is elaneer kuzhambu good for eyes and how to use it? - #2399
i’ve been having eye strain and redness from long hours on the computer. a friend suggested elaneer kuzhambu as a natural remedy for eye health, but i’m not sure how effective it is or how to use it safely. do i apply it directly to the eyes, or is it taken orally? are there specific conditions where it works best, like dryness or infections? i’d like to avoid worsening the strain with incorrect usage.

Elaneer Kuzhambu is primarily used in Ayurveda to improve eye health, but it is typically consumed orally rather than applied directly to the eyes. It helps in nourishing and cooling the system, which can be beneficial for eye conditions like dryness and strain caused by excessive screen time. The remedy works by balancing excess heat and reducing inflammation, which can alleviate symptoms of eye discomfort. It can be taken in small quantities, typically with water or as directed by an Ayurvedic practitioner. If you’re experiencing eye strain, it’s also important to take regular breaks from screens, practice eye exercises, and ensure your workspace is ergonomically supportive. Always consult with your Ayurvedic doctor for the correct dosage and usage based on your specific condition.
Elaneer kuzhambu can indeed be helpful for the eyes, especially for conditions like dryness, redness, and even mild infections. It’s an Ayurvedic eye drop that you apply directly to your eyes, not orally! This herbal blend works as a coolant and facilitates cleansing, which can help refresh and soothe those tired eyes you’ve got from screen time.
But let’s make sure things are clear, you know? First, wash your hands properly—seriously, it’s a must. You don’t want germs mixed with your remedy. Then, using the dropper, gently apply 1-2 drops into each eye, usually twice a day. Mornings and evenings seem to work well. Keep your head tilted back for a few moments after applying so the kuzhambu can work its magic.
Now, a few things to watch out for. If your eyes feel irritated afterward, stop using it and reach out to a healthcare professional. Also, if you’ve got any serious eye conditions or wear contacts, better chat with an eye specialist before diving into using it.
I’d also add—balance is key here. Try doing short breaks from the screen, maybe every 20 minutes, and focus on something distant to reduce strain. You could even pop a warm compress over your eyes; it’s surprisingly relaxing.
Just a heads-up though, if redness or strain doesn’t budge or sharp pain joins the party, you should really see an eye doctor, alright? They can rule out anything more pressing. Elaneer is a nice adjunct, but not a stand-in for professional care with potentially serious issues.
