SINUSITIS

Sinusitis (Apeenasa) is inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, causing facial pain/pressure, nasal congestion, thick discharge, headaches, and fatigue. Ayurveda attributes it primarily to Kapha imbalance, with contributions from Vata and Pitta doshas, aggravated by weak immunity (Oja), impaired digestion (Agni), and environmental shifts (Kala and Desha).

Ayurvedic Understanding of Sinusitis

Root Cause Analysis Kapha aggravation leads to mucus accumulation blocking sinus channels (Pratishyaya)

  • Low Oja (immune deficiency) impairs resistance to infection
  • Seasonal (Kala) and environmental (Desha) changes—cold air, humidity, pollution—increase susceptibility
  • Ama accumulation blocks microchannels (Srotas), aggravating stagnation and inflammation
  • Vata-Kapha imbalance causes mucus buildup, dryness, and pressure in the sinuses

Symptoms of Sinusitis

  • Facial pain/pressure (around eyes, cheeks, forehead)
  • Nasal congestion and difficulty breathing
  • Headache, fever, loss of smell/taste
  • Thick yellow/green nasal discharge
  • Sore throat and cough
  • Fatigue, poor sleep, and loss of smell.

HEARING LOSS

Hearing loss, particularly sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), reflects reduced ability to hear sounds due to inner–ear or auditory nerve dysfunction. Nep at Healing Earth, we interpret this as Badhirya, a Vata‑Kapha mediated disturbance in Shabdavaha Srotas ( auditory channels) caused by Ama (toxins) and impaired nerve flow, leading to auditory dysfunction, tinnitus, and communication challenges.

Scientific Explanation of Hearing Loss in Ayurveda

Ayurvedic Etiology of Hearing Loss (Badhirya) Vitiated Vata and Kapha obstruct auditory nerve channels (Shabdavaha Srotas) causing diminished sound perception stagnation and poor agni block microcirculation, impair nerve nutrition Repetitive loud noise, ageing, infections trigger imbalance and nerve degeneration Ear diseases such as Karnanada (tinnitus) and Badhirya often co-occur, influenced by disrupted Prana Vata and Kapha blockage

Symptoms of Hearing Loss

  • Difficulty understanding normal speech
  • Muffled or distorted hearing
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Ear fullness, sensitivity to loud sounds
  • Fatigue and impaired communication

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Hearing Loss

CHRONIC COUGH

A chronic cough, lasting more than eight weeks, can significantly impact daily life. In Ayurveda, this condition correlates with Kasa—often Kaphaja or Vataja in origin, involving impaired Agni (digestion), Ama accumulation, and obstructed Pranavaha Srotas, which disrupts airway and tissue flow. Triggers include postnasal drip, allergies, infections, asthma, and chronic bronchitis.

Scientific Explanation of Chronic Cough in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, chronic cough is seen as an imbalance in the body’s internal systems, primarily the respiratory and digestive systems. Accumulation of toxins (Ama), impaired digestion, and congestion in the airways are key contributors to the development and persistence of chronic cough.

Symptoms of Chronic Cough

  • Persistent dry or productive cough exceeding eight weeks
  • Thick or scanty mucus, chest tightness
  • Throat irritation, wheezing, shortness of breath
  • Sleep disruption and fatigue from frequent coughing fits
  • Chest discomfort, postnasal drip

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Chronic Cough

1. Detox & Airway Clearing (Shodhana & Nasya)
Nasya therapy with medicated oils activates nasal and respiratory channels to clear mucus and reduce inflammation. Proven effective in chronic bronchial and post-COVID conditions. Talisadi Churna, a classical expectorant formula, showed clinical efficacy in a chronic bronchitis study, significantly reducing cough severity within weeks

2. Herbal Support & Anti-Inflammatory Medicines
Herbs like Pippali, Licorice (Mulethi), Honey, and Turmeric (Haridra) exhibit expectorant and anti-inflammatory activity, helping thin mucus and soothe irritation. Vyaghriharitaki Avaleha reduced symptoms in chronic bronchitis—pain relief, better expectoration, improved breathing

3. Digestive Strengthening & Eliminating
Herbs and formulations like Pippali, Sitopaladi Churna, Triphala, and Guduchi Kwath support digestion, enhance Agni, and prevent toxin buildup. Nasya and deepana help rebalance cough-prone doshas

4. Supportive Lifestyle and Interventions
Steam inhalation with Tulsi, Vasa, turmeric, and chest fomentation reduces congestion and inflammation

Holistic Healing for Chronic Cough at Healing Earth

At Healing Earth, our goal is to offer a natural, sustainable solution to chronic cough by addressing both the underlying causes and symptoms. Through Ayurvedic therapies, immune support, and personalised care, we help you regain optimal lung function and improve overall respiratory health.

