Herbs & Herbal Formulas for Eye Health

[Guest guest]

Hi guys,

 

This is my first post, and I'm very glad to be here as I see that it is

a very active group. I have been interested in herbal medicine for

a long time, and have been going to a TCM doctor for about 15

years.

 

I am also actively involved in the NVI, or natural vision

improvement, movement. I studied vision improvement

exercises about 5 years ago, and I was so successful I have

decided to change careers and become a vision-training

optometrist. Becoming a VTOD will take me about 10 years.

Meanwhile I have a home page and newsgroup about vision

training.

 

There are many methods used in vision training, and one

approach is that of nutrition and supplementation, both with

vitamins and herbs. I am frequently asked about herbs that will

effect vision improvement. By this I mean herbs that will promote

the health of the retina and also that might reverse refractive

disorders such as myopia and astigmatism.

 

If anyone has info about this, please let me know. My TCM guy

showed me a red berry, which he said was used for retina

problems, but he didn't know what it was called in English.

 

Cheers,

Francine
