Netra Basti
Netra Basti also known as Netra Tarpana is a ritual of nourishment rather than correction. It supports the eye area by calming dryness, easing fatigue, and encouraging softness in the delicate skin around the eyes. When the eyes are well cared for, the face often reflects greater ease, brightness, and vitality.

Netra Basti
Eyes are vibrant, and sight is immaculate.
In Ayurveda, the eyes are regarded as sacred organs of perception, carrying clarity, intelligence, and radiance. Netra Basti is a deeply nurturing eye therapy that gently soothes, moisturizes, and revitalizes the delicate tissues around the eyes.
During the treatment, a soft dough ring is placed around each eye, creating a contained space for warm medicated ghee or herbal oil. This nourishing liquid is then gently held in place, allowing the eye area to receive comfort, warmth, and restoration. The therapy is especially supportive for dryness, strain, tension, and the fatigued feeling that can come from screens, stress, travel, or irregular sleep.
​
Following the Netra Basti, a gentle Netra Marma Abhyanga is performed around the eye area. This subtle marma point massage is designed to further encourage relaxation, circulation, and softness in the tissues surrounding the eyes. It supports the release of holding patterns in the face and helps the eyes feel more settled, open, and refreshed.
With regular care, Netra Basti may help soften the appearance of tired eyes, reduce the look of puffiness and under-eye bags, and support a more rested, luminous expression. It is a beautiful ritual for those seeking not only comfort for the eyes, but a serene and radiant presence throughout the face.
