Marma therapy is an ancient Indian practice whose focus is the manipulation of subtle energy (prana) in the body for the purposes of supporting the healing process . Marma therapy is based on the utilization of 107 points in the body which are considered to be access points to body, mind, and consciousness. Knowledge of Marma allows the practitioner to influence the flow of prana through both the gross and subtle bodies for the purposes of restoring health and peace of mind .

​

In Netra (eye) basti treatment, warm ghee bathes the entire eye, one eye at a time. A flour dough ring is built around the orbit to encircle the entire eye socket.  Ghee that feels just barely warm to the finger, is slowly poured into the dough ring, starting at the lateral edge. With the client’s eyes closed, the “dam” is filled with warm liquid ghee until the eyelashes are completely submerged.

The client’s eye is then open during the treatment, staring up through the yellow pool of liquid ghee. The client will be able to see, but the image will be blurry. This incredibly relaxing “eye bath” treatment nourishes the deep connective tissue of the eyes, improves vision, and is beneficial for eye strain, dry and itchy eyes, sty, optic neuritis, early cataract, macular degeneration, and Bell’s palsy. In general, it helps to balance the doshas in the head.

People often get an immediately measurable improvement in visual acuity. For a fun experiment, one can use an eye chart to measure acuity before the treatment and an hour later.
