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.

Hello, Your condition seems to be under control with regular medication, but without complete healing. What specific health issue are you dealing with? Do you have chronic pain, digestion problems, blood pressure, diabetes, or any other long-term illness? Have you tried Ayurvedic or alternative treatments before? For a complete and holistic approach, Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause rather than just controlling symptoms. Please share more details about your condition, symptoms, and current medications. Based on that, I can suggest the best Ayurvedic treatment, lifestyle changes, and expert guidance for long-term relief. Let me know your concerns in detail.

Dealing with glaucoma is tough, huh? I feel you. While mainstream medicine focuses on managing symptoms, Ayurveda takes a deeper dive, aiming at balancing your doshas and bringing overall harmony. Though Ayurveda might not replace your current treatment, it could complement it and potentially improve your condition if handled properly. First off, we need to figure your prakriti, your basic constitution, so we can get to the root cause of your issue. Preety sure you might have heard of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha, those doshas. Any imbalance here could affect eye health. For glaucoma, it often relates to a Pitta imbalance, sometimes affecting your Pitta and Kapha. Before diving into remedies, make sure that your current meds are not changed or stopped without talking to your doc. Safety first, right? So, dietary suggestions. Include more cooling and hydrating foods - things like cucumber, aloe vera juice, and amla (Indian gooseberry). These can help soothe Pitta. Less spicy and oily, go easy on that stuff, it fires up Pitta. Herbal supplements like Triphala - have you tried it? It’s a classic, great for eye health. Mix a bit with warm water before bed. Half a teaspoon should work. Mention this to your doctor first, though! Lifestyle tweaks: keep stress levels low, maybe try some yoga or meditation. They can do wonders to calm the nervous system. Sleep's crucial, get your 7-8 hours nightly. Eye exercises can help too. Simple ones like gently moving your eyeballs up-down or sideways for a few minutes each day. But hey, remember, you gotta consult with an ayurvedic expert for personalized advice. Just ensure that any alternative treatment doesn’t mess with what you’re currently doing. Safety's the name of the game, and finding a specialist who can guide you through this detailed path really matters. Wouldn't want you compromising anything important.
