netradhara

Netradhara (or Netra Dhara) is a traditional Ayurvedic therapy where a continuous, gentle stream of warm, medicated herbal liquid, milk, or oil is poured over closed eyes to cleanse, nourish, and rejuvenate them, relieving strain, dryness, redness, and improving vision, especially for digital eye fatigue and environmental irritants. Derived from Sanskrit words meaning "eye" (Netra) and "flow" (Dhara), it's a soothing treatment that washes away toxins and relaxes eye muscles.

How it Works

• Procedure:

  A patient lies down comfortably while a therapist pours a specific herbal concoction (Kashayam) or medicated liquid over their closed eyes in a rhythmic stream.

• Duration:

  The process typically lasts about 20-30 minutes, with the liquid flowing from a slight height.

• Medications:

  Herbs chosen for their cooling, anti-inflammatory, and vision-enhancing properties are used, often similar to those in Aschotanam treatments.
