Sreedhareeyam Sasanka Thailam is indeed an Ayurvedic formulation that’s commonly used to address eye-related issues like dryness and irritation. It’s particularly beneficial for conditions aggravated by long screen times, as it is known for its cooling and nourishing properties. However, it’s important to use it correctly to ensure effectiveness and safety.
Sreedhareeyam Sasanka Thailam is typically applied externally around the eyes rather than directly into them. Start by washing your hands thoroughly, then apply the thailam gently to the eyelids and the surrounding area — make sure to avoid getting it into the eyes themselves. Gently massage the oil into the skin, using light, circular motions. Do this preferably at night before going to bed, so the oil can work its magic overnight.
Regarding frequency, you can apply it daily for best results, but always start with a small amount to see how your skin responds to it. Effects might vary, but generally, you may begin to notice some relief within a few weeks. Consistent application is key, so give it some time.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it may be due to other underlying issues that require a deeper look. In such cases, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner would be advisable to tailor a treatment considering your unique dosha balance, lifestyle and diet.
In addition, try reducing screen time and ensuring you take regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds). This can further alleviate strain and dryness. Remember to blink often as well, as this naturally lubricates the eyes. Stay hydrated and include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are also beneficial for eye health.
If any allergic reactions or irritation occur, discontinue use immediately. While Sreedhareeyam Sasanka Thailam is generally safe, personal experience may differ based on individual constitutions.
