How to improve eye sight/Vision without any surgery.My eye sight is becoming week day by day and it is very difficult while driving.


Ranganath ji, as per Ayurveda, vision problems often arise due to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which affects the eyes. To improve eyesight naturally, it's important to focus on both internal nourishment and external care for the eyes. Here are some Ayurvedic recommendations: Diet: Consume foods that are rich in Vitamin A, like carrots, spinach, and amla. Amla is particularly beneficial for improving vision. Include ghee in your diet as it nourishes the eyes and strengthens the tissues. Herbs: Triphala is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation that can help improve vision. It can be taken internally (1/2 to 1 tsp mixed with warm water at night) and used as an eye wash (using the powder diluted in water). Also, Saffron can be beneficial for strengthening the eyes. Eye Exercises: Regularly practice simple eye exercises, like focusing on distant objects, rolling the eyes, or palming the eyes to reduce eye strain. Oil Application: Use Kumkumadi oil or Anu taila for gently massaging the area around the eyes at bedtime. This will help improve circulation and reduce eye fatigue. Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoid excessive screen time, and make sure to take breaks if you have to use electronic devices for long periods. Follow the Trataka (a meditation technique involving gazing at a fixed point, such as a candle flame) to strengthen the eye muscles. Panchakarma: For long-term benefits, Nasya therapy (nasal administration of medicated oils) can be helpful in balancing Pitta and improving vision. Regular Rest: Ensure you get adequate sleep and rest, as stress and fatigue can worsen eye health. As you are already using glasses, it’s important to consult an Ayurvedic doctor for a personalized treatment plan to address your specific condition. Follow these practices consistently, and with patience, you should start noticing improvement in your vision over time.

Glaucoma and ayurveda

150 days ago
1 answers

I was recently diagnosed with early-stage glaucoma, and I want to explore natural ways to manage it. Can anyone explain how glaucoma and Ayurveda are connected and whether there are effective treatments available? My main concern is the gradual loss of vision and increased eye pressure. The doctor suggested medication to control the pressure, but I’m interested in complementing it with Ayurvedic therapies. Does Ayurveda offer herbal remedies or therapies specifically for reducing eye pressure and improving eye health? I’ve read that treatments like netra basti and herbal eye drops are used for conditions like glaucoma. Are these effective, and how long does it take to see results? If anyone has managed glaucoma with Ayurveda, did you notice an improvement in vision or reduction in eye pressure? I’d also like to know if glaucoma and Ayurveda treatments require strict dietary or lifestyle changes. Any tips or personal experiences with natural eye care through Ayurveda would be really helpful.


As glaucoma is a hereditary condition It cannot be cured completely but can effectively be managed through ayurveda with the use of various therapies like virechan tarpan etc and various herbal drops like ras anjan and Swetanjan are highly beneficial in management of glaucoma

1 answers

I am highly myopic having macular cnvm in left eye from 1998 and peripapillary cnvm in right eye from 2012. Injection treatment is continuing in right eye. How to get cured from the problem atleast in right eye ?


The condition stems from vitiation of Pitta dosha, affecting the blood vessels in the eyes. While Ayurveda may not reverse structural changes, it can support eye health, reduce progression, and strengthen vision. Recommendations: Herbal Remedies: Triphala Ghrita: Strengthens eye tissues; take 1 tsp with warm water or milk daily. Saptamrit Lauh: Helps improve vision and nourish eye tissues. Amalaki Rasayana: Rich in Vitamin C, supports retinal health. Eye Applications: Netra Tarpana Therapy: Ghee-based therapy to nourish the eyes. Use rose water or Triphala water eye wash for daily cleansing. Dietary Adjustments: Include carrots, spinach, and amla for Vitamin A and antioxidants. Avoid spicy, fried, and overly sour foods to pacify Pitta dosha. Lifestyle: Minimize screen exposure and bright lights. Practice Trataka (gazing meditation) for improving focus and relaxing eye muscles. Panchakarma: Consider therapies like Virechana (purgation) and Nasya (nasal drops) to balance Pitta and improve overall health.

