Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Sat Nam Lyn, Haritaki is used as a detoxification and rejuvenation for Vata constitution or imbalance. It removes excess Vata from the system, assists natural, internal cleansing, nourishes and rejuvenates the tissues, and promotes healthy digestion and absorption. It is highly revered in Ayurveda for its natural ability to increase energy, intelligence, and awareness. It is one of the three main ingredients in triphala (three fruits) which is a mainstay in Ayurvedic medicine. A day without triphala is like a day without sunshine!

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Thanks, Rebecca, for the additional info. And, Pradeep, you may also want to try washing your face and over the eyes with salt-water quite often throughout the day. You can rinse your face with plain water after a few minutes.

The signs of dehydration is therefore very easily felt in the eyes. When the eyes feel hot, tired, itchy, sticky, red .. one needs more water. Of course, there are other nutritional needs that need to be met to keep eyes healthy and the rest of the body healthy too. But, water, is a huge factor in setting right any problem. What I would suggest is to go for a multi-pronged strategy in dealing with this problem. Healing takes time and patience. Try 1) Washing with salt-water as often as possible, even before the next session of itching is about to start. You can notice this onset of stickiness/itchiness coming if you just allow yourself to feel the way your eyes feel now and then. 2) Try sipping lots of water throughout the day. 3) Try the facial exercises I had mailed earlier, to improve blood circulation. 4) When you get the kadukkai powder, you might also want to try drinking a glass of buttermilk/yogurt with a few spoons of the powder in it, on an empty stomach. This can help a lot in reducing the excess heat from the body. I have a feeling that the stickiness in blepharitis arises due to lot of heat in the eye region ( because of lack of blood circulation/dehydration/lack of nutrition ..). The body probably produces the sticky substance more as a sort of lubrication to the eyes ( it would have been watery tears if there was more water in the body). 5) You might want to look into nutritional intake, and a lot of greens to your diet. Try to feel how the eyes feel when you do each of the above steps. You may probably find more solutions to your problem with this exercise. One can do a lot to help oneself, than many doctors out there. Hope this helps. Gai Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook. http://calendar.
