No there is no evidence regarding this. You should go for Jivanti and Saptamrut lauh.
“Kindly follow up with that doctor for further consultation.”
Taking Brahmi is ok. But for your problem you can take triphala grith 1tsp twice daily with milk Can do netra tarpan in ayurvedic centre under ayurvedic doctor vigilance
Brahmi is a well-known herb in Ayurveda, mainly celebrated for its cognitive and memory-enhancing properties, but its effects on myopia (or nearsightedness) are not definitively supported by classical texts or modern studies. Myopia typically involves structural changes in the eye, such as elongation of the eyeball, which aren’t typically addressed by herbal supplements alone.
Continuing the tablets for the prescribed four months may not harm you, especially since you’re experiencing no discomfort or side effects. However, it would be unresponsible to rely solely on Brahmi for a significant improvement in vision related to myopia. Brahmi might benefit overall mental clarity and stress, which are indirectly supportive to eye health, but a direct correction of -2 eyesight is unlikely.
Integrating Ayurvedic principles, you could focus on a holistic approach to maintain eye health. Considering diet, lifestyle, and specific therapies can contribute to better ocular health. Incorporate green leafy vegetables, carrots and sweet potatoes, rich in Vitamin A, which can be helpful. Practise eye exercises such as palming and Tratak – concentrating on a candle flame.
Make sure your diet supports your total dosha constitution, ensuring proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients, which is crucial for eye health.
Regular, gentle eye massages and daily cooling eye washes, using pure rose water or triphala-infused water in the morning, can be beneficial for the health of your eyes. Minimizing screen time and taking frequent breaks also helps reduce eye strain.
While continuing with Bachari tablets might not pose a risk, it’s wise to consult your Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice. If any concerns arise, like persistent tension in your eyes or sudden changes in vision, seeking guidance from an ophthalmologist would be essential. Remember, integrating both allopathic and Ayurvedic approaches often brings the best results.
