Nourish Your Eyes, Calm Your Mind
Tarpana (part of Netra Kriyā Kalpa), is a deeply rejuvenating Ayurvedic eye therapy described in the classical texts such as the Ashtanga Hridayam, Charaka Samhita, and Sushruta Samhita.
In this treatment, warm medicated ghee is gently retained over the eyes, allowing profound nourishment and restoration to the delicate tissues.
Traditionally, Tarpana is indicated for:
• Dry, tired or strained eyes
• Excess screen time and digital fatigue
• Blurred vision and eye weakness
• Vata and Pitta imbalances affecting the eyes
• Supporting overall eye health and clarity
In the classical understanding, the eyes are governed by Alochaka Pitta, and when aggravated—often by stress, overuse, or heat—symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and fatigue arise. Tarpana works by deeply lubricating, cooling, and strengthening the ocular tissues, while also calming the nervous system.
Beyond the physical benefits, this therapy invites a profound sense of stillness and inward connection, offering rest not only to the eyes, but to the mind.
A beautiful ritual for modern life, where our eyes are constantly stimulated and rarely given the chance to truly rest.
If you feel called to slow down, restore, and nourish your vision—this treatment is for you.