What Causes Eye Pain, and How Can It Be Treated Naturally?

I recently started experiencing eye pain, and I was trying to figure out what might be causing it. From what I understand, eye pain can occur due to infections, dryness, strain, or underlying medical conditions, but how do you know whether it's something minor or a serious issue? I read that eye pain can be classified as surface pain (caused by irritation or dryness) or deep pain (caused by internal eye problems like glaucoma or optic neuritis). What are the most common reasons for eye pain, and when should someone see an eye specialist? One thing that concerns me is whether screen time and poor eye care habits make eye pain worse. What are the best ways to reduce eye strain and prevent long-term vision problems? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural treatments that help relieve eye pain and improve eye health? I’ve heard that Triphala eyewash, Rose Water, and Netra Basti (eye oil therapy) can help with eye relaxation and pain relief—do these actually work? If anyone has dealt with eye pain, what was the cause, and what treatments helped the most? Did home remedies, eye drops, or lifestyle changes make the biggest difference?


Eye pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections (like conjunctivitis), dryness (often from screen time), strain, or more serious issues like glaucoma or optic neuritis. It’s important to differentiate between surface pain (irritation or dryness) and deep pain (which could signal internal problems). Common causes include overuse of digital devices (leading to digital eye strain), dry eye syndrome, eye injuries, or more serious conditions like a retinal detachment or glaucoma. If the pain is sharp, persistent, or accompanied by visual changes, you should see an eye specialist immediately. Prolonged screen time and poor eye care habits (like insufficient sleep or inadequate hydration) can definitely worsen eye strain and lead to discomfort. To reduce strain, it's important to practice the 20-20-20 rule (look at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds), ensure proper lighting, take regular breaks, and stay hydrated. Ayurvedic treatments like Triphala eyewash, rose water, and Netra Basti (eye oil therapy) are popular natural remedies and are believed to help with eye relaxation and pain relief. While there’s anecdotal support for these remedies, their effectiveness may vary, and they should be used cautiously alongside advice from an eye care professional. For those who have dealt with eye pain, treatments like warm compresses, eye drops for dryness, lifestyle changes, and proper rest have often been helpful. However, it's essential to seek professional evaluation to rule out serious conditions.

Spects

44 days ago
3 answers

My eyesight has been getting worse over the last few years. Initially, I only had trouble seeing far away, but now even reading things up close is becoming difficult. I recently got my eyes tested, and the doctor told me I need to start wearing spects. My prescription isn’t too high yet, but I don’t want my vision to keep deteriorating. I have been looking into Ayurveda’s approach to eye health and want to understand if it can actually help in reducing spects power naturally. Doctor, are there Ayurvedic treatments that can strengthen the eyes and improve vision without needing to depend on glasses forever? I’ve heard about remedies like Triphala, Netra Tarpana, and medicated ghee being used for improving eyesight. Do these treatments actually work, and how long does it take to see improvements? I also spend a lot of time on screens due to my job, and by the end of the day, my eyes feel dry and strained. Are there specific Ayurvedic solutions for digital eye strain and preventing further damage? I also want to understand whether diet plays a role in improving vision. Are there specific foods or herbs that support eye health and help in reducing dependency on spects? Should I continue using glasses while following Ayurvedic treatments, or is there a way to gradually reduce their usage? Doctor, please suggest an Ayurvedic approach for naturally improving eyesight, as I would prefer a holistic solution rather than just relying on glasses.


