A fast-paced lifestyle, prolonged phone use, sedentary work, or lack of sleep often lead to unpleasant complaints such as knee or back pain, stiff neck, or burning eyes. Many instinctively reach for pills or injections, but these only address the symptoms, not the underlying cause.
Ayurveda is an ancient, holistic healing system that focuses on the root cause of problems. The millennia-old recipes of Vasti treatments are designed to rejuvenate damaged and worn-out body parts. Discover these Ayurvedic therapies, specifically designed to alleviate pain in various parts of the body. Whether you experience lower back, neck, knee, abdominal, or back pain, headaches, or burning eyes, the warm, herbal oils deeply nourish tissues, reduce inflammation, and restore the balance of doshas.
Netra Vasti – Oil Treatment for the Eyes
Ayurveda attaches great importance to our senses, and sight is one of the most crucial. In Ayurveda, ‘Netra’ means eye. Netra Vasti is a restorative and preventive treatment during which the eyes are immersed in warm ghee infused with beneficial herbs.
This helps to calm the Vata Dosha and increases the longevity of the eyes. Netra Vasti is an excellent eye-relaxing and rejuvenating treatment that nourishes the eyes, increases blood circulation, strengthens eye muscles, calms aggravated Doshas, and improves vision.

Summer, or Greeshma Ritu, is, according to Ayurveda, the time when the Pitta dosha intensifies, which can cause heat, inflammation, and tension in the body. Although Vasti treatments primarily aim to balance the Vata dosha, which is responsible for movement and the nervous system, they are highly recommended in summer as well. Drier air, the use of air conditioning, and changing dietary habits can all disrupt Vata balance, leading to dryness, stiffness, and pain. Warm oil Vasti treatments during this period also help nourish and hydrate tissues, counteracting dryness and alleviating pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Furthermore, their calming effect on the nervous system contributes to relieving stress and anxiety, which can also be a common problem during summer heat.