This integrated Ayurvedic approach treats the root causes of chronic cough, providing relief through detoxification, inflammation reduction, and immune strengthening, ensuring lasting wellness and respiratory vitality.

EAR INFECTIONS

Ear infections—including otitis externa, media, and chronic suppurative types—are common conditions characterized by pain, discharge, itchiness, hearing challenges, and inflammation. In Ayurveda, such conditions fall under Karnasrava and are linked to Vata–Kapha imbalance, Ama accumulation, and obstruction of ear Srotas (channels).

Symptoms of Ear Infections

  • Ear pain (otalgia), tenderness
  • Ear discharge—clear, yellow, or bloody
  • Itching (Karnakandu), swelling, redness
  • Fullness or blockage sensation
  • Hearing loss or muffled hearing
  • Tinnitus or ringing sensation

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Ear Infections

1. Aural Cleaning & Local Therapies (Karnapoorana, Dhupana)
Arka Taila Karnapoorana proved as effective as clotrimazole drops in fungal ear infections (otomycosis), achieving relief in pain, itching, discharge, discharge volume, and mild hearing loss. Swarjikadya Taila with Gokshuradi Ghana Vati in Karna Pichu (ear packing) showed superior clinical outcomes over internal-only treatments in CSOM.

Karnadhoopana (ear fumigation) with Dhupana Dravyas (herbs like guggulu, nimba, vacha, etc.) helped reduce inflammation, pain, and discharge significantly.

 2. Nasya & Systemic Detoxification
Anu Taila Nasya, when combined with Karnapoorana, helped maintain patency of the Eustachian tube, reduce middle ear congestion, and control chronic ear discharge.

 3. Oral Medications (Herbal Formulations)
Palsinuron capsule + Sitopaladi + Ashwagandha + Punarnava + Godanti Bhasma regimen combined with Dashmooladi Kwatha and Shadbindu Nasya over 3 months provided marked improvement in hearing, blocked sensation, and ringing in adhesive otitis media. Sarivadi Vati and Gokshuradi Rasayana have shown efficacy in reducing discharge, ear heaviness, and promoting tissue healing in CSOM and hearing-related ear infections.

Gandhak Rasayana administered orally was shown to reduce fungal/bacterial ear discharge, itching, and pain with microbial clearance in otitis externa.

TINNITUS

Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears or head without any external source. It can range from mild to debilitating and may be accompanied by sleep disturbances, stress, and concentration issues. In Ayurveda, this condition aligns with Karnanāda, primarily rooted in Vāta–Kapha imbalances that affect sensory channels (Shabdavaha Srotas) and auditory nerve pathways.

Scientific Explanation of Tinnitus in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, tinnitus is often linked to an imbalance in the body’s internal systems, especially the nervous system and the sense organs. It is usually a result of Vata and Pitta dosha imbalances that affect the ear, brain, and nervous system. When Vata becomes aggravated, it causes dryness and irritation in the ear and nerves, which can lead to sounds being perceived when there is no external cause. Similarly, Pitta dosha may cause inflammation and heat, leading to pressure and discomfort in the ear, causing tinnitus.

Symptoms of Tinnitus

  • Ringing, buzzing, whistling, or hissing sounds without external stimulus
  • Ear fullness or pressure
  • Hearing difficulty, especially in quiet environments
  • Sleep disruption and concentration issues
  • Irritability, stress, or fatigue

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Tinnitus

At Healing Earth, we provide a holistic Ayurvedic approach to managing tinnitus by focusing on nervous system nourishment, reducing inflammation, and balancing the doshas. Our treatment plan is designed to address the root cause of tinnitus, offering long-term relief and improving ear health.

