About The Shalakya Chikitsa (Netra)

Shalakya Chikitsa is the specialized branch of Ayurveda that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and management of eye and ENT (ear, nose, throat) disorders. When focused on the eyes, it is known as Netra Chikitsa. This branch utilizes Ayurvedic principles, herbal medicines, eye therapies (such as Nasya, local eye drops, and medicated eye washes), and specialized procedures to treat various ocular conditions including conjunctivitis, cataracts, glaucoma, keratitis, night blindness, and other vision-related issues.

In a clinical setup, the Shalakya Chikitsa (Netra) department is equipped with eye examination instruments like slit lamps, ophthalmoscopes, and diagnostic tools to assess ocular health. Treatments often involve cleansing procedures, herbal eye drops, and external therapies aimed at restoring vision, reducing inflammation, and preventing disease progression. The approach is holistic, emphasizing detoxification, improving vision, and maintaining eye health through natural and minimally invasive methods.

Regular treatments in this department not only help in managing acute eye conditions but also promote long-term eye health, reduce dependency on surgical interventions, and improve quality of life.
