How the treatment works
Eye Care Therapy at Santhigram combines Nethra Dhara and Nethra Tharpanam. In a controlled setting a steady herbal decoction stream is directed across the closed eyes, followed by a retained pool of medicated clarified butter. Both steps are delivered by trained therapists to gently bathe the eye area, aiming to support comfort and surface nourishment without medical intervention.
Before treatment the therapist reviews eye history and current medications to choose the right sequence. The procedure is adaptable: Nethra Dhara’s flowing decoction soothes the lids, while Tharpanam’s medicated clarified butter remains in contact to condition the surface. If an active infection, recent surgery, or acute injury exists, the therapist will recommend medical clearance instead.
What to expect during therapy
Sessions take place in a calm treatment room at our Meadowvale location, where clients lie comfortably while the therapist administers the herbal stream and then creates the ghee boundary for Tharpanam. Cleanliness and practitioner attention are priorities; all oils and decoctions are prepared according to Ayurvedic protocol used by the centre and applied by trained staff.
During treatment you may notice warmth and brief blurring while the medicated clarified butter is in place; this is expected and temporary. Plan light activities afterward and consider arranging a ride if you are concerned about vision immediately following the session. Weather and winter travel in Mississauga can affect timing, so check evening and weekend availability.
Choosing this therapy locally
Eye Care Therapy is offered as a focused treatment at a set cost and time: $145 for 45 MINUTES per session. For commuters near Highway 401/407, Meadowvale Business Park, or Pearson Airport, scheduling outside regular daytime hours is available to fit shift work and travel plans without long waits.
When deciding, consider prior eye history, current prescriptions, and recent procedures — bring that information to your appointment. The therapist will advise whether the combination of Nethra Dhara and Tharpanam suits your needs, and whether medical clearance is necessary. This centre serves families and shift workers who need convenient, local Ayurvedic eye care.
