How to restore vision and stop wearing glasses with the help of Ayurveda - #107

Ayurveda can support eye health and potentially improve the clarity of vision through a combination of dietary changes, eye exercises, and specific herbal treatments. While it may not fully correct nearsightedness (myopia) like laser eye surgery, Ayurvedic remedies can enhance eye strength, alleviate strain, and promote overall eye wellness. One effective remedy is using Triphala as an eye wash. By soaking Triphala powder in water overnight and using the strained water as a rinse, it can soothe and cleanse the eyes. Ayurvedic herbs such as Amalaki, rich in vitamin C, support eye tissue health, while formulations like Saptamrita Lauha and Maha Triphala Ghrita are traditionally used to improve vision and reduce strain. Netra Tarpana, a treatment involving medicated ghee applied to the eyes, also helps nourish and rejuvenate the eye tissues. Incorporating foods rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, such as carrots and spinach, along with regular consumption of ghee, can further support eye health. Supplements like bilberry and ginkgo biloba, which you’re already using, are beneficial, but adding Ayurvedic herbs like Shatavari may provide additional support. Eye exercises such as Trataka (focusing on a candle flame), palming (warming your palms and placing them over the eyes), and regular blinking and eye rolling help reduce strain and strengthen the eye muscles. Although these remedies may not fully reverse nearsightedness, they can offer natural support for eye health, helping to reduce strain and enhance clarity. Consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice on formulations like Saptamrita Lauha or Triphala Ghrita is recommended.
