There are natural solutions for eye problems of all kinds, from the common to the more complex. The correct solution for you depends upon the symptoms that you are faced with. This is a brief look at some of the things you can do.
Dryness & Itching
Dry eyes are a symptom of mild dehydration. Basically, you just need to drink more water. The drops that are found in most drugstores can actually make the problem worse, over the long run. Your eyes may produce fewer tears of their own and many of the drops contain drugs that constrict the blood vessels, reducing the natural blood flow that provides nourishment to the tiny ciliary muscles.
The ciliary bodies allow the lenses inside your eyes to focus from near to far. So, dehydration and poor circulation can lead to poor eyesight, as well as other eye problems.
Itching is a symptom of exposure to allergens, but it is also caused by excessive dryness. If you work indoors, invest in an air purifier. Remember that if you use antihistamines or other allergy medicines, they are dehydrating. You’ll need to increase your water intake.
Poor Eyesight, Blurred Vision
Exercising the ciliary muscle by shifting focus from far to near in 10 second intervals can help visual eye problems. In addition, there are specific nutritional supplements that are very important for eye health. There are some well designed holistic programs that include exercise, improved nutritional intake and whole body relaxation techniques.
The Bates Method, for example, was created in the early 1900s, but has been upgraded and updated over the years, as scientific knowledge improved. Bates focused primarily on the muscles that surround the eyeball and control its movement. Modern exercises include strengthening the ciliary muscles, as well.
Diseases
Regenerative medicine for eye problems is a relatively new field of study in the West, but the premises have been in use for hundreds of years, primarily in Asian cultures. Using electromagnetic treatments, doctors have seen improvement in degenerative diseases, such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
These treatments are still advancing, but if you have a disease, don’t give up hope. The answer may be just around the corner.
Preventative Measures
Too much close work leads to nearsightedness. When you are reading or working, within “arm’s length”, look up and away every 10 minutes or so. Focus on a distant object for 10 seconds, and then return to your work. This prevents the ciliary muscle from stiffening and can preserve your eyesight, preventing eye problems in the future.