VERTIGO

Vertigo, known in Ayurveda as Bhrama, involves a spinning sensation—either of the self or surrounding environment—often accompanied by imbalance, nausea, and disorientation. It is commonly linked to the inner ear, vestibular system, or brain. Ayurveda views vertigo as an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, disrupting the flow of Prana Vayu to the head, causing dizziness and instability.

Scientific Explanation of Vertigo in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, vertigo is understood as a disruption in the body’s equilibrium or balance, often linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha (which governs movement in the body) and Pitta dosha (which governs sensory perception and heat). It is also related to impairment in the flow of Prana (vital energy) to the head, causing dizziness and disorientation.

Symptoms of Vertigo

  • Spinning or movement sensations
  • Difficulty standing or walking
  • Nausea, vomiting
  • Headache, ear fullness
  • Sometimes tinnitus or hearing loss

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Vertigo

SLEEP APNEA

Sleep apnea is marked by repeated breathing pauses during sleep, leading to poor sleep, fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and elevated risks of hypertension, heart disease, and metabolic imbalance. In Ayurveda, it is classified under Mahaswasa and understood as a disturbance in Prana Vayu, aggravated by Vata, Kapha, and Medas dhatu, which obstruct airway channels and impair oxygen flow.

Scientific Explanation of Sleep Apnea in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, sleep apnea is seen as a disruption of the Prana vayu (vital air) and an imbalance in the body’s airway channels. The condition is often associated with Vata dosha imbalances, which affect the movement of air and disrupt the normal flow of oxygen throughout the body. Additionally, Kapha dosha can contribute to the excess mucus and blockages in the throat, while Pitta can lead to inflammation of the airway, contributing to interrupted breathing.

Symptoms of Sleep Apnea

  • Loud snoring, often with breathing pauses
  • Gasping, choking sensation on waking
  • Excessive daytime drowsiness
  • Morning headaches, dry mouth
  • Difficulty concentrating, irritability, mood swings

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Sleep Apnea

1. Detox, Nasya & Body Therapies
Panchakarma purification—including Vamana or Virechana—targets accumulation of Kapha and Medas obstructing airways and metabolism Nasya therapy—like Shodhana or Shamana Nasya—clears nasal passages, supports eustachian and upper airway patency Shirodhara, Abhyanga, Udvarthana improve circulation, relieve stress, promote sleep balance

2. Herbal Medicines & Rasayana Formulations
Internal medicines such as Dasamoola Katutrataya Kashaya, Indukantham, Elakanadi Kashaya, Agastya Rasayana, Dasamoola Rasayana, Triphala, Trikatu, and Swasanandam Gulika support airway control, metabolic balance, and weight reduction Herbs like Ashwagandha, Jatamansi, Shankhpushpi, Tulsi, and Vasa calm the nervous system and support respiratory integrity

3. Diet, Weight Management & Lifestyle
Ayurvedic emphasis on managing root cause (Hetu Sankara)—including treating obesity and diabetes to reduce snoring and apnea risk Nutritional guidance: warm meals, avoidance of heavy or fried food before bedtime, hydration, and reducing alcohol or tobacco use Stress-reduction via yoga postures, pranayama, and adherence to daily routines (Dinacharya) and seasonal protocols (Ritucharya)

4. Breathing Exercises & Snoring Reduction
Specific yoga-asanas and pranayama exercises support upper airway muscle tone, reduce snoring, and manage mild OSA risk

TONSILLITIS

Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils, which are lymphatic tissues located at the back of the throat. It is commonly caused by viral or bacterial infections and results in sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and swollen lymph nodes. Tonsillitis can be acute or chronic and may lead to complications if left untreated.

Scientific Explanation of Tonsillitis in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, tonsillitis is seen as an imbalance in the Kapha and Pitta doshas that leads to inflammation and infection in the throat and tonsils. The condition arises due to the accumulation of Ama (toxins) and blockages in the Srotas(channels) that disrupt the normal flow of energy and fluids in the respiratory system. The inflammation is often exacerbated by weak digestion (low Agni), which allows toxins to accumulate in the body, making the tonsils more vulnerable to infection.

At Healing Earth, we provide a natural, holistic solution for treating tonsillitis by focusing on restoring balance to the immune system, reducing inflammation, and clearing toxins from the body. Through Ayurvedic treatments that combine detoxification, immune support, and pain relief, we aim to provide lasting relief and promote overall wellness.

