Netra Basti

A traditional Ayurvedic eye treatment to enhance eye sight, counter fatigue and heaviness in the eyes & slow retinal deterioration.

The Therapist prepares dough from special grains which is shaped into a small ring and placed over the eyes. This is then filled with warm ghee, either a plain or medicated variety. The ghee is retained within the ring at a specific temperature for a specific time. Once the ghee is removed the therapist will massage specific marma points around the affected area.

Benefits can include:

1. Eye lubrication and moisturisation: Netra Basti helps to lubricate and moisturise the eyes, providing relief from dryness, itching, and burning sensations. The warm medicated ghee or oil used in the treatment nourishes the eyes and improves tear production.
   
2. Improved vision: Regular Netra Basti sessions are believed to have a positive impact on vision. It can help strengthen the eye muscles, improve blood circulation to the eyes, and enhance overall visual clarity.
   
3. Reduction of eye strain: Netra Basti is beneficial for those who spend long hours in front of screens or have eye strain due to excessive reading or other visually intensive activities. The therapy helps to relax the eye muscles, reduce strain, and alleviate symptoms like eye fatigue and headaches.
   
4. Prevention and management of eye conditions: Netra Basti can be beneficial in preventing and managing various eye conditions. It is commonly used in Ayurveda to support the treatment of conditions such as dry eyes, conjunctivitis, computer vision syndrome, glaucoma, cataracts, and general eye fatigue.
   
5. Stress relief: The process of receiving Netra Basti can be deeply relaxing and calming. The warm ghee or oil, along with the gentle massage and warmth around the eyes, can help relieve stress and tension, promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being.
