Hi, there are some eyedrops which are really good and

specifically for cataracts. I don't have the name, but

if I get it I will let you know. In any case, you can

ask about eyedrops too, next time you're in an herbal

store. I'll let you know when I find out again, ok?

Have you tried raw potato cut in small sheets kind of cuts and allowing the

water to get into people eyes, it has cleaning properties and also seems to help

reduce swelling and infections.

It is an empirical knowledge.

ummm,

has anyone on list ever made the unfortunate mistake of rubbing their

eyes (or worse, trying to put their contact lens in) after using their

bare hands (and washing them well afterwards) to process fresh peppers

for cooking?

 

Perhaps I missed a vital part of the therapy's instructions.

small drop of tea tree oil in her neti pot when she had a sinus

infection and soon found out how easy it is for a 5 foot one tall

woman to hit her head on the bathroom ceiling.

I have heard of an old Mexican remedy to dissolve cataracts. It is said that

you need to put a few drops of fresh lemon juice into the eyes daily.

Peace, thyme.

however, in progressed conditions surgery is the only option

i wonder today how many ayurvedic physicians practice eye surgery as

per Sushruta? it seems to me that some traditional vaidyas in places

like Nepal are still doing these treatments.. .

hi dr muzumdar

 

i am not sure what you are referencing as my judgmental attitude - it

was a simple inquiry

 

as for lingnash being cataract, in an unpublished text co-authored by

ophthamolpogist dr. robert abel junior called " Ayurvedic

Ophthamology, the lead author dr. mana bajracharya correlates

lingnash with ametropia, listing seven different types (vattika,

paittika, kaphaja, tridoshaja, raktaja, parimlayi and pakshmakopa),

and general and specific treatment for each

 

as far as what i have been told, the late dr. mana was one of those

few physicians that had any practical experience actually performing

cataract surgery as per sushruta - i am not sure if the theses of

BAMS candidates are really comparable...

Discussions is ok, but why a judgemental attitude?

There is a natural product called Cineraria used in Western herbology

for cataracts. It is an extract from the Dusty Miller plant. It is

an eye drop.

There are

plenty of medicinal formulations but they have not yielded the

results. Have you used them to arrest or revert the cataract progress?

Dear

The unpublished text you have quoted cannot equate to the post-graduate theses.

Do you feel that all the post-graduate examiners of ophthalmic disciline

(shalakya) in India are inferior and don't have any knowledge of opthalmic

surgery? Have you ever gone through the BAMS theses to doubt their

comparability? Your last line of comment regarding comparison is what I call as

judgemental attitude.

Secondly, paksmakopa (a type of lingnash as mentioned by you) is basically the

disease of eyelashes and not the lens. Is this not sufficient to point out the

limitations of the knowledge of Ayurveda possessed by those considered to be so

called experts.

Thirdly, there are more advanced techniques of cataract surgery with more merits

and safety to the patient than what was practised by Sushrut. Does following the

old technique make one ayurvedic?

I opine because I know and I teach.

Dear Dr. Muzumdar,

 

I remain confident that this as-yet unpublished text most likely

supercedes any BAMS thesis on the subject because it was written by a

traditional vaidya with more than 40 years of experience, drawing

upon a hereditary family tradition of some 800 years, not to mention

edited by an ophthamalogist with several decades of experience

himself. Now compare this to a fresh-faced BAMS candidate who has

very little life experience, let alone clinical experience.

That was my error - the text states that pakshmakopa refers to

trichiasis, which is basically an in-grown eyelash, not ametropia.

It was listed below the six types of linganasha and I added it by

mistake in my haste.

 

However, you did not answer my original question. Precision with

regard to terminology seems to be important to you, and I was asking

a friendly question for clarification. Here was your statement:

 

> Ling-nash which is equated to cataract

 

From my understanding the disease category of linganasha is

comprised of six different types of eye disorders, or twelve if we

consider pittavidagdha drshti, kaphavidagdha drshti, etc.. Thus,

upon consideration, do you think it is correct to equate linganash

only with cataract?
