Doctors’ responses
While retinal swelling is a serious condition that requires close monitoring, Ayurveda can offer supportive measures to help maintain overall eye health and reduce inflammation. Please note that these suggestions should complement, not replace, the care provided by your ophthalmologist.
1.Triphala Churna: Take 1 teaspoon mixed in warm water once daily (preferably in the evening). Triphala is traditionally used to support detoxification and eye health.
2.Amla Juice: Consume 15 ml daily on an empty stomach. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, it may help reduce inflammation.
2. External and Local Therapies:
Cleanliness and Gentle Eye Care: Use lukewarm, boiled water for face washing and avoid rubbing your eyes.
Foods to Include:
Green leafy vegetables, carrots, and beets for eye nourishment.
Fresh fruits like berries and citrus fruits for antioxidants.
Whole grains and light proteins to support overall health.
Foods to Avoid: Processed, oily, or overly spicy foods that can increase inflammation.
Reduce screen time and take regular breaks to rest your eyes.
Practice gentle eye exercises especially trataka and ensure you get sufficient sleep
Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to help manage overall stress, which can indirectly affect your eye health.

Hello Kiran,
I'm sorry to hear about your eye condition. In Ayurveda, retinal swelling may be seen as an imbalance of Pitta dosha affecting the eyes, often related to Rakta Dhatu (blood tissues) and aggravated heat in the body. While Ayurveda cannot replace conventional treatments like injections, it can support healing, reduce inflammation, and improve eye health naturally.
Diet and Lifestyle
Eat a cooling diet with cucumber, coriander, and fresh leafy greens.
Avoid spicy, oily, and excessively salty foods.
Stay hydrated with coconut water and aloe vera juice.
Limit screen time and wear protective sunglasses.
Medicine Support (Under Expert Guidance)
Triphala Churna: Known for its eye-cleansing properties. You can consume it with warm water or apply it as an eyewash (under supervision).
Saptamrita Lauh: Often suggested for vision-related issues and to strengthen the optic nerve.
Punarnava: Supports fluid balance and may reduce swelling.
Therapies
Netra Tarpana: A specialized Ayurvedic eye treatment using medicated ghee to nourish and soothe the eyes.
Nasya Therapy: Applying medicated oils in the nose may balance doshas and benefit eye health.
Jal Neti: A cleansing nasal practice that can improve overall head and eye circulation.
Yoga and Pranayama
Palming: Rub hands and place them over closed eyes for relaxation.
Bhramari Pranayama: Helps reduce stress and improve circulation to the eyes.
Trataka: Candle gazing practice that strengthens eye muscles.
Note please :
Retinal swelling is a serious condition that requires constant monitoring and specialized care. It is essential to continue your regular treatment under the guidance of your ophthalmologist. For a more tailored Ayurvedic approach, it is advisable to consult an Ayurvedic ophthalmologist who can assess your condition and recommend suitable therapies. Integrating Ayurveda with conventional care can provide better management and improved eye health.

Hi Kiran,
Thank you for sharing your health details. To help provide the best Ayurvedic advice, could you describe your overall diet and lifestyle? Specifically, are you experiencing any eye strain, headaches, or dryness in your eyes?
How would you rate your stress levels and sleep quality, and have you noticed any changes in your digestion or energy levels recently?

Hey, retinal swelling; that's tricky, right? Especially when you're not dealing with typical things like diabetes or hypertension. With your recent cataract surgery and lens replacement, you're probably feeling overwhelmed.
Anyway, according to Ayurveda, issues like retinal swelling can often be linked to imbalances in Pitta dosha. When Pitta's out of whack, inflammation occurs, and that's not just in your gut, but in your eyes too. Now, let's get into some things you can try.
First, try cooling off that Pitta. Incorporate foods that soothe Pitta – think cucumbers, ghee and milk. Avoid spicy and sour foods cuz they might aggravate it. Instead, go for stuff like coconut water, which is super hydrating and calming to Pitta. You might laugh, but aloe vera juice (just a small amount) could also work wonders.
Also, Triphala is often recommended. Just a teaspoon with warm water before bed may help cleanse and strengthen your eyes. But, be sure you're comfy with it; some folks are, some aren’t.
Maybe also consider Tarpana, which involves keeping medicated ghee over your eyes inside small flour dough walls (weird, I know, but hear me out). It needs to be done by someone trained, so don’t try it on your own. It can be really nourishing and balancing for the eye tissues.
Since you’re getting those IVGF injections, keep in touch with your primarily doc. Ayurveda complements, not replaces, your current treatments. And keep breathing. Pranayama exercises are amazing for Pitta reduction and reducing stress, which could just help overall.
Lastly, managing your overall lifestyle is important, right? Get proper sleep and avoid straining activities. Stay in sync with your daily rhythms, and for sure, pay heed to any sudden or severe symptoms by seeking immediate med assistance.
Hope you find some relief soon!
