Eyebright has been appropriately
named, high in Vit A it is a great nutritional herb for the eyes.
It is also nutrition for the liver at
the same time. If there is an eye problem there is usually also a
liver problem. If the whites of the eyes are discoloured and/or
yellowy, then the liver is weak or overtaxed. In allergic situations the liver is
also involved, so if you have "hay fever"/allergies of the
upper respiratory plus eye problems, then it pays to take care of
your liver as well by providing the nutrients needed.
When you wear dark glasses a lot, your
body has to use more Vit A than normal for sight, so eventually, if
you are not taking adequate Vit A in the diet, a deficiency may
occur, and the eyes may suffer.
Working under fluorescent lights also
causes higher use of Vit A and can also cause deficiencies in the
eyes if the Vit A in the diet is inadequate.
It is best to avoid the use of dark
glasses especially while taking the herb. Sunshine, or even simply
daylight, needs to be able to activate the herb in the eyes.
A great herb used on a wide scale.
USING EYEBRIGHT AS AN EYE WASH:
Empty a capsule into a container, preferably crockery or glass, add
boiled water whilst still very hot. Cover and steep for some minutes
or longer. Filter out all powder. (a coffee filter is good for this)
Use cotton wool swabs to swab the eyes, squeezing some of the liquid
into the eye, or use an eye glass to soak the eye. An eyedropper
could also be used.
A TIP FOR CONJUNCTIVITIS:
Use
cold black tea to swab the eye. A brilliant home
remedy that worked for myself, family and pets.
Common names: Eyebright,
Meadow Eyebright, Red Eyebright.
Precautions:
If using as an eyewash make sure all of
the herb powder is filtered out. Coffee filters are good for
filtering.
If on any drugs for any problem at all,
check first to see if this herb is compatible.
If pregnant or lactating seek advice
first.
Use
only as necessary.
If symptoms
persist please see your health professional.
