MAITRI ACHARYA

Myopia, or nearsightedness, can be a concern, and while it's often managed with corrective lenses, there are natural methods in Ayurveda that can help support eye health. To address my myopia naturally, prioritizing holistic health is key, encompassing your diet, lifestyle, and daily routines. First, consider your diet. Include foods rich in Vitamin A, like carrots, sweet potatoes, and leafy green vegetables. They provide beta-carotene, which is essential for maintaining healthy eyesight. Ghee, especially Triphala Ghrita, can be beneficial when consumed. One teaspoon a day taken early morning, ideally with warm water, can nourish the dhatus and support eye health. Triphala (an Ayurvedic blend of three fruits: haritaki, bibhitaki, and amla) is a reputed Ayurvedic preparation. You can make Triphala eyewash by soaking a teaspoon of Triphala powder overnight in a glass of water, straining it in the morning and gently washing your eyes with the liquid. This helps cleanse and refresh the eyes. But be sure to strain very well to avoid particles. Include eye exercises in your routine. Palming is a popular technique: rub your palms together to generate heat and place them gently over your closed eyes, creating darkness. This restive warmth can relax your eye muscles. Practice this for 2-3 minutes a few times a day. Daily routine also plays a crucial role. Ensure sufficient sleep as it helps rejuvenate the eyes. Follow the 20-20-20 rule - every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. This relieves eyestrain from prolonged screen use. Limit screen exposure and use computer eyewear to shield from blue light. Spend time in natural light, avoiding harsh indoor lighting whenever possible. Lastly, understanding your dosha can offer insight. Pitta imbalance often manifests as eye discomfort. Incorporate cooling practices and resources like cucumber slices on eyes, or rose water drops (after confirming non-reactivity) to manage Pitta and support eye health. Remember, while these recommendations can boost eye wellness, they do not replace professional medical advice for correcting myopia. Regular check-ups with a qualified eye care specialist are vital to assess and correct vision more fully.
