Akshi Tarpanam

(Eye treatment)

Akshi Tarpana is an ayurvedic rejuvenating eye therapy where medicated ghee is retained around the eyes in a dough ring to improve vision, treat dryness, and relieve eye strain. It is a specialized ayurvedic therapy aimed at nourishing and rejuvenating the eyes.

How Akshi Tarpanam Works?

This treatment involves the application of warm, medicated ghee or oil around the eyes, which is retained in a dough ring made around the eyes. The therapy helps to improve vision, relieve eye strain, and address various eye conditions. The medicated oil soothes the eyes, reduces inflammation, and improves lubrication, making it an ideal treatment for dry eyes, eye fatigue, and even certain eye disorders such as conjunctivitis and cataracts. 

Akshi Tarpanam Procedure

Preparation: The patient lies down comfortably, with their eyes closed. A dough ring (made from a special Ayurvedic paste) is placed around the eyes to form a boundary that will hold the warm oil in place. 

Oil Application: Warm medicated ghee or herbal oil is poured into the dough ring, ensuring that it fully covers the area around the eyes. The oil is allowed to soak into the skin, nourishing the eyes and surrounding tissues. 

Retention of Oil: The oil is kept in place for about 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the medicinal properties to penetrate and nourish the eye area deeply. 

Post-treatment Care: After the therapy, the oil is gently removed, and the patient may be asked to rest for a short period to allow the therapeutic effects to take full effect.

    I’ve been seeing doctors for the past 10 years, dealing with everything from a simple cold to more serious stuff like shoulder tendonitis, which required an injection. Wanting to avoid ongoing treatments, I turned to Ayurveda. Since then, my shoulders are back to feeling as good as new. Later on, I also got treated for ulcerative colitis and it’s all gone now. It’s amazing—every issue I’ve had has been fixed without any long-term problems.

    I took treatment in this Hospital for knee pain and blood circulation in left foot from 5th Sept to 16th Sept 2024. I took a consultation with Dr. Sri Krishna, a Competent, Calm, and Cool person. Above all 6th Generation doctor of this ancient hospital! There is a say that, when you meet your doctor, half of your ailments will disappear, actually it happened with me! He advised me to take 10 days of external treatment like Abhyanga, Janu Basti.. along with oral medicines...

    I met Dr.Sampoorna who helped me with the treatment for my vericose veins. I underwent 14 days treatment in Shree Ayurvedic hospital. The 5 girls who helped me with the treatment were really kind and helpful. Even the staffs were really kind. I can see a good improvement in the condition after getting the treatment. Hope it gets even more better in the future.
