About Dr. Abrol

Netra Basti is the traditional Ayurvedic eye treatment that involves bathing the eyes in medicated ghee - 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 specialised Ayurvedic treatment for the eyes and nervous system. As the ghee is retained, it oozes 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.

Common Questions

Akshi Tarpa - Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Abrol reviews your full medical history and current medication before recommending Akshi Tarpa or any Panchakarma therapy, and coordinates your care alongside your existing treatment where appropriate.

This varies by condition and your body constitution (Prakriti). Dr. Abrol recommends a personalised course length after your first consultation.

The therapy itself requires an in-clinic visit, but international and NRI patients can have their initial consultation and treatment plan prepared online before travelling in for sessions.
