Re:my eyes!!!

[Guest guest]

I'm not sure I understand the part about the sun and your eyes, but

because of the condition of the Earth's atmosphere and global warming

the sun's effects on the eyes are more harmful now depleting your supply

of rhodopsin- a chemical that is responsible for maintaining night

vision. The phytonutrients contained in the berry Bilberry called

anthocyanins increase your rhodopsin- just as they do in carrots! So-

get some bilberries or take them as a supplement. Bilberries also

increase blood circulation to the retina- the large nerve of the eye.

There is very exciting research showing improvement to eyesight and the

halting of cataract's progression.

 

Raw juicing is great for the eyes and for your over all well being.( My

Green Power juicer was a big investment when I went raw 4 yrs ago- but I

absolutely adore it. champions are less expensive and also quite good).

 

This one is great for the liver and the eyes- and it is my favorite

blend because it also tastes so good :

Use only organic fruit- wash don't peel:

Sunshine Juice

5 carrots

1/2 beet

1 small apple- cored

a small slice of ginger (optional)

a squeeze of lemon juice (optional)

sprig of parsley (optional)

 

Also a tea decoction made of fresh parsley and burdock rt. is helpful in

supporting the liver and kidneys. Two of my favorite herbs!

 

Easy Raw Carrot Soup

3 cups fresh carrot juice

1 large avocado

handful of alfalfa sprouts cut into thirds

small sprig of parsley or cilantro leaves

 

1. make carrot juice.

2. Cut avocado in half.

3. Place carrot juice and avocado in blender, and blend until smooth.

4. Put sprouts and parsley on top of the soup.

5. Note: Any combination of vegetable juice can be used to make soup.

 

Raw Spinach Soup

2 cups tomatoes, or cucumber, or a mix of both

1 cup water- or young thai coconut water

4 cups spinach

1 medium avocado

1 inch fresh ginger- or to taste

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. mellow miso or nama shoyu or braggs

1 lemon, juice of

2 Tbs. raw apple cider vinegar

2 Tbs. virgin cold pressed olive oil

 

Blend all ingredients.

 

The eyes are sometimes an indication of problems with the liver/kidneys.

Perhaps it's time to focus on cleansing and supporting/protecting the

liver. I'm really guessing as I am not familiar with the condition you

described or what your over all health is like.

 

Good ol chamomile tea bags are soothing compresses. So are slices of

cucumbers.

 

I'm not sure what is at the source of your eye condition at all. Is the

tissue yellow- as in jaundice?. I would try a compress or some diluted

hydrosol in distilled water. Be sure to buy only the purest and freshest

hydrosol.

 

This below comes from Jeanne Rose ( I also like Myrtle and lavender

combined):

 

SOME TREATMENTS AND HYDROSOLS THAT CAN BE USED.

Hydrosols can be applied directly to the eye as a compress after eye

surgery or for irritated eyes.  For either of these conditions use the

following formula.

 

Formula for the Eyes

1 oz. Myrtle hydrosol         3 oz water          irritated eyes

1 oz. Chamomile hydrosol 3 oz water          sore or tired eyes

1 oz. Lavender hydrosol    3 oz water          conjunctivitis

Use distilled water for dilution

 

And don't forget when treating the eyes it is very important to

sterilize everything, all containers and utensils.

 

Take care~!
