How to treat Drushti Vadhvane (vision problems) effectively? - #54547

Drishti Vardhan (vision enhancement) is based on balancing Alochaka Pitta, which governs eyesight. Weak vision is mainly due to Pitta aggravation, Vata dryness, and poor nourishment of eye tissues. Treatment focuses on Rasayana (rejuvenation) using herbs like Amla, Triphala, and Yashtimadhu, which nourish and protect the eyes. Therapies such as Netra Tarpana with medicated ghee help lubricate and strengthen the eyes, while Nasya improves nerve function related to vision. Diet rich in ghee, amla, milk, and almonds, along with eye-rest practices like Trataka, supports natural improvement of eyesight. —Internal Medicines: Triphala Churna – 5 g at bedtime with lukewarm water Amla Rasayana / Chyawanprash – 1 tsp twice daily with milk Saptamrit Lauh – 125 mg twice daily after food Mahatikt ghrit 1 tsf after meal twice daily 2.
