Rejuvenate your Eyes with Ayurvedic Therapy – Netra Tarpana |
|
Did you know that people and places can give you positive energy but they can also steal your life energy and leave you exhausted?
This especially happens if you are into healing business or if you are often in contact with many people.
You have to protect yourself and recognize when some place or a person is stealing your positive energy.
Many diseases occur when your life energy is low because your immunity is weak as well.
All situations and people that make you stressed can be dangerous for your health.
I advise you to take this very seriously.
The Eye – Mirror of Emotions and Health
The most sophisticated and the most sensitive body organ is the eye.
Through the eyes we receive 90% of all impressions, while through other organs we receive only 10%.
Did you know that by looking directly in the eyes of another person you can lose a lot of energy especially if that person is angry, negative, grumpy or depressed?
If you spend hours by looking at your cell phone or monitor the same thing will occur.
You will lose your energy and your eyes will become tired.
Eyes are the mirror of the soul and sometimes it is good to pay attention to our inner voice that tells us to step away from certain situation or from certain people that steal our energy.
Ayurvedic Purification of the Eyes
Discover the ancient method of Netra Tarpana and learn how to help yourself.
Netra Tarpana (netra – eyes, tarpana – nourishment) is a treatment for strengthening, relaxing and purifying the eyes.
Ancient ayurvedic sadhus (wise holy men) used this special treatment for prevention and for eye healing.
Make a ring around your eyes using chickpeas flour dough.
Slowly pure warm ghee (clarified butter) in the circle keeping your eyes closed (don’t pure it directly on the eyes, start from the edges of the ring).
When the eyes are completely covered with ghee, open them slowly. You will feel as if you are diving under water.
Ghee has an excellent healing effect – it extracts toxins and waste, it regenerates, nourishes and rejuvenates the eyes.
Netra Tarpana relaxes tired and dried eyes, strengthens the muscles around the eyes, gives refreshment and clarity, and improves circulation.
At the same time it reduces wrinkles and bags under the eyes.
You should apply this treatment continuously for several days to have an effect.
Cure for Many Eye Problems
Netra Tarpana is being used for various eye and eyesight problems.
This method is especially recommended in the following cases:
- Glaucoma
- Conjunctivitis
- Weak sight
- Tired, dry and inflamed eyes
- Tensions in the head and in the eyes
- Computer sight syndrome
- Wrinkle removal
- Dark bags under the eyes
- Long term eye stress
Guidelines for Performing Netra Tarpana
Ingredients:
- 300 g of chickpeas flour
- Water
- 2 dl of ghee
- Cotton pad
- Rose water or chamomile tea
Treatment:
Choose a person who will help you with the treatment. Before the treatment remove your makeup.
-
Make a dough by mixing chickpeas flour with little bit of water. The dough should be as firm as bread dough.
-
Melt ghee on a low heat.
-
Form the dough into 2 balls. Make a hole in the middle of every ball and shape the ball as a ring that is a little bit bigger than the size of your eyes.
-
Place the rings around the eyes and press to fix. During the treatment you should not laugh or talk because the rings must stay firmly fixed on your skin (ghee should not leak or escape during the treatment).
-
Use the inside of your wrist to check the ghee temperature.
-
Slowly pure ghee into the enclosed area. Be careful not to pure it directly on the eyes but pure it from the edges of the ring (from the temple) until the whole eye is covered.
-
Now gently open your eyes and start the eye exercise.
-
Move your eyes to the left and to the right, up and down, then circle from one side and then the other. Treatment should last for 15 to 20 minutes. Later you can add a bit of warm ghee more in order to keep the temperature.
-
When you are done with the treatment apply two cotton pads to your eyes to absorb ghee. Apply until ghee is completely removed. Remove the chickpeas flour ring and wipe the remnants of dough and ghee with cotton pads while massaging the eyes.
- Put clean cotton pads into rose water or chamomile tea, extract the extra fluid and put them on your eyes. Cover with the small towel. Relax and keep your eyes closed for 10 minutes.
Recommendation:
After the treatment it would be the best not to watch TV or work with your computer.
If you cannot avoid it, then do this treatment before going to sleep.
