In Karna Puran or ear therapy, the ears are filled with herbo-mineral oils which lubricate the delicate filaments of the ear canal, dislodging impurities and sharpening hearing.
Karna Puran creates a feeling of deep restfulness and may be useful in treating insomnia. Earaches, deafness, ringing of the ears, headaches, giddiness, as well as tooth and gum diseases may benefit.
Our senses are connected to the five elements. Hearing is connected to air and space so it is a location where those elements or Vata collects. The treatment is very effective in reducing Vata in the body. It is especially recommended for jaw and neck tensions, ringing in the ears, Vata headaches, itching and dryness in the ears.
During Karna Purana, each ear, in turn, is filled with warm oil and the neck, ears and jaw area of the face are well massaged along with the marma points of the face.
