Eye Conjunctivitis - #19600
I’ve been dealing with eye conjunctivitis for the past few days, and it’s honestly driving me crazy. It started out with a little irritation in my right eye, but then it got worse. My eye became red, watery, and swollen, and I’ve been feeling like I have something stuck in my eye all the time. The worst part is the crustiness that builds up around my eye when I wake up. It’s so uncomfortable, and I feel embarrassed about how it looks, especially when I’m around people. I’ve been to my regular doctor, and they said it’s a mild case of conjunctivitis, possibly viral, but the treatment they gave me hasn’t really worked. I tried using some over-the-counter eye drops, but they only seem to give me temporary relief. I’m not a big fan of using chemical treatments, so I’m wondering if there are any natural remedies that can help with eye conjunctivitis. I’ve heard that Ayurveda offers solutions for eye issues like this, and I was wondering if there are any herbs or oils that could help treat this condition naturally. I’ve also been following some advice on avoiding touching my eyes or sharing towels, but the symptoms are still there. I feel like I’ve tried everything, and it’s just not going away. The redness and irritation won’t seem to go away, even after a week. Sometimes, it even feels like my vision is a little blurry because of the swelling and discharge, and I’m starting to get concerned. I’ve read that eye conjunctivitis can sometimes be contagious, but I’m not sure if the Ayurvedic approach would be able to help clear it up faster and prevent spreading it further. Is there any Ayurvedic treatment for eye conjunctivitis that could help reduce inflammation and redness in a natural way? I’m also curious about any herbs or practices in Ayurveda that could help boost my immune system and prevent this from happening again. Any advice on how I can manage this more effectively with natural treatments would be greatly appreciated. I really want to avoid using medications if possible and instead focus on holistic ways to treat eye conjunctivitis. What practices can I include in my daily routine to ensure this condition doesn’t come back, and how can I speed up the healing process?
