Karana Purana: Ayurvedic Ear Therapy

Karana Purana (also known as Karnapoorana) is a traditional Ayurvedic treatment in which warm, medicated oil or liquid is gently poured into the ear canal. This therapy soothes and nourishes the ear structures and provides a range of therapeutic benefits, both physical and mental.

  2. Strengthens Ear Structures: Nourishes the ear canal, tympanic membrane, and middle ear, promoting better hearing and ear health.
  3. Calming Effect: Reduces stress and aids in psychological wellness, helping with conditions like sleeplessness, depression, and migraines.
  4. Prevents Ear Infections: Regular use can help prevent ear infections by cleansing and lubricating the ear canal.
  5. Supports Balance: Helps relieve balance-related issues, including dizziness, vertigo, and nausea.
