If you are looking for something like that, then there is an effective medical treatment in the world of Ayurveda. It is called Nethra Tharpanam.
What is Netra tharpanam?

This treatment is highly effective for people who spend a major time staring at computer screens as part of their work schedule. So, what makes Netra tharpanam better than other types of medications? You must be wondering.
Well, the reasons are that this is a medicinal treatment of Ayurveda which is regarded as one of the oldest systems of medicine in the world originated around 5000 years ago in India. Like other types of medication, there are no apparent side effects for ayurvedic practices unless, if it’s not done properly.
This is why it is recommended to get the treatment done at professional ayurvedic clinics by a licensed ayurvedic practitioner. This is very much important as they know the right body type of the person and the severity of their ailments which helps them correctly do the procedure.
How is it done
The procedure initially begins with the person lying down with their head facing upwards. After that abhyangam is done which is massaging the head, face, and eyes. This is done to make a person’s body relaxed and calm. After the ayurvedic massage is done, the next step involves constructing a circular frame over the eyes.
This is made using either black gram paste or wheat flour. After placing the frame over the eyes that, warm ghee combined with natural medicinal herbs is poured all over the eyes. The eyes must be closed at the time of pouring the mixture.
After the ghee is poured, the eyes are then allowed to open slowly and closed intermittently. This allows the medicinal mixture to get soaked into the eyes. The duration of the procedure is about 15-25 minutes. Depending upon the severity of the issue, the procedure can extend to more than 5 days.
Since the herbal ghee concoction is soaked by the eyes, it helps to improve the inner vision by cleaning the smallest channels that are associated with providing both inner and outer perception. Nethra tharpanam process helps in correcting various eye issues such as cataracts, glaucoma, and conjunctivitis in the early stages.
After the treatment is done, the patient is advised to not view bright lights. The treatment is done usually in the evening after sunset as it is considered the ideal time for doing the treatment.
Why should you get it done
As mentioned above, the procedure is mainly intended for people suffering from various eye problems such as dryness, burning sensation, irritation, optic nerve issues, etc that arise from continuous staring at computer screens for long times. Nethra tharpanam is natural pain relief from all these issues.
The treatment cools and rejuvenates the marmas (vital points) in the eyes from stress and pollution. Another highlight of this treatment is that this can be done as a preventive treatment. If you are a healthy individual, you can opt for this procedure so that you can minimize the chances of an eye issue in the future.
