Netra Basti in Ayurveda: Eye Rejuvenation Therapy for Vision, Clarity, and Deep Relaxation

What is Netra Basti?

Netra Basti (also called Netra Tarpana) is a specialized Ayurvedic therapy designed to nourish, strengthen, and rejuvenate the eyes. The word “Netra” means eyes, and “Basti” means to hold or retain.

In this therapy, warm medicated ghee or oil is retained over the eyes within a well constructed from dough. It allows the healing substance to penetrate deeply into the ocular tissues, improving vision, relieving strain, and balancing Pitta dosha, which governs the eyes in Ayurveda.

This is not just a therapy for eye health—it’s a complete detox and nourishment for the optic nerves, brain, and emotional centers connected through the eyes.

How is Netra Basti Performed?

Preparation:
- The patient is asked to lie comfortably on a therapy bed.
- A well is built around the eyes using a ring of black gram flour dough, shaped carefully to prevent leakage.
Ghee/Oil Retention:
- Lukewarm medicated ghee or oil (like Triphala Ghee, Mahatriphala Ghrita, or Jivaniya Ghee) is gently poured into the well, enough to cover the eyes completely.
- The patient is instructed to keep the eyes open and closed intermittently to allow the ghee to penetrate.
Duration:
- The ghee is retained for 10–20 minutes, depending on the person’s condition and constitution.
Post-Therapy Care:
- Ghee is drained carefully.
- The area is cleaned with sterile cotton.
- The patient is advised to rest in a dimly lit space, avoiding bright lights or screens for a few hours.
