The Bronze Gokarnika is a classical Ayurvedic instrument traditionally used for administering medicated liquids in therapies such as Nasya Karma (nasal instillation) and Netra Tarpana (eye nourishment) and Karna poorana.

Hand-crafted from pure bronze, it combines durability, precision, and authenticity—ideal for controlled pouring of medicated oils, ghee, or decoctions during delicate procedures.

Its gently curved spout (gokarna-shaped design) enables accurate flow and direction, ensuring patient safety and therapist convenience. The non-reactive, heat-resistant bronze preserves the purity of the medicated liquid and maintains its temperature during administration.

A staple accessory in every Ayurvedic Panchakarma clinic, hospital, and wellness center, the Bronze Gokarnika reflects the union of traditional craftsmanship and clinical functionality.
