In the modern digital age, our eyes are under constant assault. Whether you are an IT professional in Coimbatore’s tech parks, a student preparing for competitive exams, or someone constantly on a smartphone, “Digital Eye Strain” is a growing concern. Tharpanam (also known as Netra Tarpana) is the specialized Ayurvedic answer to ocular health.
At Poornaayur, located in the heart of Coimbatore, we offer authentic Tharpanam therapy designed to nourish the eyes, clear vision, and provide deep neurological relaxation.
The word Tharpanam means “nourishment” or “satiation.” This unique procedure involves creating a reservoir of black gram dough around the eyes. Into this pool, lukewarm medicated ghee (usually Triphala Ghritam or Jeevantyadi Ghritam) is gently poured.
The client is then asked to blink and move their eyes in specific patterns while they are submerged in the medicinal ghee. This allows the fat-soluble herbal properties to penetrate the optic nerves and the delicate tissues surrounding the eyes.
At Poornaayur, we recommend Tharpanam for residents of Coimbatore facing the following issues:
Combats Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS): The medicated ghee acts as a natural lubricant, instantly relieving the dryness, itching, and burning sensations caused by long hours of screen time.
Reduces Intraocular Pressure: By calming the nervous system and improving circulation to the eyes, it helps manage conditions like glaucoma and high eye pressure.
Strengthens Optic Nerves: The nourishing properties of the ghee help prevent the degeneration of the optic nerve and may help in slowing down the progression of refractive errors (myopia/hypermetropia).
Heals Dark Circles & Fatigue: By improving local blood flow, Tharpanam revitalizes the area around the eyes, reducing puffiness and dark circles.
Relieves Chronic Headaches: Many tension headaches in Coimbatore’s workforce stem from eye strain; Tharpanam addresses the root cause by relaxing the ocular muscles.
Eye treatments require the highest level of hygiene and precision. At Poornaayur, we ensure a safe and serene environment:
Doctor’s Consultation: Our BAMS doctors assess your eye health and “Dosha” to select the exact medicated ghee required for your condition.
Hygienic Environment: We maintain sterile conditions for all Netra (Eye) treatments to ensure zero risk of infection.
Authentic Medicated Ghee: We use only premium Ayurvedic Ghee sourced from trusted Kerala pharmacies like Kottakkal Arya Vaidya Sala.
Complementary Care: For chronic eye strain, we often combine Tharpanam with Shirodhara to provide a total relaxation of the cranial nerves.
Software Engineers: To counter the effects of blue light and screen fatigue.
Drivers & Pilots: To improve night vision and reduce eye fatigue.
Seniors: To manage age-related macular degeneration and dryness.
Students: To improve concentration and reduce the strain of long hours of reading.
