Eyes are among the most sensitive and essential organs in the human body. And in Ayurveda, the eye (Netra) is considered a window to health, and taking care of it is an important part of overall well-being.
But today, with increasing screen exposure and modern-day stress, vision-related issues are becoming common. Fortunately, traditional Ayurveda offers many effective remedies focused on prevention, nourishment, and restoration of eyesight. These remedies have not only stood the test of time but have also shown promising results in modern clinical studies.
Why does vision deterioration happen?
Vision impairment can happen due to multiple reasons, some of them are natural, others owing to modern practice.
There is age-related degeneration, retinal damage, exposure to blue light from digital devices, or cataracts. And some common issues that then occur are - blurred or unclear vision, night blindness, eye fatigue, dryness and itchiness of the eyes, and many more.
The Ayurvedic approach
Ayurveda places strong emphasis on nourishing the eyes through both internal and external treatments. From diet-based therapies, to medicated ghee, and from herbal sticks for the eyes, to natural eye drops and pastes, there is a certain solution for different eye related problems.
For example, in the book ‘Holistic Health: Law and Facts’, Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna mention several Ayurvedic therapies.
One of them is the use of Triphala, with honey and ghee, and the book says that consuming Triphala with honey and ghee before bedtime can nourish the optic nerves and strengthen eye muscles.
It also mentions that a paste made using Triphala, ghee, honey, Yava (barley), Śatavari, and Madhuka when applied and massaged, leads to better circulation in the body and will result in improvement in eye strength.
Another Ayurveda therapy is using a herbal stick which is made with herbs like Haritaki, Vaca, Kuṣṭha, Pippali, Marica, and Bibhītaka, which are mixed with goat’s milk and ground well to form a stick.
This mixture, when applied to the eyes, is believed to help with blurred vision, itching, irritation, and similar problems.
Who should opt for Ayurvedic treatments?
Ayurveda has always emphasised balance and natural healing, and it does not put focus on quick relief, but rather long-term betterment, focusing on the root of the problem, and clearing it from within.
The vision treatments mentioned in the book come with proven clinical trials, and groups of people who saw visible results and better condition of the eyes within a year. And while these Ayurvedic solutions may not promise overnight miracles, they do offer sustainable, side-effect-free care that addresses both symptoms and root causes.
