Netra Tarpan Therapy

– Netra Tarpan is a classical Ayurvedic eye therapy designed to nourish, soothe, and strengthen the eyes using medicated triphala ghee. At Ayurvedam, every Netra Tarpan session begins with a Doctor Consultation and Nadi Parikshan to understand the individual’s dosha and eye-related concerns. Based on this assessment, the doctor selects Triphala Ghee, which is used during the therapy. This treatment is performed in a calm setting and is carefully monitored by trained practitioners for safety and comfort.

– Netra Tarpan works by retaining warm medicated ghee over the eyes for a specific duration, allowing the herbal formulation to deeply nourish ocular tissues. The therapy helps relieve eye strain caused by prolonged screen exposure, dryness, fatigue, and sensitivity, while also supporting overall eye comfort and clarity. At Ayurvedam, the therapy duration is maintained between 20 to 30 minutes, ensuring effective absorption without discomfort.

Step 1: Doctor Consultation & Assessment.

– The session begins with a consultation and Nadi Parikshan. The doctor evaluates eye health, symptoms, and dosha imbalance before approving the therapy and selecting of the ayurvedic oil.

Step 2: Herbal Dough Enclosure Around the Eyes:

– A soft flour dough ring is carefully shaped and placed around both eyes to form a secure enclosure. This creates a sealed space that allows the medicated ghee to stay in contact with the eyes during the therapy.

Step 3: Triphala Ghee Application & Retention:

– Warm Triphala Ghee, selected by the doctor after assessment, is gently poured into the dough enclosure formed around the eyes and retained for 20–30 minutes. During the therapy, the client is guided to slowly open and close the eyes at intervals, allowing the medicated ghee to be more effective. This controlled movement helps the ghee nourish the eyes evenly, soothe dryness and strain, and provide a cooling, comforting effect to tired or stressed eyes.

Q1: What is Netra Tarpan?

– Netra Tarpan is an Ayurvedic eye therapy where medicated ghee is retained over the eyes to relieve dryness, strain, and visual fatigue. In Ayurveda, the eyes are highly sensitive to Vata and Pitta imbalance, often aggravated by screen exposure, lack of rest, and environmental stress. At Ayurvedam, Netra Tarpan is performed after doctor consultation using Triphala Ghee to gently nourish the eyes, calm irritation, and restore eye comfort in a controlled clinical setting.

Q2: Which oil is used for Netra Tarpan?

– Netra Tarpan is traditionally performed using medicated ghee, most commonly Triphala Ghee. This ghee is infused with Triphala, known in Ayurveda for supporting eye health and maintaining moisture balance. At Ayurvedam, the choice of ghee is made by the doctor after Nadi Parikshan, ensuring the formulation suits the individual’s eye condition and dosha. Only doctor-approved ghee is used to maintain safety and effectiveness during the therapy.

Q3: Can Netra Tarpan be done at home?

– Netra Tarpan should ideally be performed under professional guidance due to the sensitive nature of the eyes. While traditional texts describe the method, improper technique or oil selection can cause discomfort. At Ayurvedam, this therapy is conducted by trained professionals after medical assessment, and for those seeking convenience, supervised home therapy sessions can be arranged through prior appointment, ensuring the same level of care and precision.
