Aschothana: A Unique Ayurvedic Eye Therapy at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

Aschothana is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy for eye care offered at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital. This gentle procedure involves the continuous pouring of medicated liquids over the open eyes from a specific height, aiming to cleanse, nourish, and soothe the delicate eye structures.

Importance of Aschothana

This therapy provides multiple benefits:

  • Cleanses the Eyes: Effectively removes dust, pollen, and other irritants.
  • Soothes and Moisturizes: Relieves tiredness, irritation, and dryness in the eyes.
  • Reduces Eye Strain: Alleviates discomfort caused by extended computer use, reading, or driving.
  • Improves Vision: Enhances visual clarity and reduces eye fatigue.
  • Vata Pacification: Balances Vata dosha, addressing conditions like dry eye syndrome and other ocular discomforts.

Indications for Aschothana

Aschothana is particularly effective for:

  • Dry Eyes: Provides relief from dryness, burning sensations, and irritation.
  • Eye Strain: Reduces fatigue from prolonged visual activities.
  • Conjunctivitis: Helps in mild cases of conjunctivitis (red eye).
  • Foreign Body Sensation: Relieves discomfort caused by the sensation of a foreign object in the eye.
