Netra Lepa in Ayurveda: Herbal Eye Pack Therapy for Cooling, Healing & Rejuvenation

What is Netra Lepa?

Netra Lepa is a classical Ayurvedic therapy in which herbal pastes are applied around and over the eyes to cool, soothe, and rejuvenate the eye region. The word “Netra” means eyes, and “Lepa” refers to application of a medicinal paste.

This gentle yet powerful treatment works on Pitta and Vata imbalances, especially helpful in today’s lifestyle where eyes are under constant strain due to screen time, pollution, stress, and lack of sleep.

Netra Lepa is often combined with other Ayurvedic eye therapies such as Netra Basti, Padabhyanga, or Nasya for holistic effect.

How is Netra Lepa Performed?

Preparation:
- A blend of cooling, anti-inflammatory, and rejuvenating herbs is prepared into a smooth paste using rose water, aloe vera juice, or cow’s milk.
- Common herbs include Chandan (sandalwood), Yashtimadhu (licorice), Triphala, Haridra (turmeric), Manjishtha, and Bhringraj.
Application:
- The paste is gently applied around the eyes (periorbital area) and sometimes lightly over the eyelids (closed).
- The eyes remain closed and relaxed during the application.
Relaxation Time:
- The paste is allowed to remain for 15–30 minutes, depending on the sensitivity of the person and ingredients used.
- The patient is encouraged to rest in a quiet, dimly lit room.
Removal:
- The paste is carefully wiped with warm, sterile cotton or herbal water.
- A mild rose water eye rinse may follow.
