Netra Tharpanam is a rejuvenating treatment that involves pouring warm and medicated ghee within an enclosure over the eyes. It is highly beneficial for treating different disorders and ailments in the eyes.
According to Ayurveda, all the five elements of nature govern different components of the eye – the earth element controls the muscular component, the fire governs the blood vessels, the air controls the color, the water controls the white area, and air governs the tear ducts and channels. For perfect eye health, all these elements need to be in balance and function properly.
Moreover, our eyes are also governed by a sub dosha of Pitta known as Alochaka Pitta. As we age, the Alochaka Pitta becomes less balanced which affects eye health. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to eye care at all stages of life. Undergoing regular Tharpanam therapy can help to maintain good eyesight and vision throughout life.
