In simple terms, it is the filling up of each ear – not at the same time – with warm, medicated oil. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this therapeutic treatment has profound effects, because of the connection between the ear and the Vata dosha, which pertains to the ether and air element we all have, within. On the other hand, from a physiological perspective, the small bones in the inner ear, called ossicles, stimulate nerve endings, transmitting signals to the brain. If these inner bones dry out, it compromises the functionality of the sense of hearing. 

Ayurveda has understood for thousands of years the connection between hearing loss and an accelerated brain atrophy. Yes you read that correctly –  age-related hearing loss leads to cognitive decline. Karana Purana nourishes the acoustic nerve and improves signal quality to the brain, whilst enhancing the interpretation of sounds by the hearing centre in the brain.
