What is scotoma and how can Ayurveda help with vision impairment? - #16669

Anonymous

I’ve recently noticed some issues with my vision, particularly a dark spot in my field of view. It seems to appear when I’m looking at something bright, and it makes it hard to see clearly. After researching a bit, I learned that this could be a scotoma, which is a blind spot or visual disturbance in the vision. I’m concerned that this could be a sign of a more serious condition, like macular degeneration or glaucoma, and I want to know how I can support my eye health naturally to prevent any further damage. I’ve heard that scotomas can sometimes result from issues with the retina or optic nerve, and I’m curious if Ayurveda has any remedies for conditions that lead to vision impairment. Does Ayurveda have any herbal remedies or treatments that support the health of the retina and optic nerve, or can it help with reducing visual disturbances like scotomas? I’ve read that Triphala, Amla, and Brahmi are used in Ayurveda to improve vision and protect the eyes from degeneration. Are these herbs effective in treating scotomas or improving overall eye health? If anyone has experience with scotomas or other vision problems and has used Ayurvedic remedies, I’d love to hear what worked for you and how you managed your eye health.

In Ayurveda, eye health is primarily linked to the balance of Pitta dosha, which governs vision and clarity. Scotomas and other vision disturbances are often seen as an imbalance in Pitta, leading to issues like inflammation or degeneration in the eyes, particularly the retina or optic nerve. To support eye health, Ayurvedic remedies focus on cooling and nourishing the eyes, as well as improving circulation to the visual system. Triphala, a blend of three fruits (Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki), is often used for detoxification and improving digestion, which indirectly supports eye health by enhancing nutrient absorption. Amla, rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, is specifically beneficial for strengthening the eyes and preventing degeneration. Brahmi is known for its ability to enhance mental clarity and improve vision by nourishing the optic nerve and calming Pitta. Additionally, saffron and ghee are considered excellent for nourishing the eyes. Practices like Trataka (a focused gazing meditation) can improve focus and eye strength. Ayurveda also emphasizes a balanced diet rich in green leafy vegetables, carrots, and other eye-healthy foods, along with sufficient hydration. Avoiding excessive screen time and stress can also help balance Pitta and protect vision. Many people find these Ayurvedic remedies helpful in improving their eye health and preventing further issues.
