I use a cool tea of nettle. It’s a great anti-histamine.
Hope this helps!

Harmony,
Do you put it in the eye?

Brigham tea orally is a good fix. Chamomile tea or plantain tea (or both) in the eye might make things less irritated too. See the Chamomile module.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

I tried a chamomile infusion, strained very well, and it irritated my eyes and made them itch more. Would this be a sign of allergy to chamomile? Or just angry eyes?:/

Thanks Doc,
Changing the subject a bit:
If I don’t have access to Brigham Tea, what is another really good antihistamine?
Could I mix goldenrod and elder flowers for that?
-
I haven’t used either of those in the eye so can’t say. They’d both be good internally.

Doc, If using plantain for the eyes, could I make a hot tea and let it cool? Or would the properties needed to soothe the eye be lost in the heat? (I know that typically plantain doesn’t like to be heated.)
-
As long as you don’t boil the herbs it won’t suffer too much. Or, you could do a cold infusion.

<sub>Doc, is there a protocol for maintaining or reversing the blisters on the fuch’s dystrophy? I’m 71 yrs old, chemical sensitive and after human tissue implant will have to use prednisolone for the rest of my life. Also have cataracts. They suggest surgery in the next four months or go blind I was told. I’m able to drive, read, etc. it’s just somewhat blurry. </sub>

How to decide between the Eyebright Tincture and the Eye Support Tincture?
1 user thanked author for this post.

I’d also like to know the difference between these two and how to choose. Thanks for asking this question.
-
Eyebright is a single plant. Eye Support is a formula that contains that plant and a few others.

Sorry, I meant when to use just eyebright and when the formula would be more useful.
-
The formula is broader spectrum and a better choice.

For cataracts and Fuch’s dystrophy I ordered the Eye Support for internal use but I am using, at the moment, Eyebright Plus a Dr. Christopher formula internally and a few drops in an eye cup diluted with pure water 3 x’s a day for five minutes is the recommendation. I also use a drop of castor oil on the eyelids at night. I don’t know if it will reverse anything but I will try to keep all the parts God gave me!

I have always wondered about herbs and if they can be used in the eyes. I enjoyed reading this thread, it was informative and stoked my curiosity about it even more. Thank you guys!

Along similar lines of eye issues, a friend approached me with an eye problem. She has been diagnosed with Branch Retinol Vein Occlusion in her right eye as the result of a stroke a few years ago. Until recently she was getting needles in her eye to stop the ‘bleeding’ and keep her vision. The shots are no longer covered by her insurance and she cannot afford them. She asked if there is any herb or herb combination that could help her. She isn’t on any other medication. I’m looking for help on this one. It is above my comfort level. Thank you so much for any suggestions.
