Process of Netra shuddhi

How to use Eye was cups ?

1. Wash the cups and full them with clean water .
You can also use triphala powder water for netra shuddhi (optional, not mandatory).
Process of making triphala powder water
A) Take 1 teaspoon of triphala powder and mix it in one glass of clear pure distilled filter water overnight. In the morning strain it with very fine cloth or tea strainer . Make sure no particle of triphala is there. You can wash eyes with this water.

2. Holding the eye cups in the hand, lower the head and press the eye cups on both closed eyes. Do so firmly enough so that the rim creates a seal. This seal will keep the liquid in the cup, so that you can clean out your eyes.

4. Blink the eyes 8-10 times ,move eyes in left and right direction ten times. Next rotate your eyes 10 times clockwise and anticlockwise .
