keratoconus - #22073

jaynesh
$3.51

I have been diagnosed with keratoconus in both eyes and recently learned that there is no known cure to reverse its effects. Given this, I am wondering if Ayurvedic treatments might offer an alternative approach to managing the condition. Can Ayurveda help in improving vision or slowing the progression of keratoconus? I would appreciate insights into whether Ayurvedic therapies or remedies could provide relief, strengthen the eyes, or offer any benefits that conventional medicine might not.

Hey jaynesh, beta i think you consult an ayurvedic netr chikitsak, procedure like Netra tarpan, netra basti can help you. Some netra yogas can be adviced by them Till then a general treatment for eye health - 1. Start Triphala Ghrita at bedtime (¼ tsp with warm milk) 2. Anu Taila Nasya (2 drops per nostril every morning) 3. Add Saptamrit Lauh with honey (morning and evening) Avoid- spicy, oily food Add amla juice atleast once in routine.

keratoeonus can be challenging condition in ayurveda it can be seen particularly as degenerative condition due to bata-pitta vitiation leading to dhatu kshaya(degeneration of structural tissue, rasa raita majjja dhatu)

ayurveda may not reverse but it can be managed by slowly progression and improving overall eye health and function

Saptamrit loha- 250mg twice a day daily with ghee punarnavadi mandur - 1 tab twice daily after food tiriphala grit - 1 tsp with milk empty stomach in morning ashwagandha capsule- 1 capsule twice a day with milk a/f

externally- Nasya- 2 drops of Anu tail daily in each nostril in morning

rasayana(rejuvenating) Amalaki rasayna - 1 tsp daily cows ghee daily 1 tsp yastimadhu 1-3 gm powder with ghee

Tarpana with tripphala grit under pamchakarma centre

yoga- gentle trataka, palming, blinking exercise pranayam- anulom filo Sheetal pranayam avoid excessive forward bend and inverted postures in yoga

avoid eye strain , screen overuse, late nights

we cannot do reverse corneal thinning we can provide nourishing, prevent progression and rejuvenating treatment

suggest to go for good ophthalmologist

In Ayurvedic understanding, keratoconus is related to imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta dosha, that affects the eyes. While Ayurveda may not offer a cure for keratoconus, it does focus on managing symptoms and supporting overall eye health. One core aspect is balancing the Pitta dosha, as excessive heat can impact eye health negatively. You might want to explore some herbal remedies, dietary considerations, and lifestyle adjustments that align with Ayurvedic principles.

Firstly, Triphala is a renowned herbal formulation in Ayurveda for eye health. It can help in detoxifying and nourishing the eyes. Using Triphala eyewash might provide some relief. To prepare an eyewash, soak a teaspoon of Triphala powder in a glass of water overnight; strain and use the liquid to gently wash your eyes. Do this in the morning and evening, if possible.

A diet that balances Pitta is essential. Include more cooling foods such as cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens, while reducing spicy and fried foods. Also, ghee (clarified butter) is considered beneficial for eye health. Taking a small amount of ghee daily might help in nourishing the tissues.

Practicing Trataka, an eye meditation technique, involves focusing on a candle flame or a distant object to strengthen eye muscles. Begin by focusing on the flame for a few minutes, gradually increasing the duration as comfort allows. This practice improves concentration and stabilizes eye movements.

Massaging the body with cooling oils like coconut or sandalwood oil may also help. A gentle facial massage, especially around the eyes, can improve circulation.

Minimize screen time and exposure to artificial lighting, as they might strain the eyes. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away.

Consulting with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner is crucial to receive personalized advice, as they can assess your unique constitution (prakriti) and current dosha imbalances. While Ayurveda provides supportive care, it’s essential to work alongside conventional treatment to manage keratoconus effectively. Always discuss with your ophthalmologist before incorporating any new remedies into your routine.
