Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Famous Death Row Last Meals
These days, many of the beauty treatments you can get at day spas and salons include edible ingredients. People get salt scrubs, seaweed wraps and honey facials all the time. However, have you ever heard of a ghee eye treatment?According to Daily Candy, there is a spa in suburban Philadelphia that offers an Ayurvedic treatment called Netra Basti, in which a ring of dough is placed around the eye and the well is then filled with gently warmed clarified butter. Once the ghee has been poured, the individual receiving the treatment slowly opens their eye so that their optic nerve can get a buttery bath.
It is said to be an excellent treatment for strained vision, itchiness, dryness and glaucoma. It is also smoothes the wrinkles around the eyes. As we head into allergy season, I can see how it could be good for your pollen-inflamed peepers as well.

After we're done with that treatment, we can head over to The Yunessan Spa in Hakone, Japan, where you soak in a tub filled with ramen noodles, or take in a beer-barrel soak as well. Gives you meaning to "You Are What You Eat." More on Extreme Spa Treatments: http://www.spacast.com/2008/09/extreme-spa-tre.html

I'm waiting for the first lawsuit for a serious eye infection. Blephritis infected with anaerobic bacteria here I come!

If the butter does not contain any particularly harmful bacteria in abnormal concentrations, and assuming "clean" butter doesn't do anything to the eye, this shouldn't be a problem. That's a lot of "ifs", but claiming that reasonably bacteria-free butter would directly increase possibilities of infections is ridiculous.
