Karna Purna is the simple and ancient Ayurvedic treatment that soothes and nourishes the ear with warm organic sesame oil. The ear is the seat of Vata, hence Karna Purna is a beautiful way to pacify any Vata imbalance.
 
What are some Vata Imbalances?              
The American city lifestyle, especially Silicon Valley, has one of the most Vata unbalancing lifestyles. The constant "on the go", the multitudes of "multi-tasking", the hundred different roles one person has to play each day, are just a few reasons why our vata gets imbalanced.  Vata is associated with the element air, which has characteristics of movement. So, the more you're in constant motion, physically and mentally, the more likely your vata is imbalanced. 
 
What are the signs of imbalance?
It's pretty easy to see signs of when your vata is imbalanced.  Here are some of the signs: When you're feeling mentally scattered, have a lack of focus, feel chatty without anything concrete to say, if you're feeling anxious and fearful without any particular reason or if you're feeling constipated, indecisive, spacey, ungrounded, agitated and easily overwhelmed by too many things happening at the same time, then your Vata is off. 
 
Also, different weather patterns have different unbalancing acts as well. For example, yesterday I felt really scattered and did not or could not focus on the task in front of me. I kept forgetting things, kept browsing the net without really looking at anything. It was a classic case of vata imbalance which, I'm betting was caused by the cold windy day. Fall is the season when Vata is pre-dominant because of the cold and windy weather conditions.
 
Solution
The ideal would be to start with a warm organic vata pacifying oil massage (Abhyanga), followed by a soothing ear treatment (Karna Purna).  But you can also just get the Karna Purna by itself as well.  Come experience, how profound an effect a simple ear treatment can have on the system. After a Karna Purna people report that they find a new found clarity in their hearing. So, cut through all the chaos and noise and experience this ancient yet highly effective Ayurvedic treatment. This treatment leaves you in calm, focused and grounded.
