nayanamritam kuzhambu for eye irritation—is it effective? - #2268
I’ve had constant eye irritation and redness for weeks now. The ophthalmologist gave me drops, but they sting a lot. Someone suggested trying Nayanamritam Kuzhambu, an Ayurvedic eye drop. Has anyone used this before? How effective is it for chronic eye problems, and does it have any side effects like burning or blurred vision?

Nayanamritam Kuzhambu is an Ayurvedic eye drop used to relieve eye irritation, redness, and discomfort. It typically contains a blend of herbal ingredients that are soothing and can help to balance the eyes’ moisture levels. Many people find it effective for chronic eye conditions like dryness, irritation, and redness, as it nourishes and supports eye health. However, it may cause a mild burning sensation initially, which is normal as the herbal ingredients take effect. If you experience persistent discomfort or blurred vision, it’s important to discontinue use and consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or an eye specialist to ensure it is appropriate for your condition.
Hey! Believe it or not, Nayanamritam Kuzhambu is quite popular in Ayurveda for soothing the eyes. It’s designed with herbs like Triphala and Yashtimadhu, known for their benefits in reducing inflammation and promoting eye health. I, as an Ayurvedic practitioner, often come across folks who see improvement in their eye discomfort with this preparation. Its cooling properties might indeed help with reducing redness and irritation.
That said, if your eyes are super sensitive, there’s a slight possibility of mild burning sensation initially. Ayurveda stresses tailoring treatments to individual constitution (or prakriti), so if you’re more Vata dominant, there might be some dryness or irritation. However, in Pitta imbalances, where inflammation is common, it usually does good.
To avoid any surprises, try a small patch test with it. Dilute a tiny amount with clean water, apply and observe. If it burns or blurs your vision thereafter, maybe it’s best not to continue using it but instead consult your Ayurvedic doc.
Remember, eye health isn’t just about topical drops. Ensure you’re not overstraining your eyes—take regular breaks from screens, blink often, and practice eye exercises. Add cooling foods like cucumber, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated – this helps the whole system, ya know?
Balance is key, and if symptoms persist or worsen, check back with the doctor or even look for a specialist in Ayurvedic medicine. Always good to be on the safe side.
Oh, by the way, mention any other meds or treatments you’re using to avoid any crazy interactions. Just double-check things, Ayurveda can gently blend with other treatments, but safety first!👍
