About Karna Purana
Karna Purana is the filling of the ear canal with warm medicated oil, retained for a few minutes on each side. Ayurveda considers the ear a seat of Vata, which is why the therapy is so calming.
It relieves ear pain, blocked sensation, tinnitus, jaw tension and neck stiffness, and is a classical part of Dinacharya — the daily routine recommended for healthy people.
It is frequently combined with Shirodhara or Nasya in the management of migraine, vertigo and chronic stress.