Our goal is to help you recover from tonsillitis in a way that strengthens your immune system, supports respiratory health, and prevents future infections, ensuring long-term health and vitality.


By focusing on internal detoxification, immune support, and balanced nutrition, Healing Earth offers comprehensive care to treat tonsillitis, helping you achieve lasting relief and restoration of health.

DRY EYE

Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when the eyes fail to produce enough quality tears, leading to discomfort, irritation, and visual disturbances. Factors like aging, prolonged screen exposure, environmental pollutants, and certain medications can contribute to this condition.

Scientific Explanation of Dry Eye in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, dry eye is primarily linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs lubrication and movement. When Vata is aggravated, it leads to reduced tear secretion and dryness. Pitta imbalance may also contribute by causing heat and inflammation, further worsening symptoms. The accumulation of Ama (toxins) due to weak digestion can impair the tear film and eye health.

Symptoms of Dry Eye

  • Burning, stinging, or gritty sensations
  • Redness or inflammation
  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
  • Watery eyes (a reflex to dryness)
  • Eye fatigue, especially during digital screen use

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Dry Eye

At Healing Earth, we adopt a holistic approach to treating dry eye by focusing on restoring balance to the Vata and Pitta doshas, improving tear production, and nourishing the eyes and tear glands. Our treatment plan is designed to hydrate the eyes, reduce inflammation, and strengthen eye health.

Holistic Healing for Dry Eye at Healing Earth

Our therapies not only focus on immediate symptom relief but also improve the underlying physiology responsible for tear production and eye comfort. By combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with modern wellness practices, we ensure sustainable healing and enhanced eye vitality.

GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma is a progressive optic nerve disease often caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), leading to irreversible vision loss. In Ayurveda, it’s seen as Adhimantha or Timira, linked to Pitta (heat/inflammation), Kapha (fluid stagnation), and impaired ocular channels. Early detection and integrated care are essential for mental clarity and visual longevity.

Scientific Explanation of Glaucoma in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, glaucoma is primarily linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat, inflammation, and fluid regulation in the body, including the eyes. The condition arises when there is increased pressure in the eye (IOP), affecting the optic nerve, leading to damage. Additionally, Kapha dosha contributes to fluid retention and blockages in the eye’s channels. Ama (toxins) accumulation and weak digestion can also lead to blockages in the fluid pathways of the eye, resulting in increased pressure.

Symptoms of Glaucoma

  • Gradual loss of peripheral vision.
  • Tunnel vision (loss of side vision).
  • Eye pain or discomfort, especially with increased pressure.
  • Redness in the eyes and blurred vision.
  • Halos or rainbow-colored rings around lights.
  • Nausea and vomiting in acute cases (associated with high IOP).
  • Difficulty adjusting to low light.

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Glaucoma

1. Nasya, Tarpana & Virechana (Purification Therapies)
A clinical RCT on POAG patients combining Nasya, Tarpana, and Ashchyotana (Shigru leaf extract), along with oral Punarnavashtaka Kwatha and Gokshuradi Guggulu, significantly improved IOP, visual fields, and optic nerve function — compared to medication alone.

A case study also applied Deepana-Pachana, Sadyovirechana, Tarpana, Putapaka, Nasya, Leech therapy (Jalaukacharana), Anjana, and Agnikarma, resulting in better visual acuity, reduced IOP, and improved retinal sensitivity.

2. Rasayana Support & Neuroprotection
A current RCT protocol proposes using oral Rasayana Churna, Saptamrita Lauha, Yashada Bhasma, and Shigru Pallava Arka eye drops as adjunct neuroprotective agents to complement standard POAG treatment.

3. Panchakarma, Diet & Lifestyle
Panchakarma therapies like Virechana, Basti, Nasya, Shirodhara, and Tarpana help detoxify, manage dosha imbalance, and enhance ocular fluid circulation. Diet rich in antioxidants and ocular-supportive foods (berries, greens, vitamin-rich produce) is tailored to reduce inflammatory load.

4. Mindbody Practices (Yoga, Stress Reduction)
Stress plays a significant role in elevating IOP. Gentle yoga, pranayama, and meditation—not involving head-down postures—help reduce physiological stress and support ocular health.

