Tips for Setting up and Maintaining Ajara<br />

<strong>Shirodhara</strong> Equipment<br />

• Attach the shelving to the stand before assembling the rest of the unit.<br />

• Tighten the union joints with wrenches as you put each piece together.<br />

• If the arm of the stand is sticking in the joint, wipe it with Vaseline.<br />

• Place the slider and chain on the arm of the shirodhara stand last.<br />

• Be sure the hole in your pot is free from debris by running a pipe cleaner<br />

in the valve before the first use and between each use. Hair can get<br />

caught in the valve during the treatment as well. It is a good idea to have<br />

something rigid nearby to run through the hole in this case.<br />

• If using the shirodhara pump, insert the tubing into the hose clamp provided,<br />

then attach the tubing to the pump. Tighten the hose clamp down<br />

with a screw driver so that the tubing adheres to the pump.<br />

• Place the electric burner on the shelving, and your oil into the pitcher.<br />

Place the oil on the heater approximately 10 minutes before the shirodhara<br />

will begin. If using a pump DO NOT PLACE THE PUMP IN THE<br />

OIL YET. Turn the burner to the highest setting for about 1 minute. The<br />

turn the burner completely off. Wait 10 minutes. Your oil should be to the<br />

proper temperature for a warm shirodhara treatment. You may now place<br />

the pump in the oil.<br />

•If using the pump, wrap the tubing around the stand and insert as shown, avoiding kinks. If your<br />

tubing has kinks in it, pinch the kink and bend it the opposite direction. This will round the hose.<br />

•Make sure the valve on the shirodhara pot is off. The lever should be turned upward. To open<br />

the valve, simply place the lever pointing downward.<br />

•When you start the oil, turn the dial on the burner to between the 0 and 1. Because the burner<br />

has a self regulating thermostat the light may not stay on during the entire treatment.<br />

•When finished, close the valve on the shirodhara pot, unplug the pump, and turn the burner off.<br />

•To keep your burner, pan and shirodhara pot clean, simply place a quarter sized dollop of liquid<br />

dish soap on a lightly damp sponge. Wipe down completely before rinsing with any water. Drain<br />

the pump, then set it in a bath of alcohol for 1-2 minutes to kill germs and remove oil residues.<br />

•To bring your stand back to a shine, scrub with a dry Heavy Duty Green Scotch Brite pad.
