Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi Jay, When I was in my early student clinic shifts, we had a patient with a noticeable cyst below his eye from a blocked tear duct. Our supervisor had us make herbal compresses of ju hua (chrysanthemum flowers) which were applied topically, moist and warm. I remember making quite a batch of them for the patient to take home for self-care. Unfortunately, the term ended and I did not see the patient again after the first few weeks, but he was experiencing greater comfort and his swelling appeared to be shrinking and less red. jayburkelac <jayburkelac wrote: Hello, Does anybody know of topical prescriptions for chronic eye drainage due to a blocked duct?

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Although I agree with Andrea about juhua, I would recommend you use chamomile as it is much more effective than juhua. The herb should smell good, fragrant, be bright in color and not be musty smelling..... good luck, Thomas P.S. This is also good for treating conjunctivitis and other cysts of the eye and other parts of the body.