At Healing Earth, we aim to provide a comprehensive Ayurvedic treatment plan that restores balance in the body, reduces inflammation, and improves eye health. Our holistic approach focuses on detoxification, nourishing the optic nerve, and regulating intraocular pressure, helping you manage glaucoma naturally.

By addressing the root causes and providing sustainable treatments, Healing Earth offers long-term relief, prevention, and improved quality of life, ensuring better vision health and protecting the eyes from further damage.

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that affects the retina in the eye. It is caused by damage to the blood vessels of the retina due to high blood sugar levels over time. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to vision impairment and even blindness if left untreated. Early detection and control of blood sugar levels are crucial to preventing or slowing the progression of this condition.

Scientific Explanation of Diabetic Retinopathy in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, diabetic retinopathy is associated with imbalances in the body’s metabolic system, particularly related to Vata dosha, which governs circulation, movement, and fluid balance in the body. Pitta dosha is involved as well, as it governs the sensory organs, including vision. Ama (toxins) resulting from poor digestion and imbalanced metabolism can obstruct the Srotas (channels), including those in the eye, contributing to the damage of the retina.

Symptoms of Diabetic Retinopathy

  • Blurred or distorted central and peripheral vision
  • Floaters, dark spots, or blind spots
  • Difficulty with color perception and night vision
  • Possible eye discomfort in advanced stages

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Diabetic Retinopathy

1. Detox & Channel Restoration
Ayurvedic treatments prioritize correcting root causes—metabolic imbalance, toxin build-up, and stagnation affecting eye health.

2. Therapeutic Interventions
An open-access case report highlights the effectiveness of an integrative plan including Nitya Virechana (daily mild purgation), oral remedies like Chandraprabha Vati and Nishamalaki Churna, and external care such as Thalapothichil. Notably, this led to reduced macular edema, improved vision, and better blood sugar control, even

3. Rejuvenative Nourishment
Durvadi Ghrita, an Ayurvedic medicated ghee, has shown promise in strengthening retinal capillaries and offering neurovascular support to help mitigate vascular

4. Nutraceutical Support

Refractive Errors

Refractive errors—such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia—occur when the eye fails to focus light properly on the retina. These conditions are among the most prevalent causes of visual impairment globally. While eyeglasses and contact lenses offer corrective support, Ayurveda offers a holistic, root‑level approach to eye health and potentially reducing dependence on corrective eyewear.

Scientific Explanation of Refractive Errors in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, refractive errors are associated with imbalances in the Prakriti (constitutional type), Doshas, and the eye’s internal channels (Srotas). The eyes are closely related to the Pitta dosha, which governs sensory organs, including vision. When Pitta is out of balance, it can cause issues with the eye’s focus and clarity. Vata dosha influences nervous function and muscle control, affecting the eye’s accommodation ability and flexibility, leading to conditions like presbyopia. Additionally, Kapha dosha can contribute to visual impairments due to excess mucus or fluid retention in the eye region.

Symptoms of Refractive Errors

  • Blurred vision—either near or distance, depending on refractive type.
  • Difficulty focusing in low light.
  • Eye fatigue, headaches, and strain—especially after screen time.
  • Frequent squinting to improve clarity.
  • Night vision challenges, such as difficulty seeing in dim conditions.

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Refractive Errors

1. Anjana (Herbal Eye Collyrium)
A case series involving Pathyadi Varti Anjana reported notable improvements in visual acuity, reductions in both spherical and cylindrical refractive errors, plus enhancements in corneal topography and wavefront aberrations—suggesting potential modulation of optical physiology.

2. Netra Tarpana (Nourishing Ghee Mask)
Though primarily explored for dry eye, methodologies such as Triphala Ghrita and Jeevantyadi Ghrita Tarpana nurture ocular tissues, reducing visual strain and promoting smoother ocular function.

3. Yoga, Eye Workouts, and Environmental

Hygiene Practices like Trataka (candle gazing) enhance ocular muscle coordination and focus. Screen-time moderation, regular blinking, blue-blocking protection, and cooling applications (e.g., rosewater eye soaks) help balance Pitta and reduce digital strain.

Holistic Healing for Refractive Errors at Healing Earth

MACULAR DEGENERATION

Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss in individuals over the age of 50. There are two main types of macular degeneration: dry and wet, both of which can lead to central vision loss, impacting the ability to read, drive, or recognise faces.

