I'm sorry to hear about your struggle with uveitis. Given that conventional treatments have not provided sufficient relief, you may be exploring other options such as Ayurveda. While it's important to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan, here are some Ayurvedic medications that are traditionally used in the management of uveitis, especially when it is linked to autoimmune conditions:
1. Mahatriphala Ghrita
Description: A herbal ghee preparation that is known for its use in eye disorders. It is prepared using Triphala (a combination of three fruits) and ghee.
Benefits: It helps to strengthen eye muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve vision.
Dosage: Typically taken internally, 1-2 teaspoons in the morning on an empty stomach or as directed by an Ayurvedic doctor.
2. Chandrodaya Varti (for external use)
Description: A traditional Ayurvedic eye kajal that is used to reduce inflammation, soothe the eyes, and clear vision.
Application: Applied in the lower eyelid, but it is better to consult a practitioner before use to avoid irritation.
3.Shigru Guggulu (Moringa)
Description: Shigru (Moringa) has anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties, which may help in autoimmune conditions like uveitis.
Benefits: It reduces inflammation in the eye and supports joint health (beneficial for arthritis if involved).
Dosage: 1-2 tablets twice daily after meals, or as directed by a physician.
4. Saptamrita Lauh
Description: A classical Ayurvedic formulation used for treating eye disorders, including conditions like uveitis.
Benefits: It enhances vision and reduces eye strain and inflammation.
Dosage: 1-2 tablets twice daily with honey or as prescribed.
5. Punarnava Mandoor
Description: A powerful diuretic and anti-inflammatory medicine used in Ayurveda for autoimmune conditions.
Benefits: Helps in reducing inflammation, detoxifying the blood, and improving immune function.
Dosage: Usually taken twice a day after meals.
6. Triphala Kashaya
Description: An herbal decoction made from Triphala that is used as an eyewash or consumed internally.
Benefits: Cleanses the eyes, reduces irritation, and strengthens the eye muscles.
Usage: It can be used as an eyewash or taken internally in small quantities.
Important Considerations:
Autoimmune Nature: Since your uveitis seems to be autoimmune-related, Ayurvedic treatment would focus on balancing the immune system through Rasayana (rejuvenation therapies), along with medications that pacify the aggravated doshas (imbalances in the body) associated with inflammation and autoimmune conditions.
Pitta Imbalance: Uveitis is often related to a Pitta imbalance (heat or inflammation), so medications and herbs that pacify Pitta are generally recommended.
Final Note:
It's essential to approach Ayurvedic treatment with a qualified Ayurvedic physician, as the medications mentioned should be customized according to your specific constitution (Prakriti), the type of uveitis (anterior, posterior, etc.), and your overall health condition. Self-medication can sometimes lead to complications, especially in chronic conditions like uveitis.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with uveitis and the associated pain. In Ayurveda, managing autoimmune conditions like uveitis focuses on balancing the doshas and supporting overall health. To help alleviate your symptoms, consider incorporating Turmeric (Curcuma longa) into your diet, known for its anti-inflammatory properties. You can take Turmeric powder mixed with warm milk or water daily. Another effective herb is Ginger (Zingiber officinale), which can help reduce inflammation and improve circulation; try consuming ginger tea regularly. For topical relief, Ghee or Khadira (Acacia catechu) can be applied around the eyes (ensure they are safe for topical use) to soothe irritation. Additionally, Ayurvedic formulations like Amrutadi Guggulu and Gandhaka Rasayana can help in managing inflammation and detoxification. Consider undergoing Shirodhara, an Ayurvedic treatment where warm oil is poured over the forehead, which may help in calming the nervous system and relieving stress. It is essential to maintain a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while avoiding processed foods, which can trigger inflammation. Regular yoga and meditation can also be beneficial in managing stress and improving your overall well-being.

Uveitis can be pretty challenging, especially if you've been dealing with it for this long. Sounds like you're in a bit of a cycle with it, huh? So, you’ve heard it’s autoimmune-related, much like arthritis, which means your body's kinda in an overdrive mode. Medications you’ve mentioned, like Omnicotril (a corticosteroid) and Mycophenolate mofetil, manage this but let's think with Ayurveda here, too.
In Ayurveda, uveitis might be seen as a result of Pitta imbalance, which can cause inflammation. You'd want to cool this fire down a bit. Try incorporating cooling foods like cucumber and cilantro into your diet. They can help soothe that fiery Pitta energy. Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, and excess oily stuff, as they might just fan the flames.
Man, hydration can't be stressed enough right now! Keep drinking lukewarm water throughout the day. You could also try triphala — it's a herbal concoction that can aid in detoxification and support eye health. Maybe a triphala eyewash (with the right water concentration) could offer some relief. Just make sure it's prepared hygienically, and be gentle with it.
Between us, spending less time with screens, if possible, and taking frequent breaks could really ease those eye muscles. And, you know, a little breather for your mind wouldn’t hurt. Short meditation or pranayama might calm the system down and, in turn, reduce stress levels contributing to this condition.
But, hey, do keep in touch with your specialist. Your symptoms are still something they should monitor regularly to prevent complications. If the pain is unbearable, don't wait on that. Get immediate help. Ayurveda's there for balance and support, but never replace essential medical care, okay?
