Hands On Shirodhara Treatment - Promolife

How to use the Shirodhara Oil Pump
1
Wrap the vinyl hose around the shaft of the shirodhara
stand. Once the tubing reaches the level of the top of
the copper pot, run the tubing through one of the rings
on the chain going from the outside toward the inside.
Next, bring the tubing to the other side of the shirodhara
pot, near the opposite ring. Insert the tubing
into the opposite ring from the OUTSIDE toward
the inside. The end of the tubing should now
be pointing into the shirodhara pot, and the pot
should be hanging mostly level.

Slide the tubing through both rings until it curls up in
the bottom of the shirodhara pot. Make sure that the
tubing around the stand is not hanging anywhere near
the client’s head or in the way of the shirodhara stream.
Flatten the tubing so the oil will run smoothly. Avoid
kinking the tube anywhere along the way.
Open the intake vent on the pump all the way, so that the lever runs horizontally.
Submerge the pump in the warm oil and adhere the suction cup feet to
the bottom of the pot. Make sure the pump is completely covered with oil, or it
will make noise, and then stop running properly. Turn the pump on by plugging
it into the wall. The pump will make a slight whirring noise at first while
it is getting started, and then will be quiet. Once the oil has been running for a
minute or two, you may choose to close the intake vent slightly so the oil runs
slower. Monitor the oil level throughout the treatment. For someone with very
long or porous hair, more oil may need to be added during the treatment.