Scientific Explanation of Macular Degeneration in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, macular degeneration is primarily caused by an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs the eyes, vision, and sensory perception. It is linked to the accumulation of Ama (toxins) and the degeneration of tissues due to weak digestion and impaired circulation. These imbalances cause oxidative stress and inflammation in the retina and macula, leading to degeneration and vision impairment.

Symptoms of Macular Degeneration

  • Blurred or distorted vision, especially when reading or looking at fine details.
  • Central vision loss that makes it difficult to recognise faces or read text.
  • Difficulty seeing in low light or at night (night blindness).
  • Seeing dark or empty spots in the centre of the vision.
  • Distortion in straight lines, such as the appearance of wavy or crooked lines.

COLOUR BLINDNESS EARTH

Colour blindness—commonly manifesting as difficulty distinguishing between red, green, blue, or yellow hues—is predominantly a hereditary retinal condition caused by cone cell dysfunction. In Ayurveda, this visual impairment aligns with Pittaja Timira, a disorder where the Alochaka Pitta (the sensory fire governing vision) is disrupted. Modern medicine acknowledges there’s no traditional cure for congenital color vision deficiency, though assistive aids like EnChroma glasses and smartphone apps can help compensate

Scientific Explanation of Colour Blindness in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, colour blindness is believed to stem from imbalances in the Pitta dosha, which governs sight, vision clarity, and the functioning of sensory organs, including the eyes. Disruptions in the visual channels (Srotas) due to blockages and toxins (Ama) lead to difficulties in colour perception and visual clarity. Vata dosha may also play a role if there is nervous system degeneration, affecting the optic nerve and hindering the proper transmission of visual signals from the eye to the brain.

Symptoms of Colour Blindness

  • Difficulty distinguishing between colours, especially red, green, blue, and yellow.
  • Inability to see specific shades or the dulling of certain colours.
  • Difficulty in interpreting traffic lights, colored charts, or maps that rely on colour codes.
  • Poor differentiation between hues that are commonly confused, like red and green.

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Color Blindness

1. Initial Assessment

Confirm type and extent of color deficiency (e.g., Ishihara test) Determine underlying doshic imbalance—Pitta dominance, Vata influence, etc.

2. Purification & Rejuvenation

  • Snehapana + Virechana: To pacify Pitta and expel toxins
  • Nasya: Clears head channels and revitalizes sensory perception
  • Anjana: Applied nightly to sharpen visual processing
  • Shirodhara/Tarpana: Nourish and calm the sensory fires
  • 3. Herbal and Nutritional Support

Use of Pitta-pacifying herbs like Triphala, Amalaki, and Punarnava. Diet rich in antioxidants and cooling foods (e.g., leafy greens, berries, coriander)

3. Lifestyle and Supportive Practices

  • Trataka (candle gazing) to strengthen color perception
  • Reduce screen time, stress, and stimulate ocular-restorative sleep

PTOSIS (DROOPING EYELID)

Ptosis is the condition where the upper eyelid sags, sometimes covering the eye partially or completely. It may affect one or both eyes and can result in visual obstruction, fatigue, or asymmetry. Ptosis may be present from birth (congenital) or acquired due to nerve injury, muscle weakness, aging, or trauma.

Scientific Explanation of Ptosis in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, ptosis is considered a condition resulting from imbalances in the Vata dosha (which governs movement and flexibility) and Kapha dosha (which governs structure, fluid retention, and lubrication). These imbalances lead to the weakening of muscles that control the eyelid, disruption in circulation, and blocked energy flow to the eyelid muscles, resulting in drooping.

Symptoms of Ptosis

  • Upper eyelid drooping, partly or fully covering the pupil
  • Difficulty opening the eye fully, especially upon waking
  • Obstruction in vision, requiring head compensation
  • Eye fatigue and strain from trying to lift the eyelid
  • Facial asymmetry due to unequal eyelid positioning

Holistic Healing for Ptosis at Healing Earth

At Healing Earth, we take a holistic Ayurvedic approach to treat ptosis, focusing on strengthening the eyelid muscles, improving circulation, and restoring balance to the nervous system. Our treatments aim to address the root causes of ptosis and promote natural healing and improvement in muscle tone and nerve function.

