Abstract

Shalakya tantra stands as an important aspect of Ayurveda, focusing on Urdhwanga rogas describing the disorders of the upper body, particularly those affecting the netra-eyes, shrotra-ears, nasa-nose, shiras-head, mukha-oral cavity. Ayurveda, with its core philosophy of Swastasya swastya rakshanam aturasya vikara prashamanam, underscores the preservation of health in the healthy individual and the alleviation of the disease in the afflicted. At the core of this approach in treating the netra rogas are the integration of Panchakarma, a set of five purificatory therapies, in directing the various conditions in the diseases of Shalakya tantra. These therapies, include Poorvakarmas like Snehana and Swedana and Pradhanakarma such as Vamana, Virechana, Anuvasana Basti, Niruha Basti and Nasya, offer a thorough management in treating the disorders related to the netra. This article compiles information detailing the knowledge of different Panchakarma therapies relevant to netra rogas. It emphasizes the efficacy of Panchakarma in addressing a spectrum of eye disorders including Puyalasa, Timira, Kacha, Abhishyanda, Adhimantha, Siraharsha, Sirotpata, Vataparyaya, and Anyatovata etc., In Ayurveda, treatment principles extend to Shamana chikitsa and Shodhana chikitsa. While Shamana chikitsa are a set of palliative therapies, Shodhana chikitsa stands out for its ability to eradicate ailments from their root and also minimizing the chances of recurrence. Thus, this article endeavors to explore the concept of Panchakarma in the management of different netra rogas, shedding light on its therapeutic potential in restoring netra swasthya.
