Sreedhareeyam Akshabeejadi Anjanam - #30844
I am kinda worried about my eyes lately. Like, for the last few weeks, I've been experiencing this weird dryness and itchiness, especially after staring at screens too long. A friend recommended I try Sreedhareeyam Akshabeejadi Anjanam, saying it helped them a lot, but I'm not sure how to use it properly. I've looked online and found conflicting info — some say to use it daily, while others say just a few times a week. Plus, I’ve noticed that my vision gets slightly blurry in the evenings, which freaks me out! Maybe it’s just tiredness? I don’t know. I tried some eye drops from the pharmacy but they only gave me temporary relief. I really want to try the Sreedhareeyam Akshabeejadi Anjanam since it seems more natural, and I hear it’s actually good for strengthening eyesight. Also, should I be doing anything else? Like, do I need to change my diet or practice eye exercises or something? Oh man, I didn't realize how much I took my eyesight for granted until now. Any input on how to use Sreedhareeyam Akshabeejadi Anjanam properly and if it really works would be awesome. Just feeling a bit lost here! Thanks!

When it comes to using Sreedhareeyam Akshabeejadi Anjanam, you can apply it before going to bed. It is best used at night when your eyes get time to rest and absorb the benefits without interference from screens or bright lights. Use a small amount, about the size of a grain, and gently apply it to the inner lower eyelid. Be prepared for a bit of stinging or watering as that’s quite normal. It’s often used 2-3 times a week rather than daily. If you experience excessive discomfort, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner.
As for your symptoms like dryness and itchiness, they might be caused by prolonged screen time which strains the eyes. It’s a good idea to take breaks every 20 minutes when using screens—look away for 20 seconds at something 20 feet away (this is called the 20-20-20 rule). Additionally, make sure your screen isn’t too bright, and use blue light filters if possible.
From a dietary perspective, support your eyes by including foods rich in Vitamin A (like carrots and sweet potatoes), Omega-3 fatty acids (found in flaxseeds, walnuts, and fish), and dark leafy greens which are high in lutein and zeaxanthin. Hydration is also essential, so drink plenty of water through the day.
Vision blurring in the evening could simply be eye fatigue, but it’s important to monitor this. Waiting for things to worsen before seeking help isn’t advisable, so if your symptoms persist or worsen, seeing an ophthalmologist might be prudent to rule out any underlying issues.
Additionally, practice Tratak or candle gazing, which is an Ayurvedic exercise for strengthening ocular muscles and improving focus. This should be done in a quiet, dimly lit room, staring at the flame without blinking as long as you comfortably can, then shutting your eyes to relax them.
These lifestyle and dietary adjustments, alongside proper usage of the Anjanam could support your eye health. However, don’t rely entirely on alternative remedies and consult your doctor if you’re concerned about persistent or worsening symptoms.
