To address your symptoms of dry eyes, itching, and reducing eyesight through Ayurveda, we’ll focus on balancing the doshas and nourishing the eye tissues. Since you’re taking triphala with ghee already, this is a good foundational start but let’s look at expanding your regimen for more sustained relief.
Firstly, maintain regular eye exercises. Simple movements like eye rotations or shifting your focus from near to far can boost blood circulation to the eyes. A simple practice would be to sit comfortably and look up, down, left, and right—holding each position for a few seconds.
Hydration is key. Ensure you’re consuming enough water and also consider including warm, freshly-prepared meals. Emphasize reducing Vata and Pitta aggravation, typically linked to dryness and itching. Foods that are cooling, sweet, and oily can be beneficial. Include ghee, milk, and cooling herbs like coriander in your diet.
Nasya therapy can be supportive for eye health. Consider using Anu taila as nasal drops daily in the morning—it nourishes the senses and supports detoxification pathways, which can indirectly benefit your eyes.
Applying medicinal ghee known as “Maha Triphala Ghrita” around the eyes may provide moisture and lubrication. It’s packed with Triphala and other beneficial herbs that protect and enhance vision.
Since your symptoms persist and eye issues can progress, it might be useful to consult with a local vaidya (Ayurvedic practitioner) to explore Panchakarma therapies tailored to you. They provide systemic balancing effects that could benefit your overall condition.
Include soaked almonds and soaked raisins in your diet to maintain eye health. Both these have nourishing properties for the eyes and help in keeping them healthy as you age. Implement regular breaks during screen time to prevent additional strain.
It’s also crucial ensure any persistent vision issues are checked by an ophthalmologist to rule out conditions requiring immediate attention.
