Stress and overuse of the senses are among the most significant factors that age us, robbing the skin of its vitality and leaving the body feeling depleted. True beauty and resilience begin within, by nourishing the mind and supporting the delicate balance of prana and udana vata. Meditation is the ultimate way to de-stress, but equally vital is caring for vata dosha, the queen of the doshas. As the governing energy of movement, vata influences every aspect of the body and mind and holds the key to maintaining vibrant health.
Karna purana, the practice of applying warm oil to the ears, is a powerful Ayurvedic ritual to pacify vata dosha and support both prana and udana vata. This gentle practice nourishes hearing, creates a buffer between the senses and external stressors, and fosters a deep connection to the space around you while guiding your awareness inward. To perform karna purana, tilt your head to one side and apply 5-7 drops or ½ a dropper of warm oil into one ear. Allow it to absorb for a minute, then place a small cotton ball in the ear to retain the oil. Repeat on the other side.
Our Karna Oil is lovingly crafted with organic sesame oil, sunflower oil, calamus, and dashamula, creating a blend that calms the senses and restores balance. By integrating this sacred practice into your self-care routine, you invite peace, clarity, and harmony into your life while deeply nourishing your connection to the world within and around you.
