I’m sorry to hear about your daughter’s high myopia (minus 8 and minus 9). In Ayurveda, eye health is governed by Alochaka Pitta, and when there is an imbalance, it can affect vision. For high myopia, the aim is to strengthen the eye muscles, improve circulation, and pacify the Pitta dosha.

Herbs like Triphala can be very beneficial. You can give her Triphala ghrita (medicated ghee) internally, which is traditionally used for improving eyesight. Maha Triphala Ghrita can be used as eye drops under an Ayurvedic doctor’s supervision. Another option is Saptamrita Lauha, an Ayurvedic formulation that helps with vision-related issues. Ayurvedic eye exercises and eye wash with Triphala water can also help improve her eyesight over time.

Diet plays an important role too. Include foods rich in Vitamin A, such as carrots, leafy greens, and Amla (Indian gooseberry). Regular consumption of ghee and almonds helps nourish the body and eyes.

Could you please provide more details, such as:

When was her myopia diagnosed, and how quickly did it progress? Is there a family history of high myopia? Has she undergone any treatments or taken supplements? What is her current diet, lifestyle, and screen time exposure? This will help me give more specific advice and determine if further treatments like Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapies or lifestyle adjustments are needed.

Hello Mallia, since your daughter is only 5 years old medication prescribed here won’t be ideal without proper history taking but these guidelines may help. Daily Meal Plan

1. Breakfast:

Moong Dal Cheela: A savory pancake made from moong dal (split green gram) enriched with finely chopped spinach and carrots. Serve with a side of yogurt. Fresh Fruit: A small bowl of papaya, mango, or blueberries for antioxidants and vitamins. Warm Milk: 1 glass of warm milk with a pinch of turmeric and cardamom. 2. Mid-Morning Snack:

Carrot Sticks: Raw carrot sticks or slices with a dash of salt or hummus for dipping. Nuts: A small handful of soaked almonds or walnuts for healthy fats and vitamin E. 3. Lunch:

Khichdi: A mix of rice and split moong dal with added vegetables like spinach, carrots, and peas. Season with cumin and turmeric. Raita: A side of cucumber raita (yogurt with grated cucumber) for probiotics and hydration. 4. Afternoon Snack:

Smoothie: A smoothie made with banana, spinach, and almond milk, which is rich in nutrients for eye health. Roasted Chickpeas: A small bowl of roasted chickpeas for protein. 5. Dinner:

Vegetable Soup: A warm soup made with seasonal vegetables like broccoli, carrots, and tomatoes. Add herbs like coriander and ginger for flavor. Chapati: 1 whole wheat chapati with a small amount of ghee for healthy fats. Masoor Dal: A small bowl of masoor dal (red lentils) for protein and iron. 6. Before Bed:

Warm Milk: 1 glass of warm milk with a pinch of saffron for flavor and additional health benefits. General Dietary Tips: Hydration: Ensure the child drinks plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid Processed Foods: Limit sugary snacks, fast foods, and artificial colorings. Incorporate Colorful Vegetables: Include a variety of colorful vegetables, especially greens, oranges, and yellows, which are rich in nutrients beneficial for the eyes. Healthy Fats: Include sources of healthy fats like ghee and nuts to support overall health and vision. Additional Recommendations: Eye Exercises: Encourage eye exercises like focusing on distant objects and rotating the eyes to strengthen vision. Limit Screen Time: Monitor and limit time spent on screens (TV, tablets, etc.) to reduce eye strain. This diet emphasizes whole, nourishing foods that promote eye health while being suitable for a child’s palate. Give Amla jam, carrots, dates, raisins in excess.

That’s quite a high prescription for someone so young, and it’s important to approach it carefully. While Ayurveda has its own insights, this seems like a situation where you definitely want the guidance of an eye specialist too, to ensure nothing’s going on that needs prompt attention.

In Ayurveda, we’re often looking at the body holistically, considering things like imbalances in Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, and what may be at the root. Generally, when it comes to eye health, Pitta dosha is central, as it’s associated with vision and fire (think of your digestive fire, Agni, which supports your overall health, too).

One suggestion is to consider dietary adjustments that calm Pitta dosha. Introducing more cooling foods like cucumbers, coriander, and fresh leafy greens can be beneficial. These help in balancing Pitta and maintaining eye health.

Daily routine or dinacharya matters too—a simple netra prakshalana (eye wash) with cool water in the morning offers a refreshing start and can help soothe the eyes, especially if they’re feeling strained. Try ensuring your child’s overall daily routine reduces stress on their eyes, so encourage breaks from screens or close-up activities every 30 minutes or so.

Triphala, an Ayurvedic remedy, is used traditionally to support eye health. You might consider triphala water eye wash or taking it internally to support overall well-being. But, please do consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner first.

Lifestyle adjustments are key: ensuring your daughter gets ample outdoor playtime, balanced with periods of rest, supports general health. Consider incorporating some eye exercises like focusing on a near point and then a far one, to naturally engage and relax the eye muscles.

But yeah, just to reiterate, while Ayurveda offers some nice supportive measures, it’d be wise not to delay seeing a pediatric ophthalmologist just to rule out any immediate concerns or the potential need for corrective measures like glasses. The earlier vision challenges are addressed, the better the outcomes usually are.
