Ear Treatment (Karnapooranam & Karnadhoopanam)
Gentle massage around the ear and neck, filling each ear with warm medicated oil for 8–10 minutes, cleaning, then dhoopana (herbal fuming). Loosens wax, strengthens ear bones and nerves, relieves earache and supports mental clarity. A 15-minute consultation is mandatory before this therapy.
This comprehensive aural therapy combines Karnapooranam, filling the ear canal with warm medicated oil for 8–10 minutes, with Karnadhoopanam, a herbal fuming with medicated smoke. It begins with a gentle external massage around the ear, jawline and neck, after which the ear is filled, drained, cleaned and fumed.
A practitioner consultation is required first. You can expect a deeply soothing, warm sensation as the oil rests in the ear canal — ambient sound feels muffled — followed by a pleasant, warming herbal smoke that brings lightness and clarity to the head.