In Ayurveda, vision problems such as nearsightedness or farsightedness are often linked to Pitta dosha imbalance, which governs the eyes and vision. Ayurveda suggests a holistic approach to strengthen the eyes, improve vision, and address issues like digital eye strain. Triphala is a widely recommended herb for improving eye health; it can be consumed as a powder or tablet to nourish the eyes and support overall vision. Netra Tarpana, an Ayurvedic eye therapy involving medicated ghee, helps soothe, nourish, and rejuvenate the eyes, improving clarity and preventing further degeneration. This therapy is typically performed by an Ayurvedic practitioner and is known for its long-term benefits in restoring eye strength. For digital eye strain, Ayurveda recommends practices like palming, where you rub your hands together and then gently place them over your closed eyes, allowing warmth to relax the eye muscles. Amla (Indian gooseberry), rich in Vitamin C, is also beneficial for the eyes and can help protect them from damage caused by excessive screen time. Consuming foods like carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes, and coriander, which are high in antioxidants and nutrients, can nourish the eyes and support better vision. While Ayurveda can support eye health and slow the deterioration of eyesight, it is important to continue using glasses as prescribed by your doctor to prevent further strain and ensure proper vision. Ayurvedic treatments may gradually help improve vision and reduce dependency, but they work best when combined with practices like eye exercises, reducing screen time, and maintaining a balanced, nourishing diet. It may take a few months to notice significant improvements, so patience is key. In conclusion, Ayurveda offers a comprehensive approach to eye care through herbs, dietary changes, therapies, and lifestyle practices, which can help maintain and improve vision naturally.

What are contact lenses and how can Ayurveda help with eye health and comfort?

52 days ago
1 answers

For the past few years, I’ve been using contact lenses to correct my vision, and they’ve been working fine, but I’ve recently been experiencing some dryness, irritation, and discomfort in my eyes, especially after wearing them for long periods of time. I’ve tried different brands, but the irritation doesn’t seem to go away. My doctor suggested using eye drops to moisturize my eyes, but I’m wondering if there are long-term solutions to improving eye comfort while wearing contact lenses. I’ve heard that Ayurveda has a unique approach to eye health and vision problems, so I started researching whether there are natural remedies that can help improve eye comfort while using contact lenses. Does Ayurveda suggest any specific herbs, oils, or practices to moisturize and strengthen the eyes? Are there specific Ayurvedic oils like Triphala, castor oil, or ghee that can be used to nourish and improve eye health without causing irritation? I also want to know if Ayurveda recommends any dietary changes or herbal supplements that can support healthy vision and eye moisture. I’ve heard that Amla (Indian gooseberry) and saffron are beneficial for the eyes, but I’m unsure how they work. If anyone has experience with using Ayurvedic remedies for dry eyes or discomfort from contact lenses, I’d love to hear what worked for you.


In Ayurveda, eye health is deeply connected to the balance of the doshas, particularly Pitta dosha, which governs heat and moisture in the body. Dryness and irritation from contact lenses may be a sign of Pitta imbalance or lack of moisture in the eyes. Ayurvedic remedies can help alleviate these symptoms and support overall eye health. Triphala is one of the most recommended herbs in Ayurveda for improving eye health and vision. It can be used as an eye wash or taken internally to support the eyes and reduce irritation. Castor oil and ghee are also considered excellent for nourishing the eyes, as they have hydrating and soothing properties. For topical application, a small drop of castor oil can be placed around the eyes before bed to help moisturize and reduce dryness. Diet-wise, Amla (Indian gooseberry) is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which are excellent for eye health and can be included in your diet or taken as a supplement. Saffron is another herb known to support vision and prevent eye strain, and it can be added to food or taken in small quantities. Additionally, incorporating omega-3 fatty acids from sources like flaxseeds or walnuts and staying hydrated can help improve moisture levels in the eyes. Practices like Trataka (a yogic practice of focusing on a single point or candle flame) can strengthen the eye muscles and enhance focus. To manage dry eyes caused by contact lenses, Ayurveda also suggests reducing screen time, practicing eyewash with rosewater or cool water, and using cold compresses to soothe inflammation. If you haven't already, consider consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner who can offer personalized recommendations based on your specific doshic imbalance.

