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.
