Netra Tarpana: A Unique Ayurvedic Eye Therapy at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

Netra Tarpana is a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating Ayurvedic therapy offered at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital. This traditional treatment involves gently pooling medicated ghee or oil around the eyes while the patient relaxes in a calm, focused state. It is a time-tested approach for nourishing and revitalizing the eyes.

Importance of Netra Tarpana

This therapy offers numerous benefits for overall eye health:

  • Deep Nourishment: Provides essential nourishment to delicate eye structures such as the cornea, conjunctiva, and eyelids.
  • Relieves Dryness and Irritation: Soothes and moisturizes the eyes, alleviating dryness, irritation, and burning sensations.
  • Reduces Eye Strain: Relieves fatigue caused by prolonged screen time, reading, or driving.
  • Improves Vision: Enhances visual clarity and reduces eye fatigue.
  • Calms the Mind: Creates a meditative, relaxing experience that reduces stress and promotes mental tranquility.
  • Vata Pacification: Balances Vata dosha, which is often associated with dryness and discomfort in the eyes.

Netra Tarpana is particularly effective for:

  • Dry Eyes: Reduces excessive dryness, irritation, and burning sensations.
  • Eye Strain: Alleviates discomfort caused by prolonged visual activities like computer use or reading.
  • Mild Conjunctivitis: Helps manage mild cases of conjunctivitis (red eye).
  • Vata-Related Eye Disorders: Addresses conditions linked to Vata imbalance, such as dry eye syndrome and certain types of eye pain.

Mode of Action

Netra Tarpana rejuvenates the eyes through a multifaceted approach:

  • Deep Nourishment: The medicated ghee or oil deeply penetrates and revitalizes eye tissues.

2. During Treatment:

  • The patient reclines comfortably with eyes closed.
  • Medicated ghee or oil is gently pooled around the eyes using a specially designed container.
  • The patient is encouraged to relax and focus on breathing, allowing the treatment to take effect.
