Eye Care in Ayurveda

In a world filled with screens and devices, it is essential to take good care of your eyes. The constant and prolonged use of electronic devices has led to an increase in eyesight related problems and dry eyes. Imbalance in the Pitta level in the body leads to fatigue and weakness in the eye muscles. The ancient Ayurvedic medicinal study has provided ways to regain and improve eyesight.
Few of those ways include:
Eye exercise: There are special eye exercises that strengthen the eye muscles and increases the flexibility of eye muscles that control the movement of the lenses. By repeating these exercises regularly in the morning, we can observe a significant improvement in the quality of vision.
Massage: Regular relaxing head and eye massages decrease the fatigue of ligaments in the eye. Use of warm essential oil can have a long-lasting relaxing effect on the body
Akshi Tarpana: Also known as netra tarpana means strengthening the eyes. In this therapy, an enclosure is made around the eyes with black gram flour and medicated oil or ghee is poured in that. This ayurvedic therapy cools, lubricates, and revitalizes the eyes.
