Conjunctiva - #17056
Lately, I’ve noticed that my eyes have been irritated, especially in the mornings. The white part of my eyes looks a little redder than usual, and I’ve been feeling a scratchy sensation that I can’t seem to shake off. At first, I thought it was just dry eyes from too much screen time, but after a few days, the redness didn’t go away. I did some research and found out that the conjunctiva—the thin membrane that covers the front part of the eye and inside the eyelids—might be irritated or inflamed, which is causing the redness. The condition is called conjunctivitis, or more commonly, “pink eye,” but it’s not always caused by infection. The irritation isn’t painful, but it’s definitely uncomfortable. I’m not sure if it’s due to allergies, a mild infection, or some environmental factor, and I’m curious if there’s anything I can do to soothe the conjunctiva and reduce the redness and discomfort. I’ve heard about using saline solutions and avoiding irritants, but I’m looking for additional ways to treat it naturally. I’m also curious about whether Ayurveda has any remedies for conjunctival irritation or inflammation. I’ve heard that herbal eye washes or oils might help with eye health, and I’m wondering if something like Triphala or neem could be beneficial in this case. I’m all for using natural remedies, but I don’t want to make the problem worse, so I’d appreciate any guidance on Ayurvedic practices or dietary changes that could support eye health. Has anyone dealt with conjunctivitis or irritation of the conjunctiva? What treatments worked for you, and did Ayurveda help reduce the symptoms?
