Panchakarma therapy or Shodhana should be done before doing Takradhara.
The duration of Takradhara is 1 and a half hours, but it’s always recommended to start with minimum time and gradually increase time daily under a physician’s guidances. While doing Takradhara Pathya -Apathya should be followed like keeping the mind in a happy state, abstaining from all actions that give pain and distress to the body, the limit of speech, inclination to delights of taste, and control over the sense like Brahma jnani.

Takradhara is highly effective in:

1. Prevention of Akala palitham(premature greying of hair)
2. Anidra (Insomnia)
3. Minimizing Klama(fatigue)
4. Reduce Siroruja(head ache)
5. Ojokshaya (reduced body immunity)
6. Karacharanaparisthodana (pricking pain over palms and feet)
7. Mutradosha (disorders related with urinary system)
8. Sandi visladhatvam (laxity of joints)
9. Shiroroga ( disorders of head)
10. Karna roga (disorders of ear)
11. .Netra roga (disorders of eye)
