Hello I understand that you are worried about your retinal vein occlusion but let me assure you that we will take good care of you here😊
Important Note: Once the structural damage has been done due to RVO, no system can reverse it completely. However, Ayurveda can help in stabilizing the vision, improving blood circulation, reducing the inflammation, and it can also be helpful in preventing further episodes.
✅ AYURVEDIC VIEW
RVO is close to: Raktavaha Srotodusti = blocked blood flow Vata modification = obstruction of micro-channels Pitta inflammation= retinal swelling Ama accumulation = slow circulation
So, the therapy entails: 👉 Rasayana (rejuvenation) 👉 Rakta-shuddhi (blood purification) 👉 Vata–Pitta balancing 👉 Timira / Dristi deepana (vision-enhancing remedies)
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
You are already using Jevantyadi Ghrita which is very good for nerve & retina nourishment.
1. Saptamrita Lauh 1 tablet twice daily after food (helps small vessels to open in retina, reduces blurred vision.)
2. Punarnavadi Mandoor 1 tablet twice daily (reduces retinal edema, and blood flow is facilitated.)
3. Triphala Guggulu 1 tablet twice daily (helps relieve inflammation & promotes blood circulation.)
✅ Netra-Rasayana (Eye Rejuvenation)
These work especially well in long-standing RVO cases. Maha Triphala Ghrita ¼ tsp morning empty stomach (deep retina nourishment.) (Only if digestion is good, continue.)
✅EXTERNAL THERAPIES (Most Effective)
They should be performed by a skilled Ayurveda practitioner.
👉 Netra Tarpana (ghee pooling therapy) Rejuvenates retinal cells Improves circulation Reduces strain
👉Shirodhara If RVO is accompanied by stress/vascular tension, then it is good Helps autonomic balance and ocular circulation
👉Nasya (Anu taila / Shadbindu Taila) Increases nerve conduction Relieves eye strain
✅ DIET AND LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
You already maintain a healthy diet, so continue with these rules:
✅Beneficial foods Amla / Triphala Carrot, beetroot, spinach (rich in lutein) Black raisins Cow ghee (in a small amount) Almonds (soaked) Turmeric + pepper milk Warm water An anti-inflammatory diet (avoid sour, spicy, and/or heavy foods)
❌What to avoid
Smoking / alcohol Constipation (retinal pressure will get worse) Sunlight glare Long screen time without breaks High-salt food (swelling becomes worse)
Every 3–6 months –Fundus exam – OCT (to check for macular edema) – Blood pressure –cholesterol –blood sugar
Ayurveda cannot reverse blocked veins but can strengthen surrounding blood vessels and prevent future damage
Wishing you a good health😊

Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform related to your eye issues
Retinal vein occlusion is usually a result of long standing vata pitta imbalance affecting the eyes, micro circulation, and when it continues for years, the underlining issue is reduced circulation dryness, and strain on the optic tissue … It’s good that the condition is stable now and jeevantyadi Gritha is appropriate because it nourishes the retina and improve circulation, but for a chronic five year condition you also need internal support to keep the clotting tendency under control and prevent further vision fluctuations
Continue the gritha as advised, and along with that, you can start on Saptamritha Lauh to be taken after food twice daily Punarnavadi kashayam -15, ML with equal amount of water twice daily after food Mahatriphaladi gritha- half tsp with warm water at morning if you feel dryness or strain Eye wash with soaked and drained triphala kashaya ( it should be sterile) Anu taila -one drop to each nostrils once daily
Along with medicines, keep your blood pressure, sugar levels and cholesterol. Very stable. Avoid heat producing food limit, screen strain, undo cold water eye splashing Avoid exc screen time Practice pranayama meditation

Hi this is Dr soukhya as considering your problem… See eye are too sensitive part of your body which is more important then any thing else…so plz do not try anything blindly with proper method… Do consult your ayurvedic physician specialist in ENT and EYE in ayurveda… Then you go with proper procedures…
For Retinal Vein Occlusion, Ayurveda approaches the condition by balancing the doshas, enhancing blood circulation, and rejuvenating the tissues. It’s positive you are using Jevantyadi Ghrita, known for its benefits in supporting eye health. Continuing with Jevantyadi Ghrita as advised can be beneficial, but let me share a broader perspective on Ayurvedic management.
1. Dietary Suggestions: Focus on a diet that balances the doshas, mainly Pitta, which is prone to aggravate eye conditions. Incorporate foods that are cooling and anti-inflammatory, like cucumber, cilantro, and aloe vera. Avoid overly spicy, acidic, and oily foods which can worsen Pitta and vitiate the blood.
2. Herbal Support: Triphala is well-known for supporting eye health and detoxifying the body. Taking Triphala churna or tablets with warm water before bed can enhance detoxification and improve circulation within the eye.
3. Lifestyle Modifications: Practice exercises specific for eye health, such as Trataka, which involves focusing on a candle flame, enhancing concentration and inner vision. This should be done daily for 5-10 minutes initially.
4. Therapeutic Procedures: Consider undergoing Netradhara, where medicated herbal decoction is poured in a gentle stream over the eyes, helping in cleansing and rejuvenating.
5. Regular Monitoring: Even though you mentioned improvement, regular check-ups with an ophthalmologist are essential to monitor the condition and ensure no progression. Retinal vein occlusion can potentially lead to complications requiring immediate attention, so blending allopathic care with Ayurveda is wise.
6. Pranayama & Meditation: These practices help in reducing stress which plays a role in many chronic conditions and are vital for maintaining an overall balance in body and mind.
Remember, it’s crucial to consult with a practitioner who can evaluate your individual condition and customize these recommendations to your needs. While Ayurveda offers supportive care, immediate changes or severe symptoms should always be discussed with your healthcare provider.
