Netra Basti

Netra Basti-A Heavenly Ayurvedic Treatment for Eyes
Netra Basti is a traditional ayurvedic method of treating eyes that can enhance eye-sight, counter fatigue and heaviness due to dry eyes, and slow deterioration of the retina. In the present digital era, eyes are one of the most strained sense organs in the body. The medicinal power of the herbs is utilized and is directly targeted to the “Netra” the Sanskrit word for eye. It is always advised to perform Netra Basti by a certified ayurvedic practitioner.
In other words, Netra Basti is a method of bathing the eyes in oil or ghee, the dust particles, impurities, or mucus form a layer in the ghee and hence result in relaxing eyes.
This method of treatment at ayurhitam has the ability to cure dry eye syndrome and strengthen the eye muscles at the same time. It can help to reduce the risk of cataracts, ptosis, ocular muscle weakness, and many more.
How is Netra Basti at Ayurhitam done?
Netra Basti is a preventive and restorative ayurvedic treatment for the eyes. A certified ayurvedic practitioner at Ayurhitam prepares a dough using organic flour and is placed around the eye area creating a small dam.
The small dam is then placed with warm ghee (clarified butter), either a normal or a medicated version. The warm ghee is retained in the eye area at a specific temperature for a specific time.
Upon removal of the ghee, our practitioner massages the marma points around the affected area.
Netra Basti treatment at Ayurhitam is done in three stages:
- Pre-treatment: At ayurhitam, we first begin by examining the patient’s current health issues.
- Preparation: The materials required for the procedure are collected that include medicated ghee or plain ghee, organic flour for making the ring around the eyes, tissues, and sterile clothes.
- The beginning of the treatment: the cleansing of the eyes is done just before the Netra Basti treatment begins.
- Flour ring: an organic flour ring is mixed in a vessel with water and is placed around the eye area of the patient in the form of a small dam.
- The treatment: after creating a small dam around the eye, the lukewarm medicated or normal ghee(clarified butter) is slowly poured around the eye. The patient has to blink their eyes for approximately 30 mins or as required for the eye to directly come in contact with the medicines.

I recommend Ayurhitam to anyone who’s focused on long term healing through a combination of natural medicines (herbs procured from … ....Read more reliable sources), Ayurveda body work and treatments, and who’s willing to make the diet ad lifestyle changes required to achieve your health goals. Manju is highly knowledgeable and takes the time to understand root causes (such as life events and life habits as potential contributors to chronic health issues), and provides specific guidance and practical tips on tweaks to make to address your health concern(s) and achieve your health goals. I’ve taken a variety of treatments from Manju and her team over a period of more than a year, and have had a very positive experience throughout. My own knowledge of Ayurveda and general awareness on how to make “healing” a part of one’s lifestyle has improved through my sessions at Ayurhitam. For those not close to Fremont, followup consultation sessions can also be done online via video calls, though you have to go to the clinic for treatments. We need more Ayurveda practitioners like Manju in our overall healthcare system!
