Netra Basti is the traditional Ayurvedic eye treatment that involves bathing the eyes in medicated ghee and this is one of the  most nourishing and rejuvenating therapies for the eyes. The ghee is retained within a dam made of dough consisting of chickpea flour  (or wheat flour) for approximately 15 minutes on each eye. This is a specialized Ayurvedic treatment for the eyes and nervous system. As the ghee is retained it oozes all around the eyeball, down the eye socket and optic nerve and penetrates deep into the nervous system and brain tissues that lie behind the eyes. leaving a nourishing and satisfying feeling not only in the eyes, but throughout the whole body.
