Karnapoorana is a premier Ayurvedic therapy for the treatment of a wide range of ear-related and cranial issues. Here, medicated herbal oils are poured in each ear of the patient, one side at a time, at five-minute intervals. Based on the severity of the injury or defect, the treatment can be repeated for an entire week as well.

The name Karnapoorana literally means ‘filling the ears’. The ear lobes of the patient are first gently massaged and lubricated with oils. The person is made to lie turned towards one side, and a special lukewarm purified mixture is poured into the exposed ear.
