Netra Basti for Glaucoma?

[Guest guest]

The last time I had pancha karma, I had a program designed

specifically to help me with glaucoma. Therefore, my pancha karma

included netra basti and I was told it was excellent for glaucoma. I

have also read confirmation of this several times.

 

Today I was reading something about netra basti and the author stated

that it is contraindicated for glaucoma. No reason was given.

 

Here's what was said: "It is nourishing to the deep connective tissue

of the eyes, improves vision and is helpful for eye strain, dry eyes,

styes, squinting, drooping eyelids, optic neuritis, early stages of

cataract and Bell's palsy. It is contraindicated for conjunctivitis,

blepharitis, corneal ulcer and glaucoma."

 

Can anyone comment on whether netra basti might be

contra-indicated for glaucoma? If you agree, please tell me why. Thanks.
