|
Eyebright can help
overall eye health |
|
|
Eyebright is a
popular herb in Europe for use
during inflammatory
eye conditions. It
acts as an
astringent, meaning
that eyebright
decreases eye
secretions such as
mucus and tears. It
is also an
anti-inflammatory,
which decreases
swelling and redness
in and around the
eye. |
Eyebright is recommended by
natural health practitioners
for conjunctivitis (pink
eye), blepharitis,
eye fatigue and
allergic eye
symptoms.
Eyebright
supplements contain
the whole plant in
encapsulated or
tincture form. You
can also purchase
eyebright as a loose
herb or in tea
bags. These forms
are convenient for
using eyebright as
an eyewash or
applying it as a
compress. |
