Netra Basti

$135 | 60 min
Netra Basti, also known as the golden eye bath, is one of Ayurveda’s most revered therapies for tired, strained, and overworked eyes. In a world of screens, artificial lighting, and constant visual demand, the eyes are rarely given true nourishment or rest. Netra Basti offers something modern eye care cannot — deep lubrication, cooling relief, and gentle rejuvenation that leaves the eyes feeling lighter, clearer, and more comfortable.

What This Treatment Does

Netra Basti works by bathing the eyes in warm, medicated ghee, held gently within a soft herbal dough frame. This allows nourishment to reach delicate eye tissues directly, supporting comfort, clarity, and resilience. Unlike surface remedies, Netra Basti focuses on restoring moisture, easing fatigue, and supporting the eyes’ natural function, especially when dryness, strain, or visual overload have become part of daily life.

Why This Works

Eye strain is rarely just about the eyes. In Ayurveda, visual fatigue reflects depletion in the tissues that support sight and the nervous system that processes sensory input. Netra Basti replenishes this reserve directly. The warmth and unctuous quality of medicated ghee counter dryness and overstimulation, allowing the eyes and mind to settle and recover together.

Best For

Netra Basti is especially helpful for those experiencing ongoing eye strain or visual fatigue:

Digital & Screen Fatigue
Relieving the physical "burn" and tiredness caused by prolonged blue light exposure and constant focus.

Environmental Dryness
Deeply lubricating eyes that feel dry, itchy, or "gritty" due to air conditioning, travel, or seasonal irritants.

Tension-Related Headaches
Releasing the tightness held in the brow and temples that often stems from visual over-exertion.

Visual Heaviness & Blur
Refreshing the eyes when they feel "dull" or strained, helping to restore a sense of clarity and lightness.

Sensory Overload
Providing a necessary "reset" for a nervous system that feels over-stimulated and fatigued.

Long-term Preventative Care
Nourishing the delicate ocular tissues to maintain comfort and vitality as a regular wellness ritual.

Key Benefits

Rather than targeting symptoms individually, Netra Basti supports overall eye health and comfort by:

• Lubricating and moisturising dry, fatigued eyes.
• Supporting visual clarity and comfort.
• Easing strain and tension from prolonged screen use.
• Soothing irritation, redness, and sensitivity.
• Encouraging relaxation and nervous system calm.
• Rejuvenating the eyes for ongoing comfort and ease.

How to Prepare / Aftercare

Arrival
Please arrive without eye makeup or contact lenses.

The After-Glow
To protect the benefits, we recommend resting the eyes - avoiding screens, reading, or bright light - for a few hours following your session.

The Pathway
For lasting relief from chronic strain, Dr. Ajit often recommends a series of 3–6 treatments to fully replenish the ocular tissues.

Important Note

Netra Basti is a specialised therapy and not self-prescribed. At Ayurda, Dr. Ajit often recommends the suitability, frequency, and formulation based on your individual eye health and constitution.

Not Sure Where to Begin?

If eye strain, headaches, or visual fatigue keep returning despite rest or remedies, a consultation with Dr. Ajit can help identify deeper patterns and guide a personalised Ayurvedic plan for long-term support of the eyes and nervous system.

What our clients are saying

Loved the warm room and amount of oil. As a new mum it was lovely to have some time focused on myself, after the massage I felt refreshed, relaxed & revived!

Lwindie E. | Wellness Treatments

"Dr. Ajit helped me resolve a recurrent and deadly eye inflammation issue called as Uveitis. I suffered from this condition for 3.5 years.


My left eye would regularly inflame causing vision loss, floaters in the eye, pain, headaches and many more challenges.


The eye inflammation started impacting on my work and on my ability to drive.

Dr. Ajit provided a holistic treatment through a daily routine and eye drops. This helped me to combat my eye condition. I am extremely grateful for Dr. Ajit’s advice. He has given me my eyesight back."

Ayurvedic Insight

In Ayurveda, the eyes are not treated in isolation. They are considered an extension of both the nervous system and the digestive fire that nourishes perception, clarity, and vitality. When life becomes visually and mentally demanding, the eyes are often the first place depletion shows up as dryness, strain, heaviness, or dullness.

Netra Basti is valued because it provides direct nourishment to the body is most delicate areas. The warmth and unctuous quality of medicated ghee help counter dryness and over-stimulation, creating a sense of softness and protection around the eyes. Beyond physical comfort, many people notice a quieting of mental tension - as if the constant effort to “see, focus, and process” finally eases.

This is why Netra Basti is traditionally used not only for eye comfort, but as a rejuvenating ritual -one that supports clarity, steadiness, and a more rested relationship with the world you take in every day

The Ritual of The Quiet Mind

We often forget that our eyes are the most active "digestion" organ we have. Every second, they consume millions of bits of data, light, and motion. In the modern world, this "visual appetite" is never satiated, leaving our nervous system in a state of perpetual high alert. This is why, even when we sleep, our minds often feel "busy."

Netra Basti is not just a treatment for the eyes; it is a profound sensory fast.

