  • Abstract:
  • Karnapooran is considered the ideal treatment for karna roga (Diseases of Ear). Karana purana refers to the method where warm, medicated oil or medicated liquid is gently and slowly poured into the ears. This process lubricates the sensitive filaments of the ear canal, enhancing hearing and eliminating impurities. The treatment starts with a massage of the ear and partial head. Following this, drops of warm medicated oil are softly placed into the ear. Karnapuran is a distinctive technique highlighted in the context of Vicharna Sneha, as described by Acharya Charak. Karnapoorana consists of two components: Karna and Poorana. Karna signifies ear while Poorana indicates filling. Thus, it is a procedure in which the ear is filled with medicated Taila, Mutra, and Svarasa, among other substances, for addressing various Vyadhis. The traditional Ayurvedic approach for ear treatment is a vital element of a healthy everyday routine. It is referred to as Karnapoorana – where medicated oil is dribbled into the ears, followed by a comprehensive massage of the ears. It is also understood that there are tiny bones in the inner ear known as ossicles that vibrate when impacted by sound waves. These bones stimulate nerve endings that transmit signals to the brain for interpretation. From the Ayurvedic viewpoint, the skin of the ear and the ossicles can become dehydrated, hindering their function. In Karnapooran, medicines are absorbed by the ear and take effect, thus Karnapoorna treats ear diseases and preserves ear health.
