus, regulates pituitary function, and induces sleep. This process balances the body’s systems and promotes overall health and well-being. Spiritually, the third eye is the center of higher consciousness, and therefore automatically brings balance and clarity to the recipient.

Whether you are looking to escape the stresses of everyday life or simply pamper yourself with a cool treatment this summer, Takladhara offers a rejuvenating experience that harmonizes the body, mind and soul. Experience its restorative effects and embark on a cool journey to inner peace and vitality.
