Akshi Tarpana at Utpala Ayurdhama
Akshi Tarpana is an ancient Ayurvedic therapy specifically designed to rejuvenate and nourish the eyes. The term “Akshi” refers to the eyes, while “Tarpana” means nourishment or rehydration. This treatment is highly beneficial in addressing a wide range of eye-related issues, such as dryness, strain, and vision problems. By using medicated ghee or herbal oils, Akshi Tarpana not only nourishes the eyes but also provides relief from stress and tension in the surrounding muscles.
At Utpala Ayurdhama, our expert therapists administer this therapy with the utmost care, using high-quality medicated ghee and herbs to promote overall eye health. This treatment is recommended for individuals suffering from various eye conditions, as well as for those looking to prevent vision-related issues and improve their overall eye health.
What is Akshi Tarpana?
Akshi Tarpana is a therapeutic procedure where a medicated ghee or herbal oil is gently poured into a dough ring placed around the eyes. The ghee or oil is retained in this ring for a specified duration, allowing the medicinal properties to deeply nourish and rejuvenate the eyes. This therapy is known to improve vision, reduce eye strain, and alleviate dryness and other discomforts caused by prolonged screen time or environmental factors.
The Akshi Tarpana Procedure
- Preparation: The patient lies down in a comfortable position. A dough ring made from black gram or wheat flour is placed around each eye, ensuring that no liquid leaks out.
- Application: Medicated ghee or herbal oil, warmed to a comfortable temperature, is gently poured into the dough rings. The ghee is allowed to stay in contact with the eyes for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Duration: The ghee or oil remains in the eye region, allowing for deep penetration and absorption of its medicinal properties. The patient is asked to blink and move their eyes gently to ensure even distribution of the ghee.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the treatment, the ghee is carefully removed, and the eyes are gently wiped. Patients are advised to rest for a short period and avoid direct exposure to bright light immediately after the therapy.