What Are Home Remedies for Dark Circles and How Can Ayurveda Help in Reducing Them Naturally?

60 days ago

I’ve been noticing dark circles under my eyes for quite a while now, and they seem to be getting worse despite getting enough sleep and staying hydrated. I’ve tried various creams, but they don’t seem to help much, and I’m getting frustrated with how tired and aged they make me look. I’ve read that Ayurveda can offer natural ways to reduce the appearance of dark circles by focusing on overall health, sleep, and circulation, so I’m wondering if there are any Ayurvedic home remedies I could try. I’ve heard that Ayurveda recommends using natural ingredients like almond oil, rose water, and cucumber to reduce dark circles and improve skin health. How do these ingredients help with the skin under the eyes, and what’s the best way to use them for maximum benefit? In addition to topical treatments, I’m curious about any Ayurvedic dietary changes that could improve skin health and help reduce the appearance of dark circles. Should I be eating more foods rich in antioxidants, like berries and greens, or focusing on improving circulation to the eye area? Has anyone here used Ayurvedic remedies to treat dark circles? What herbs, oils, or lifestyle changes worked best for you in improving the appearance of the skin under your eyes naturally?


Thank you for sharing your concerns. Dark circles can be frustrating, especially when they persist despite proper sleep and hydration. In Ayurveda, dark circles are often linked to imbalances in Vata and Pitta doshas, poor digestion, or even stress. Addressing both external and internal factors can help improve the appearance of the skin under the eyes. Topically, almond oil and rose water are excellent choices. Almond oil is rich in vitamin E and helps nourish the delicate under-eye skin, promoting hydration and reducing discoloration. Apply a few drops of almond oil under your eyes and gently massage it before bedtime. Rose water, known for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, can help reduce puffiness. Soak cotton pads in chilled rose water and place them over your eyes for 10–15 minutes daily. Cucumber slices can also help by soothing the skin and improving circulation. Internally, focusing on foods rich in antioxidants—such as berries, greens, and beetroot—can promote healthy skin and improve blood flow. Ensure you include iron-rich foods like spinach and lentils to prevent any underlying deficiency. Ayurveda also recommends reducing processed, salty, or overly spicy foods, which may worsen dark circles due to fluid retention or skin inflammation. Practicing Nasya therapy (application of a few drops of herbal oil in the nostrils) and gentle facial massages can help improve blood circulation around the eyes. Additionally, managing stress with mindfulness or yoga can prevent stress-related skin issues. I hope these suggestions help, and with a consistent routine, you should notice gradual improvements!

What is the oculomotor nerve, and how does it affect vision and eye movement?

51 days ago
1 answers

A few days ago, I went to an ophthalmologist for a routine check-up, and they mentioned something about the oculomotor nerve when discussing the control of my eye movement. I had never heard of it before, and I didn’t get a chance to ask more about it during the appointment. Now I’m wondering, what exactly is the oculomotor nerve, and how does it impact vision and eye movement? From what I understand, the oculomotor nerve is one of the cranial nerves, but how does it actually control the muscles around the eye? I’ve noticed that sometimes, my eyes feel a little tired, especially after reading or using my phone for too long, and I’m wondering if this is related to the nerve. Could problems with the oculomotor nerve be the cause of any vision or movement issues? I’ve also heard that if the oculomotor nerve is damaged, it could lead to double vision or difficulty moving the eye. Is this something that happens suddenly, or would I notice gradual changes over time? I’ve also read that some conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure can affect the nerves. If someone’s oculomotor nerve is compromised, how would an eye doctor diagnose it, and what treatments are available? Does Ayurveda have any treatments that can help improve eye health and nerve function naturally? I’ve heard that herbs like amla, bhringraj, and triphala are beneficial for vision. Can they also help support the oculomotor nerve? If anyone has experience with eye nerve issues, I would love to know what worked for you.


