Akshi Tarpana is a unique procedure where medicated ghrta/ ghee is retained over the eyes for a specific amount of time.
The medicated ghee nourishes and strengthens the eye structure. This is a very beneficial treatment for the following conditions:

A gentle massage is done on the head, eyes and face before a frame is made around both eyes. The frame is filled with medicated ghee. Once the eyes are covered with the ghee, the patient opens and closes them several times before the ghee is removed.

After the procedure you are advised to avoid the sun or other bright objects
