does eyebright work?

[Guest guest]

ive touched on this before. but my wife is currently using colloidal

silver on her eye. her sister had made her some drops that we thought

had goldenseal in them but all they have is eyebright. when she puts

the eyebright in her eyes they turn redder and it appears they are not

working. at first it did drain some puss out but now all it is doing

is turning them red. does eyebright help with pink eye any? we have no

goldenseal. all we have is silver. should she stop useing the

eyebright while useing the silver? thanks greg

Eyebright is excellent, although i would suggest using it internally

instead. There are many forms available. Which brand are you

currently using?

 

Choosing from the variety of eye herbals available, I would rate

bilberry as the best by far!

There are extracts, capsules and teas which are all very helpful.

 

Standard process carries the best bilberry in my opinion, although

enzymatic therapy has some wonderful supplements as well.

 

She needs to use an eyecup and thoroughly wash out the eye several

times each day. This will tend to diminish the soreness. I have

taken green tea (regular not decaf) in the past and made an eyewash

solution out of it ( it has a major cooling and soothing effect on

sore eyes). This will provide a measure of relief until the

supplements take effect. Personally I would question the value of

applying 'silver' or goldenseal or eyebright directly on severely

infected eyes.

This is interesting to me. My husband and I used this natural remedy

years ago after he sustained severe eye irritation/burns from

working around a ascetylene torch. Affirmative! This works very well!