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Ptosis

Core Treatment Principles:

  • Ayurvedic management emphasizes Vata balancing, muscle strengthening, and channel revitalization using these therapeutic approaches
  • Sneha (Oleation): Gentle Abhyanga (oil massage) using Vata-pacifying oils such as Ksheerabala Taila or Mahamasha Taila nurtures muscle strength and lubrication.
  • Swedana (Sudation): Warm steam or Nadi Sweda around the eyelids boosts circulation and neurological activity.
  • Nasya (Nasal Therapy): Administering Anu Taila or Shadbindu Taila via the nasal route enhances neurological supply to the eyelids.
  • Shirodhara / Shirobasti: Pouring warm, medicated oils like Bala Taila or Brahmi Taila over the forehead to calm Vata and support cranial nerves.
  • Netra Tarpana / Putapaka: Therapeutic ghee treatments like Triphala Ghrita and Jeevantyadi Ghrita deeply nourish eyelid muscles with Dhatu-strengthening effects.
  • Oral Therapy: Herbal rasayanas such as Ashwagandha, Brahmi, Vacha, Shankhapushpi, along with classical formulations like Rasna, Suvarna Bhasma, and Mahayogaraj Guggulu, are administered to restore nerve and muscle integrity.

CONJUNCTIVITIS

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, involves inflammation of the conjunctiva—the clear membrane lining the eyelids and covering the white of the eye. Symptoms include redness, itching, tearing, discharge, and discomfort. Ayurveda describes this condition as Abhishyandam, typically arising from aggravated Pitta dosha, with Kapha contributing to mucus accumulation and Vata causing dryness and irritation.

Scientific Explanation of Conjunctivitis in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, conjunctivitis is understood as a result of an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat, inflammation, and digestion. Pitta imbalance leads to excessive heat and inflammation in the eye tissues. Additionally, Vata dosha can play a role in dryness and irritation, while Kapha dosha can contribute to mucus accumulation, especially in the case of allergic conjunctivitis.

Symptoms of Conjunctivitis

  • Eye redness and pinkness
  • Itching or burning sensation
  • Watery or mucous discharge (clear, yellow, or green)
  • Eyelid swelling and light sensitivity
  • Feeling of grit or sand in the eyes
  • Crusting of lashes, especially upon waking

NIGHT BLINDNESS

Night blindness, also known as nyctalopia, is the difficulty or inability to see clearly in low-light or dark environments. While common causes include retinal disorders, vitamin A deficiency, cataracts, or age-related changes, the underlying issue is usually the retina’s reduced ability to adapt to darkness.

Scientific Explanation of Night Blindness in Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, night blindness is often related to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs vision, and Vata dosha, which governs movement and flexibility in the body, including the eyes. Ama (toxins) from poor digestion can accumulate in the eye channels (Srotas) and disrupt the normal flow of energy, affecting the vision and the ability to adjust to low light. Additionally, a deficiency in Ojas, the vital energy that sustains health and vitality, can weaken the eyes and contribute to conditions like night blindness.

Symptoms of Night Blindness

  • Difficulty or inability to see in dim or dark environments
  • Delayed adaptation to low light when moving from bright to dark areas
  • Blurred or lack of visual clarity at night
  • Eye fatigue, strain, or dryness in the evenings
  • Increased difficulty driving or navigating in low-light conditions

Healing Earth’s Ayurvedic Approach to Night Blindness

1. Purification (Shodhana)
First, clear the obstructing Kapha and Ama via Virechana (purgation) and Nasya (nasal therapy)—to restore ocular channel functionality and enhance ‘rod’ response.

2. Local Eye Therapies (Kriyakalpas)
Anjana (herbal collyrium): Applied to soothe irritation and clear obstructions. Tarpana or Putapaka: Nourishing medicated ghritas like Triphala Ghrita support rod function and regeneration. Shamana (palliative therapies): Utilizing Pitta–Kapha balancing herbs like Triphala, Yashtimadhu, or Bilva to rejuvenate vision.

3. Diet and Lifestyle Adjustments:

  • Eliminate Kapha-provoking foods: milk, yogurt, excessive sweets, sweets, and cold foods.
  • Instead, favor meals that enhance Agni: light, warm, Kapha-pacifying foods with digestive spices.
  • Practice vision-friendly habits: avoid heavy screen use at night, ensure restful sleep, apply warm eye compresses.