The oculomotor nerve, also known as cranial nerve III, plays a crucial role in controlling several eye muscles, enabling movements like looking up, down, and toward the sides, as well as controlling the size of the pupil and the ability to focus on objects (accommodation). It directly influences the muscles that help the eye move, and any disruption to its function can result in eye movement problems. If you feel eye strain after prolonged activities like reading or using your phone, it might be related to the strain on the muscles controlled by this nerve, although that would usually not be linked directly to nerve damage. However, damage to the oculomotor nerve can lead to issues like double vision (diplopia), difficulty focusing, or inability to move the eye in certain directions, and these symptoms can develop either suddenly or gradually depending on the underlying cause. Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or trauma to the head can affect the oculomotor nerve. An eye doctor would typically diagnose nerve damage through a series of tests to assess eye movement, pupil reactions, and visual acuity. Treatment would depend on the underlying cause and could range from managing blood sugar or blood pressure to surgery or therapy in more severe cases. In Ayurveda, maintaining good eye health and nerve function is seen as part of overall body balance. Herbs like amla (which is rich in vitamin C), bhringraj, and triphala are known to support eye health and may help nourish the nervous system, but they would not directly treat nerve damage. These herbs are often used to promote general eye health, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification, which might indirectly aid in improving eye function and potentially support nerve health. However, it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure these herbs are appropriate for your situation, especially if there’s any nerve damage involved. If you've experienced nerve issues related to the oculomotor nerve, discussing both medical and natural treatments with your doctor can provide a more holistic approach.

Ayurvedic Treatment For Myopia

116 days ago
1 answers

For the past few years, I’ve been dealing with myopia (nearsightedness), which has been progressively worsening despite regular eye care. While corrective lenses help manage the condition, I’m interested in exploring holistic and natural approaches to improve my vision. I’d like to understand more about Ayurvedic treatment for myopia and whether it can help in reversing or slowing down the progression of this condition. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda views myopia as a result of imbalances in the pitta and vata doshas affecting eye health. Does Ayurvedic treatment focus on nourishing the optic nerves and tissues while addressing lifestyle factors that contribute to strain and degeneration? Are there specific herbs or formulations, such as Triphala, Saptamrit Lauh, or Jeevantyadi Ghrita, that are recommended for strengthening the eyes and improving vision? I’m also curious about external therapies. Does Ayurveda suggest treatments like Tarpana (medicated ghee retention around the eyes) or Netradhara (herbal decoction pour) for managing myopia? How effective are these therapies, and how frequently should they be performed for noticeable results? Another question is about dietary and lifestyle changes. Does Ayurveda recommend specific foods, such as leafy greens, carrots, or amla, that support eye health? Are there yoga practices or eye exercises, like Trataka or palming, that can help relax the eyes and enhance their ability to focus? Lastly, if anyone has managed myopia using Ayurvedic treatments, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did these therapies or lifestyle changes help improve your vision or reduce dependency on corrective lenses? How long did it take to notice improvements, and were there any challenges in maintaining the regimen? Any detailed advice on Ayurvedic treatment for myopia would be greatly appreciated.


Ayurvedic treatment for myopia (Timira) aims to balance Vata and Pitta doshas, nourish the optic nerves, and address lifestyle factors causing eye strain. Internal remedies like Triphala, Saptamrit Lauh, and Jeevantyadi Ghrita can strengthen eye tissues and improve vision when used consistently. Therapies like Tarpana (retention of medicated ghee) and Netradhara (pouring herbal decoctions over the eyes) are highly effective in relaxing and rejuvenating the eyes, usually performed over multiple sessions under guidance. Dietary changes, including amla, carrots, spinach, and ghee, support eye health, while practices like Trataka, palming, and regular breaks from screens help reduce strain and enhance focus. While these methods may not fully reverse myopia, they can slow progression, improve overall eye health, and reduce dependence on corrective lenses with consistent practice and expert supervision.
