Tarpana in Ayurveda is a specialized therapeutic procedure primarily focused on eye care and rejuvenation. In this treatment, a well-like structure is carefully constructed around the eyes using a paste made from black gram flour, forming a sealed boundary. Within this containment, warm, medicated ghee is gently poured and retained for a specified duration, allowing the therapeutic properties of the ghee to deeply penetrate and nourish the ocular tissues. The patient is instructed to alternately open and close the eyes, facilitating maximum absorption and cleansing. Tarpana is known to improve vision, relieve eye strain, and support healing in conditions such as dry eyes, computer vision syndrome, conjunctivitis, and early-stage degenerative eye disorders.
This traditional Ayurvedic therapy not only addresses specific ocular issues but also promotes overall eye health by strengthening the optic nerves and rejuvenating the visual system. It is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing visual fatigue due to excessive screen time, exposure to environmental pollutants, or mental stress. Performed under the supervision of skilled Ayurvedic practitioners, Tarpana is customized to suit individual needs, ensuring safety, comfort, and optimal therapeutic results in harmony with the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
