Akshi Tarpan Therapy – Ayurvedic Eye Care for Vision and Stress Relief

Introduction:
Akshi Tarpan, also known as Netra Tarpana, is a classical Ayurvedic therapy designed to rejuvenate, nourish, and strengthen the eyes. The word “Akshi” means eyes and “Tarpan” means nourishment. In this procedure, medicated ghee (clarified butter infused with healing herbs) is retained in a dough boundary around the eyes for a specific duration. This therapy not only improves eyesight but also relieves strain, dryness, and fatigue caused by modern lifestyle factors such as excessive screen time.

How Akshi Tarpan Therapy Works:

1. Preparation of Ghee: Medicated ghee prepared from herbs like Triphala, Yashtimadhu, and Daruharidra is used.

2. Dough Boundary: A soft dough ring is placed around the eyes to hold the ghee securely.

3. Filling the Ghee: Warm medicated ghee is gently poured into the ring, covering the eyes completely.

4. Duration: The ghee is retained for 15–20 minutes, during which the patient relaxes and opens/closes eyes intermittently.

5. Post-Therapy Care: The ghee is removed, and gentle eye massage with herbal oils is performed.
