Glaucoma treatment can be possible? - #19115

Namaste, I understand your concern regarding glaucoma and how it has been controlled but not completely treated over the past few years. In Ayurveda, glaucoma (known as Adhimantha) is associated with an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas, leading to increased intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage. While Ayurveda cannot reverse already damaged vision, it can help manage the condition effectively, prevent further deterioration, and support overall eye health. Here’s how: Ayurvedic Approach for Glaucoma Treatment 1. Internal Ayurvedic Medicines (to balance doshas and improve vision) • Triphala Guggulu – Supports eye detoxification and circulation. • Saptamrita Lauha – Strengthens the optic nerve and improves eye function. • Mahatriphala Ghrita – Medicated ghee that nourishes the eye tissues. 2. External Therapies for Eye Care • Netra Tarpana – A specialized therapy where medicated ghee (like Triphala Ghrita) is pooled around the eyes, promoting healing. • Anjana (Collyrium) – Ayurvedic eye drops or herbal pastes like Saindhava Anjana help maintain eye pressure. • Triphala & Rose Water Wash – Helps soothe the eyes and reduce strain. 3. Diet & Lifestyle Modifications • Eat Vitamin A- and C-rich foods like carrots, amla, and leafy greens. • Reduce salt intake, fried foods, and stress, which can increase intraocular pressure. • Practice eye exercises and Shiro Abhyanga (head massage) with Brahmi or Amla oil for better circulation. 4. Panchakarma Detox (If Applicable) • Virechana (Purgation therapy) – Helps remove excess Pitta and toxins affecting the eyes. • Nasya (Nasal therapy) – Using Anu Taila to clear pathways and improve eye function. Since glaucoma is a chronic condition, it’s important to have a customized treatment plan based on your specific body type and severity. If you are interested, I can guide you further or recommend an Ayurvedic ophthalmology expert (Shalakya Tantra specialist) for a detailed consultation. Let me know how I can assist you in your healing journey. Wishing you good health and strong vision.
