Ayurvedic Therapy for Eye Rejuvenation
In today’s fast-paced digital era, our eyes endure immense strain due to prolonged screen exposure, pollution, and stress. Ayurveda, the ancient science of holistic healing, offers a rejuvenating therapy known as Netra Tarpana – an effective eye treatment that nourishes, strengthens, and revitalizes the eyes naturally.
What is Netra Tarpana?
Netra Tarpana is an Ayurvedic eye therapy that involves bathing the eyes in medicated ghee (clarified butter) to soothe, rejuvenate, and enhance vision. The word ‘Netra’ means ‘eye,’ and ‘Tarpana’ means ‘nourishment.’ This therapy is especially beneficial for individuals suffering from dry eyes, eye strain, dark circles, blurred vision, and other eye-related issues.
The Procedure of Netra Tarpana
The Netra Tarpana procedure is performed under expert Ayurvedic supervision and follows these key steps:
- Preparation: The individual lies comfortably in a relaxed position, and the therapist prepares a dough ring made from black gram flour (Urad dal) around the eyes to create a boundary.
- Application of Medicated Ghee: Lukewarm medicated ghee, infused with Ayurvedic herbs, is gently poured into the dough ring until it covers the eyes completely.
- Therapeutic Rest: The individual keeps their eyes open and submerged in the ghee for a specific duration (15-30 minutes), allowing the therapeutic properties to penetrate deeply.
- Removal & Cleansing: After the therapy, the ghee is drained, and the eyes are cleansed with herbal water.
- Post-Therapy Care: The patient is advised to rest their eyes, avoid direct exposure to bright lights, and refrain from screen use for a few hours.
Benefits of Netra Tarpana
Netra Tarpana offers a wide range of benefits for overall eye health:
- Relieves Dry Eyes: Ideal for individuals suffering from computer vision syndrome and prolonged screen usage, this therapy deeply hydrates the eyes.
- Reduces Eye Strain & Fatigue: The cooling and lubricating effect of medicated ghee relaxes the ocular muscles, reducing strain caused by reading, driving, or excessive screen exposure.
- Improves Vision & Clarity: Regular sessions help improve eyesight and prevent age-related degeneration.
- Reduces Dark Circles & Puffiness: The nourishing properties of ghee improve blood circulation, reducing dark circles and eye puffiness.
- Prevents Eye Disorders: Beneficial for conditions like cataracts, night blindness, and early-stage glaucoma.
- Soothes Burning Sensation & Redness: Especially useful for individuals exposed to pollution, chemicals, or environmental irritants.
Who Should Consider Netra Tarpana?
This therapy is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Frequent eye strain due to prolonged screen time
- Dry, itchy, or irritated eyes
- Blurry vision or difficulty focusing
- Dark circles, puffiness, or premature wrinkles around the eyes
- Exposure to excessive heat, dust, or pollution
- Stress-induced eye fatigue
- Night blindness or early signs of vision problems
Contraindications: Who Should Avoid It?
