This elevated system carries classical Indian lines and features touch controls, a built-in basin and headrest combination, a self-administration option, and the unique benefit of letting you treat clients on massage tables, in beds, and on other functional platforms. A dedicated system for the treatment room, it ships with a ShiroMat and three hammocks, which attach to the basin and cradle the client's head during treatment.
 
The Essence is an expression of excellence in form and function. Where the Elite is built for portability, the Essence is built for the treatment room that makes a statement — its classical lines speak to clients before the session begins, signaling that what they're about to receive is truly special.
 
At its heart is a virtually noiseless pump and heater module that holds a continuously flowing oil stream at precise, stable temperatures — so the only thing your client hears is stillness.

What's included
Everything you need for a complete treatment: the copper shirodhara bowl, a ShiroMat, three mesh hammocks for the headrest (launder between clients), and the remote control. 
Optional logo engraving, +$200 — a sophisticated finishing touch for the practice that attends to every detail
Optional voltage converter, +$80 USD (our systems run on 120V)
 
The display
The Essence's advanced digital readout gives you complete visibility throughout every session — current time, time elapsed, your target oil temperature, and actual oil temperature, all at a glance. Combined with smart temperature regulation and touch controls, the system handles the technical so you can stay fully present with your client.
 
Remote control & self-administration
Like the Elite, the Essence's remote lets the person receiving the treatment run it themselves — designed for practitioners who want to give themselves shirodhara, and for people who need frequent treatment without a helper on hand.
 
Keeping the system clean
The Essence is designed to be easy to maintain. Flush 1 cup of 99.9% isopropyl alcohol through the full system and let it drain completely via the bottom drain valve, then follow with a cup of inexpensive base oil to displace any residual alcohol before your next treatment. Wipe down surfaces with isopropyl alcohol and clean the shirodhara bowl with hot soapy water.
 
Warranty & care
Every ShiroBliss comes with a one-year warranty against manufacturing defects — because we stand behind what we build.
 
And because everything needs a tune-up now and then, we offer the ShiroBliss Basic Cleaning and Maintenance Service, recommended every 2–3 years depending on use.
 
Send us your unit and we'll open it up, replace the internal and external tubing, update the software, and give it first-rate care. While it's with us, we'll assess what — if anything — needs replacing and call you with a quote before doing the work. If there's an opportunity to upgrade, we'll let you know.
 
It's not just a machine. It's an investment in your practice, and we treat it that way.
 
For international customers
The Essence runs on 120V, standard in the United States. If you're ordering from outside the US, your country may use a different voltage standard — plugging directly into a higher-voltage outlet will damage the system. We can include a voltage converter for $80 USD; just let us know at checkout.
 
A note on customs: international orders travel with a commercial invoice declaring the shipment's value, and your country's customs authority will likely assess an import tax on that amount. Rates vary by country, so we recommend checking your local rate before ordering.

$75 flat rate within the continental US. For destinations outside the continental US, email us your address for a shipping quote.
