Das Netra Basti Yantra ist ein professionelles Acrylinstrument, das für Netra Tarpana (auch bekannt als Netra Basti) entwickelt wurde, eines der fünf klassischen Kriyakalpa-Verfahren, die in der Sushruta Samhita und im Ashtanga Hridayam beschrieben sind.

Bei dieser traditionellen Ayurvedic-Augenbehandlung wird lauwarmes, medizinisch behandeltes Ghee sanft über den Augen gehalten, während der Kunde auf dem Rücken liegt. Das Ghee nährt und beruhigt die empfindliche Augenpartie und bietet ein tief entspannendes und regenerierendes Erlebnis, das auf tausenden von Jahren Ayurvedic-Praxis basiert.

Dieses Set enthält ein Paar transparente Acryl-Yantras, eines für jedes Auge.

After each session, rinse the Yantras with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free detergent. Sanitise with isopropyl alcohol or a clinical-grade surface disinfectant. Allow to air dry completely before storing. Inspect regularly for any cracks or rough edges that could cause discomfort.

  • 2 × Acrylic Netra Basti Yantra (one per eye)
  • Material: Transparent food-grade acrylic
  • Approximate dimensions: 7 × 5.5 × 4.5 cm per piece

Sushruta Samhita (Uttaratantra Ch. 18 — Kriyakalpa), Ashtanga Hridayam (Sutrasthana Ch. 24 — Tarpana Putapaka Vidhi), Sharangadhara Samhita (Uttarakhanda Ch. 13)

Wie funktioniert es?

The Netra Basti Yantra is an open-form instrument, open at both the top and bottom. The practitioner places the Yantra over the client's orbital area and seals the outer perimeter with a small ring of Masha (urad dal) flour paste, creating a watertight reservoir. Lukewarm medicated ghee is then poured through the open top until it covers the eyelashes. The client gently opens their eyes, blinks slowly, and moves the eyes in soft circular motions within the warm ghee.

Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment protocol and the specific condition being addressed.

Why Acrylic Netra Basti?

Traditionally, the reservoir for Netra Tarpana is constructed entirely from Masha flour dough, shaped and moulded around the eye socket by the practitioner. While effective, this method requires considerable skill to maintain structural integrity over the full duration of a session.

The acrylic Netra Basti Yantra offers a practical, modern alternative. The transparent, pre-formed shape provides consistent structure throughout the treatment, while the practitioner still uses a small amount of flour paste to seal the instrument to the client's skin. This combines the reliability of a reusable clinical tool with the traditional sealing method that ensures a proper fit for every face.

Advantages for practitioners:

  • Structural consistency — no risk of the reservoir collapsing or deforming during longer sessions
  • Standardised volume — ensures even ghee coverage across treatments
  • Significantly reduced preparation time
  • Easy to clean and reuse between clients
  • Transparent material allows the practitioner to observe the eye area during therapy

The Classical Medium: Medicated Ghee

Every major classical Ayurvedic text — from Sushruta Samhita (Uttaratantra, Chapter 18) to Ashtanga Hridayam (Sutrasthana, Chapter 24) — specifies medicated ghee (Ghrita) as the sole medium for Netra Tarpana. This is not incidental. The eyes are governed by Alochaka Pitta, and ghee, with its cooling potency (Sheeta Virya), is uniquely suited to nourish and pacify this subdosha.
The classical standard formulation is Triphala Ghritham — cow's ghee processed with Triphala (Haritaki, Vibhitaki, Amalaki), referenced in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali, Ashtanga Hridayam, and Sharangadhara Samhita. Other formulations such as Jeevantyadi Ghritham and Mahatriphaladi Ghritham are selected by practitioners based on the specific presentation and treatment goals.
Plain cow's ghee (Goghrita) may be used for general nourishment and preventive care.
Note: Oils (Tailam) are not used for Netra Tarpana. This is a ghee-only procedure.
Suggested Procedure Overview
Preparation (Purva Karma):

Ensure a calm, wind-free, dust-free treatment space with subdued lighting
Gently warm the facial area with a light steam or warm towel (Swedana)
Melt the medicated ghee using a double-boiler method — it should be comfortably lukewarm, approximately body temperature (36–38°C)
Prepare a small amount of Masha (urad dal) flour paste for sealing

During the session (Pradhana Karma):

Client lies supine with eyes closed
Place the Netra Basti Yantra over the orbital area and seal the perimeter with flour paste
Pour lukewarm ghee through the open top until the level reaches the eyelash tips
Ask the client to gently open their eyes, blink slowly, and perform soft eye movements
Maintain for the prescribed duration (typically 15–30 minutes)

After the session (Paschat Karma):

Drain the ghee and gently wipe any residue
Apply a warm compress to the eye area
Wash the eyes gently with lukewarm Triphala Kashayam (decoction)
Advise the client to avoid bright light, wind, and screens for at least two to three hours after treatment
Classical texts recommend post-care precautions for twice the duration of the treatment itself (Dwiguna Parihara Kala)
