Netra Tharpanam
Netra Tharpanam is a specialized Ayurvedic ocular treatment designed to rejuvenate the eyes and improve visual clarity.
What is Netra Tharpanam?
Netra Tharpanam is a therapeutic procedure where a reservoir of warm, medicated ghee (Ghrita) is retained over the eyes for a specific duration. It is one of the “Kriyakalpas” (specialized treatments) in Ayurveda dedicated specifically to Shalakya Tantra (Ophthalmology).
How It Works
The treatment utilizes the lipophilic (fat soluble) nature of medicated ghee. Because the corneal epithelium is lipid-friendly, the medicinal properties of the ghee penetrate deep into the ocular tissues. This process nourishes the optic nerve, lubricates the lacrimal apparatus, and balances Alochaka Pitta, the sub-dosha responsible for visual perception.
Who This Is For?
Netra Tharpanam is ideal for individuals experiencing ocular discomfort or those looking to preserve long-term vision.
- Digital Professionals: Those suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) due to prolonged screen time.
- Dry Eye Sufferers: Individuals with insufficient tear production or chronic redness.
- Vision Correction Seekers: People with early-stage myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness).
- Aging Adults: Those looking to prevent or manage degenerative conditions like cataracts or macular degeneration.
- Active Students: To reduce eye fatigue during intensive periods of study.
Conditions Treated
This therapy provides measurable relief for several clinical conditions.
- Shushkakshipaka: Chronic Dry Eye Syndrome.
- Timira: Early-stage refractive errors and blurred vision.
- Vartma Roga: Inflammatory conditions of the eyelids.
- Abhishyanda: Sensitivity to light and environmental pollutants.
- Optic Atrophy: Strengthening the nerves for better signal transmission.