By submerging the eyes in the golden warmth of medicated ghee, we momentarily withdraw from the world's noise. This "pooling" of warmth sends a direct signal to the brain to downshift from processing to perceiving.

As the heat leaves your eyes, the tension leaves your thoughts. You don’t just walk away with clearer vision; you walk away with a quieter mind and a softened perspective. It is the ultimate reset for the digital age, a way to reclaim your focus by first allowing yourself to blur the world away.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Ayurveda is the ancient healthcare system of India. It is a Sanskrit word - Ayur means 'life' or 'daily living' and Veda means 'science'. Ayurveda then is the name given to the scientific study of life, based on the eternal principle that everyone should live in a healthy & balanced state.

Ayurveda believes that a properly nourished body, that is free from toxins, is the abode of a creative mind and indomitable spirit.

Ayurveda can treat diseases of all systems of the body. There are special treatment for the diseases of the elderly, women and children. Disorders of the nervous, respiratory, digestive, circulatory and reproductive systems as well as infectious diseases, mental disorders and many more illnesses can be successfully treated with Ayurvedic herbal preparations & procedures.

Many diseases for which modern medicine has no effective cure are successfully treated by Ayurveda. 

Research institutes & Ayurvedic medical colleges in India are engaged in constant research and development which has resulted in bringing to light the efficacy of many age old formulations.

Well-documented studies confirm the breakthroughs in this field, including the successful treatment of diabetes, arthritis & cancer.

Modern medicine treats symptomatically rather than looking to the root cause of the problem. This stems from the view that all people are more or less the same. Ayurveda’s special contribution is healing the cause of the symptoms by considering the uniqueness of each patient and by helping each body to heal itself. 

Ayurveda has perfected healing treatments and herbal preparations to keep the physical, mental and emotional health of a person in its prime throughout life. It is contrary to the current practice of waiting until symptoms appear before getting medical help or only seeking treatment when a disease manifests.

Ayurveda has a simple treatment plan:

• Stop the further accumulation of toxins in the body by improving digestion. Food is then “cooked” properly, preventing the build up of toxins.
• Remove accumulated toxins from the body through herbal preparations and specific Ayurvedic treatments like massage.
• Nourish the depleted tissues through diet, herbal preparations & lifestyle changes.

• Ayurveda is based on the subjective understanding of the body.

• Ayurveda aims to improve the wellbeing of everybody and does not belong to a particular country or religion.

• Treatment is based on the individual as a whole.

• It is a much more systematic & holistic approach to achieve perfect balance between mind, body & soul.

• Whatever is present in the universe, Ayurveda recognises as also being present in the human body.

• The Universe according to Ayurveda is composed of the five great elements - Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth (Known as Panchmahabhuta).

• These elements are responsible for all the living and nonliving substances in this universe.

• The human body is also composed of the five great elements

• Man is said to be the microcosm of this macrocosm

• These elements are recognised in the form of three Doshas or biological humours - Vata, Pitta and Kapha.

• The three Doshas are the intelligences behind each and every function that occurs in the body:


Air & Ether = Vata


Fire & Water = Pitta


Earth & Water = Kapha



• The Doshas govern the psycho-biological and physio-pathological changes in the body.

• Vata, Pitta and Kapha can be found in every body cell, tissue and organ.

• The level of each Dosha varies from person to person which ultimately determines an individual’s body type (Prakriti).

• It is the most eco-friendly system of medicine as it only uses materials that are natural and compatible to the body.

• Each individual has a unique bodily intelligence that has the power to keep the body in perfect health as long as this intelligence stays in balance.

• Ayurveda gives us a detailed & logical explanation of way the body, mind & soul interact.

Ayurveda recognises three primary energies or Doshas in the body, Vata, Pitta & Kapha. Together they regulate every physiological and psychological characteristic from basic cellular processes to the most complex biological functions.

When these forces are in a state of natural balance the defence mechanism of the body works at peak efficiency. But when this balance is disturbed due to an incompatible diet, lifestyle, lack or excess of exercise or mental stress, then the body's immunity can be affected. This encourages the growth of bacteria and viruses which will cause sickness and disease.



VATA

Vata – represents momentum. It is responsible for all the bodily activities and sensations. It controls the movement of blood through the circulatory system, breathing, the delivery of nutrients to the cells and the removal & excretion of waste products.

Qualities - Cold, Damp, Dense, Heavy, Oily, Slow, Sweet, Stable and Moist

Some people feel clearer and more confident immediately because they finally understand what’s going on. Results vary based on the chronicity and depth of the imbalance. You can often feel a shift in energy, digestion, and sleep within the first 2–4 weeks of consistently applying the recommendations. Deeper, long-term conditions may require a commitment of several months.

No. Ayurveda is a root-cause approach. Results depend on consistency, and the most meaningful changes come from steady daily practice.

An Ayurvedic practitioner will carry out a through body assessment & case history to determine which of the three bodily intelligences are affected, whether Vata, Pitta or Kapha. The practitioner will then assess how deep this imbalance has gone and which tissues have been affected.

The practitioner will then assess whether the imbalance is in its preliminary stages or has gone deeper into the body to manifest as a particular ailment and will then structure a specific program for the client to bring the body intelligence back into balance.
