Karna Puram Therapy

– Karna Purana is a therapeutic Ayurvedic ear treatment where warm medicated oils like Anu Taila, Bilwadi Taila, or Triphala Oil are gently poured into the ears. At Ayurvedam, this therapy is performed strictly by doctors, and the choice of oil is recommended after assessing your dosha and ear condition. The warm oil nourishes the inner ear, soothes inflammation, reduces pain, and enhances auditory health.

1. Doctor – Led Assessment & Oil Selection: 

– Every Karna Purana session at Ayurvedam begins with a doctor’s consultation and Nadi Parikshan. Based on your concerns such as pain, dryness, itching, or tinnitus the doctor selects the suitable medicated oil and warms it to a safe, therapeutic temperature.

2. Gentle Preparation & Warm Oil Filling:

– A light massage around the ears and jawline helps relax the area and improve circulation. You are then positioned sideways, and the warm herbal oil (Anu Taila, Bilwadi Taila, or Triphala Oil) is slowly poured into the ear canal and retained for 20 – 30 minutes for deep nourishment.

3. Cleansing & Repeat for the Other Ear:

– Once the retention time is complete, the oil is carefully drained and the ear is gently wiped clean. The same procedure is then performed on the other ear, followed by a short rest period to let the warmth settle.

Benefits of Karna Purana (Ear Oil Therapy): 

– Helps relieve ear pain and discomfort by calming irritation within the ear canal.

– Reduces dryness and itching by deeply nourishing the inner ear with warm herbal oils.

– Supports better hearing clarity by softening accumulated wax and improving ear lubrication.

– Helps ease tinnitus-like sensations through the grounding and soothing effect of warm oil.

– Assists in reducing mild ear inflammation caused by stress, cold exposure, or dryness.

– Improves overall ear hygiene and comfort with gentle cleansing effects after the oil retention.

Q1. What is the best treatment for an ear problem?

– The best treatment for an ear problem depends on the cause, but Ayurvedically, soothing the ear with warmth and keeping the inner canal nourished can offer natural relief. Therapies like Karna Purana performed only after a doctor’s checkup help address dryness, irritation, and sensitivity using gentle, medicated oils. For routine discomfort, simple measures such as avoiding cold exposure, staying hydrated, and not inserting objects into the ear go a long way, while persistent pain or infection should always be evaluated by a qualified doctor.

Q2: How to do Karna Purana?

– Karna Purana is carried out by positioning the person comfortably on their side while a warm, doctor-recommended medicated oil is slowly introduced into the ear canal. The oil is retained for a set duration so it can soften stiffness, dryness, or irritation within the ear. At Ayurvedam, the therapy is performed gently by trained doctors using oils like Anu Taila, Bilwadi Taila, or Triphala Oil, ensuring both safety and maximum therapeutic benefit.

Q3: What is the Karnapoorana procedure?

– Karnapoorana involves preparing the ear with a mild massage around the ear and jaw area, followed by the careful filling of warm herbal oil into the ear canal. The warmth helps soothe discomfort, reduce itching, and support overall ear wellness. After resting for the recommended time, the oil is drained and the ear is lightly cleaned. At Ayurvedam, this entire procedure is performed under a doctor’s supervision to ensure the right oil is selected and the therapy is done with precision.
