Ayurveda Eye Care (Eye Wash, Netra Patah)

Eye wash using herbal kashayam, face massage and netra patah (application of herbal paste on the eye). Reduces eye strain, tiredness and headaches. A 15-minute consultation is mandatory before this therapy.

I · Overview

This multi-step therapeutic routine restores ocular hygiene and comfort. It begins with Netra Dhara, a gentle pouring of cooled herbal decoction (Kashayam) across the eyes, followed by a specialised facial marma massage around the forehead and temples. It concludes with Netra Patah, where a cooling herbal paste is applied over the closed eyelids and orbital area to draw out deep-seated heat.

A 15-minute practitioner consultation is mandatory first. The experience is intensely refreshing, crisp and cooling — the herbal eye wash gently flushes pollutants (a mild burning sensation is possible), the marma facial massage relieves sinus and temple pressure, and the final herbal paste delivers long-lasting cooling.
