Karna Purana is a classic Ayurvedic ear oiling therapy that is an integral part of a healthy daily routine. It is the process in which warm, medicated oil or medicated liquid is gently, slowly poured into the ears. This lubricates the delicate filaments of the ear canal which sharpens hearing and removes impurities.
