Netra Basti
Basti is a Sanskrit word and one of the meanings is ‘vessel’. The use of dough dams, or Basti, in Ayurveda is a unique therapy which allows a specific area of the body to be saturated with medicated oil. When we treat the eyes we use ghee. Depending on a particular issue we can medicate the ghee to treat. This treatment is usually not uncomfortable but quite the opposite. The eyes feel nourished, more clear, and relief from dryness. Netra Basti strengthens the deep tissues and nerves of the eyes to help maintain good eyesight. Ayurveda says that the eyes are connected with the feet, therefore a shoulder, neck, face, and foot massage is included.
