Akshi Tarpan

Natural Eye Care with Ayurveda

What Are the Benefits of Akshi Tarpan?

In the word Akshi Tarpana, Akshi refers to eye and Tarpana means nourishment. Hence Akshi Tarpana means nourishment of eyes. It is also called as Netra Basti. A well-formed dough ring is placed around the eyes to create a reservoir, which is then filled with warm, medicated ghee or herbal liquids. This therapy is very useful in strengthening of all the ocular structures thus improves the functioning capacity of the eyes, while addressing underlying imbalances caused by modern-day stress such as screen exposure, pollution, and poor lifestyle habits.

What Do You Experience During the Treatment?

The process of Akshi Tarpan is deeply relaxing. The warm medicated ghee is gently poured into the dough reservoir around your eyes, creating a cocoon of nourishment. As your eyes remain immersed, you will feel a calming warmth that soothes strained ocular muscles. The ghee gradually penetrates the eye tissues, lubricating and detoxifying them. The sensation is refreshing and uplifting, leaving your eyes feeling lighter and more vibrant.

Some may also experience a cooling effect as the ghee draws out impurities, providing immediate relief from dryness, itching, or redness. The treatment is performed in a serene environment, allowing your mind to relax along with your eyes.
