Netra Tarpana

Netra Tarpana is an Ayurvedic therapy focused on eye care. Warm medicated ghee is retained over the eyes within a dough boundary. This deeply rejuvenating process hydrates the eyes, removes toxins, reduces strain, and improves vision. It’s beneficial for digital fatigue, dryness, and early signs of eye degeneration.

Netra Tarpana helps improve vision, reduces dryness and irritation, relieves headaches, and eases symptoms of computer vision syndrome. It strengthens ocular nerves, nourishes eye tissues, and supports better sleep. Regular sessions promote mental clarity and emotional balance due to its calming effect on the nervous system.

This treatment is ideal for individuals with dry eyes, excessive screen exposure, blurry vision, dark circles, eye strain, or chronic headaches. It’s also recommended for those seeking preventative eye care or suffering from early signs of degenerative eye conditions. An Ayurvedic consultation ensures it suits your constitution.

Yes, when administered by trained Ayurvedic therapists, Netra Tarpana is a safe, non-invasive therapy. However, it’s not advised during acute eye infections, conjunctivitis, or severe inflammation. A proper consultation ensures suitability based on your eye health, current medications, and general constitution before initiating treatment.

The main substance used is warm, herbally-infused ghee (clarified butter), customized to your dosha and eye condition. It’s held over the eyes using a dough ring made from black gram flour or whole wheat flour, creating a reservoir that allows the ghee to penetrate and heal ocular tissues.

Netra Tarpana supports long-term visual health and may improve certain vision parameters with consistent sessions, especially in early-stage strain or fatigue. However, it is not a substitute for corrective eyewear or surgery. It complements conventional care by nourishing eye tissues and enhancing overall ocular function.

A typical session lasts around 30 to 40 minutes. This includes preparation, dough ring placement, ghee application, and gentle eye movements within the ghee. Afterward, gentle cleansing and resting are essential. A series of sessions may be advised for cumulative benefits depending on your eye health.

Frequency depends on your eye condition and wellness goals. For general rejuvenation, once a month is sufficient. For chronic issues, 5 to 7 sessions may be advised in succession. It’s often recommended as part of a broader Panchakarma or seasonal detox plan for maximum benefit.

This therapy should not be self-administered. It requires skilled hands, precise temperature control, and knowledge of herbal ghee composition. Performing it incorrectly can cause eye discomfort or harm. Always consult trained Ayurvedic professionals for safe and effective therapy in a clinical or wellness setting.

Post-treatment, expect improved eye clarity, reduced strain, and a sense of deep calm. Some may experience slight blurring for a few minutes, which quickly resolves. Avoid direct sunlight, digital screens, or intense activity immediately afterward. Follow all post-therapy care instructions for optimal healing and comfort.
