Netra Tarpana (Eye Rejuvenation Therapy)
in Bengaluru
Netra Tarpana is a highly specialized ocular therapy where lukewarm, medicated, pure cow's ghee (Ghrita) is pooled over the open eyes inside a dough boundary. It deeply nourishes the optic nerve, retina, and ocular muscles.
Clinical Benefits
- The ultimate cure for severe dry eye syndrome and computer vision syndrome
- Relieves intense eye strain, burning sensations, and light sensitivity
- Strengthens the optic nerve and helps arrest early macular degeneration
- Improves blurred vision and prevents early cataract formation
Clinical Procedure
1. Preparation (Purvakarma)
- • A dough ring (usually black gram) is securely fixed around the eye sockets, ensuring no leaks.
2. Main Action (Pradhana Karma)
Lukewarm, highly purified medicated ghee (like Triphala Ghrita) is slowly poured into the rings until the eyelashes are submerged. The patient is asked to open and close their eyes to allow the ghee to coat the eyeball completely.
3. Post-Therapy (Paschatkarma)
- • The ghee is removed, and the eyes are wiped gently.
- • Patient must avoid bright lights, screens, and wind for several hours.
Patient FAQs
Does the ghee burn the eyes?
No, pure, properly medicated cow's ghee is incredibly soothing to the eyes. Most patients experience a profound sense of cooling and relief from strain during the procedure.
Can I drive immediately after?
Your vision may be slightly blurry due to the ghee film for about 30-60 minutes. We strictly advise against driving or looking at screens immediately after the therapy.
