What is Netra Tharpanam?

Netra Tharpanam is a rejuvenating Ayurvedic eye therapy where a ring of dough is gently placed around the eyes, creating a well. Warm, medicated ghee is then poured into this well, bathing the eyes and promoting deep relaxation and nourishment. 

This therapy aims to improve vision, soothe eye strain, and enhance overall eye health.

Why Choose Netra Tharpanam?

In our modern world, our eyes are constantly strained – from screens, pollution, and even just the demands of daily life. Netra Tharpanam is a deeply nourishing Ayurvedic therapy specifically designed to soothe, strengthen, and rejuvenate your eyes. Here’s why it’s unique:

  • Deeply Relaxing: The gentle procedure and use of warm medicated ghee induce a sense of calm and tranquility, relieving eye strain and mental fatigue.

  • Improves Eye Health: Netra Tharpanam nourishes and strengthens the eye muscles, improving circulation and promoting overall eye health.

  • Enhances Vision: By lubricating and cleansing the eyes, this therapy can help improve vision clarity and reduce eye dryness.

  • Alleviates Digital Eye Strain: Ideal for those who spend long hours in front of screens, reducing symptoms like dryness, irritation, and headaches.

  • Holistic Benefits: Beyond just the eyes, Netra Tharpanam can promote mental clarity, improve sleep, and reduce stress.

When is Netra Tharpanam Recommended?

This therapy is beneficial for a range of eye concerns and is often recommended for:

  • Computer Vision Syndrome (Digital Eye Strain): Dryness, irritation, blurred vision, headaches caused by prolonged screen use.

  • Eye Fatigue & Strain: From reading, driving, or other visually demanding tasks.

  • Dry Eye Syndrome: Inadequate tear production, leading to irritation and discomfort.

  • Early Stages of Age-Related Vision Changes: May help slow down age-related vision decline. Assists with treating glaucoma and cataracts at their earliest stages

How is Netra Tharpanam Performed?

  1. Consultation: An Ayurvedic practitioner will assess your eye health and concerns.

  2. Preparation: You’ll lie comfortably on your back.

  3. Creating the Dough Dam: A ring made from a special dough is gently placed around your eyes, creating a seal to hold the ghee.

  4. Warm Ghee Application: Medicated ghee (clarified butter), chosen for its specific properties, is warmed to a comfortable temperature.

  5. Gentle Pouring: The warm ghee is slowly and gently poured into the dough dams, bathing your eyes.

  6. Relaxation: You’ll be asked to open and close your eyes gently a few times while the ghee nourishes them.

  7. Removal: After the designated time (usually 15-20 minutes), the dough dams are carefully removed, and the excess ghee is gently wiped away.

Additional Information:

  • Duration: A typical Netra Tharpanam session lasts about 30-45 minutes.

  • Expected Results: Many people experience immediate relief from dryness and eye strain. With consistent treatments, you may notice improved vision clarity, reduced eye fatigue, and better sleep.

FAQs About Netra Tharpanam at Ayurbandhu

At Ayurbandhu, we prioritize your well-being using only the highest quality, medicated ghee specially prepared for Netra Tharpanam. These ghee formulations are often infused with herbs known for their soothing and nourishing effects on the eyes. Your practitioner will select the most suitable ghee based on your individual needs.

Though it may seem unusual, the warm ghee used in Netra Tharpanam is generally very soothing. We apply it at a comfortable temperature, and the sensation is often described as relaxing and pleasantly warm. .

The ideal frequency depends on your individual needs and concerns. For general eye health maintenance, a session once a month can be beneficial. However, for specific eye conditions or digital eye strain, your practitioner may recommend more frequent treatments initially.

It's best to avoid wearing contact lenses immediately after the treatment. Your practitioner will advise you on when it's safe to resume wearing them. This usually involves waiting a few hours to allow the ghee to be fully absorbed and your eyes to rest.

Netra Tharpanam is a safe and gentle therapy, but some people may experience mild, temporary effects like watery eyes or slight blurring of vision immediately after the treatment. These effects usually subside quickly on their own.
