Netra Basti Therapy in Jaipur | Adinath Ayurveda Hospital

What is Netra Basti?

“Netra” means eyes, and “Basti” means holding or pooling. In Netra Basti, a small ring of dough is placed around your eyes, and warm medicated ghee is poured inside the ring so it rests gently over your closed eyes.

The ghee nourishes and cools the tissues of the eyes. Its gentle warmth relaxes the small muscles around the eyes, while the medicated ghee works on dryness, burning and strain. You lie back with your eyes closed throughout — most people find it deeply restful.

Burning, dry and strained eyes come mainly from increased Pitta (heat) and Vata (dryness) in the eye region. Netra Basti is Ayurveda's classical Snehana — oleation — therapy for the eyes.

Why Netra Basti?

Eye drops cool the surface for a few minutes. Netra Basti nourishes the eyes deeply, from the outside in, with warm medicated ghee.

Relieves dry, burning eyes
Warm ghee restores moisture and coolness to eyes that feel dry, gritty or burning.

Reduces eye strain from screens
Long screen hours tire the eye muscles. Gentle warmth and ghee relax them, so the strain eases.

Nourishes eye tissues
The medicated ghee feeds the delicate tissues around and inside the eye region, which plain water or drops cannot do.

Relaxes the whole face
The calm of the therapy spreads beyond the eyes — the forehead, jaw and whole face relax with it.

Cooling for Pitta-type eye heat
When the eyes burn from heat, sun or strain, the cooling nature of ghee settles the burning.

Are you facing any of these issues?

If any of these sound like you, this therapy was made for your problem.

Dry, burning eyes

Eye strain from long screen hours

Tired, heavy eyes

Eyes that water in wind or bright light

Itching eyes

Early vision tiredness — words blur after reading a while

If your eyes feel tired, dry or burning by evening, Netra Basti was made for them.

Who needs Netra Basti?

Netra Basti suits anyone whose eyes are tired, dry or strained — especially people whose work lives on a screen.

People who work long hours on screens
People with dry or burning eyes
People whose eyes itch or water easily
People who read a lot or do detailed close work
People whose eyes feel tired from poor sleep

It mainly calms Pitta heat and Vata dryness in the eye region.

What's involved in a Netra Basti session?

A typical session lasts 15–20 minutes.

1

Consultation first. The doctor examines your eyes and decides whether Netra Basti is right for you, and which medicated ghee to use.

2

Preparation. You lie back comfortably. A dough ring is placed around your eyes.

3

Ghee is poured. Lukewarm medicated ghee is poured inside the ring. Your eyes stay closed throughout.

4

Holding time. The ghee rests over your closed eyes for the prescribed time, nourishing and cooling them.

5

Draining. The ghee is drained away and your eyes are cleaned gently.

6

Post-care. You rest your eyes and avoid screens and bright light for a while after the session.

Come without eye makeup, and remove contact lenses before the session. Rest your eyes afterwards — no screens for a while.

How do Adinath experts perform Netra Basti?

At Adinath, Netra Basti is prescribed by Dr. Gaurav Sharma after Nadi Pariksha and an examination of your eyes. The medicated ghee is chosen for your condition — not the same ghee for everyone.

Trained therapists carry out the session with care: the ghee is kept lukewarm, never hot, and your eyes stay closed throughout.

The medicated ghee is chosen for your dosha and your eye condition
Ghee temperature is checked before pouring, every time
Often combined with Shirodhara or face therapies when the doctor advises it
Never a fixed package — the plan changes as your eyes respond

Benefits of Netra Basti

Eye comfort
Eyes feel cool, moist and comfortable again instead of dry and gritty.

Less dryness
Warm ghee restores moisture to dry eyes.

Strain relief
Tired eye muscles relax under the gentle warmth.

Relaxed eyes
The heaviness and tightness around the eyes ease.

Cooler eyes
Burning and heat in the eyes settle.

Less watering and itching
As dryness and irritation calm, watering and itching reduce.

Better rest for the eyes
The session gives the eyes the deep rest that sleep alone sometimes cannot.

Is it safe? Does it hurt?

Netra Basti is gentle and soothing. The ghee is lukewarm, the therapy is done with eyes closed throughout, and trained therapists carry it out under the doctor's prescription.

Tell the doctor about eye infections, recent eye surgery, or active conjunctivitis before the session.

Questions patients ask

What is Netra Basti for?

Netra Basti is for tired, dry, burning and strained eyes. Warm medicated ghee is pooled around the closed eyes inside a dough ring, nourishing and cooling them.

How long is one session?

A typical session lasts 15–20 minutes, including preparation and rest.

How many sessions will I need?

The doctor decides after examining your eyes. A short course helps recent strain; long-standing dryness needs a longer course, reviewed as your eyes respond.

Is it painful?

No — patients find it deeply relaxing. Most people feel the eyes cool and restful during the session.

Is it safe? Who should avoid it?

It is safe when done by trained therapists under the doctor's prescription. Tell the doctor about eye infections, recent eye surgery, or active conjunctivitis.

What do I do after a session?

Rest your eyes. Avoid screens, bright light and rubbing your eyes for a while. The doctor may advise eye drops or rest.

Can I do it at home?

No. The dough ring, the medicated ghee and the sterile technique need trained hands. Ghee in the eyes at home is not safe.

What should I wear or eat before a session?

Come without eye makeup and remove contact lenses before the session. Eat a light meal, and avoid rubbing your eyes afterwards.

Will my vision go blurry after the session?

Vision may feel slightly cloudy for a short while because of the ghee. It clears quickly on its own — just rest your eyes and do not rub them.

Can I wear contact lenses during Netra Basti?

No. Remove contact lenses before the session and wait until your eyes feel clear before putting them back.
