No—saliva does not improve eyesight or cure eye problems, and putting saliva in your eyes is not safe. —Diagnosis: Vata-Pitta imbalance (Shushka Netra) —Internal: 1) Triphala tab – 1 tab at night with warm water 2) Saptamrit Lauh – 1 tab twice daily after meals 3) Mahatriphala Ghrit – 1 tsp with warm milk —External: Cold water eye wash 2–3× daily Palming + blinking exercises —Diet & Lifestyle: More green vegetables, amla, almonds, ghee Reduce screen time (20-20-20 rule) Avoid dry, spicy foods & direct fan/AC — Avoid saliva or any unclean substance in eyes
In Ayurveda, age-related vision weakness and dry eyes are commonly linked with increased Vata dosha and reduced eye nourishment. At 67, eyesight can often be supported and stabilized naturally, but it is important to have realistic expectations. About saliva therapy: There is no strong scientific evidence that applying saliva to the eyes improves eyesight. In fact, it may increase the risk of eye infection or irritation, especially in older adults. Simple Ayurvedic Home Remedies for Eye Support Take 1 tsp Amla powder or fresh amla daily — rich in natural antioxidants for eye nourishment. Drink warm cow’s milk with 1–2 tsp ghee at night if digestion allows. Splash cool water on closed eyes in the morning. Use rose water eye pads externally for dryness and fatigue (only pure sterile rose water). Include more green vegetables, carrots, soaked almonds, black raisins, and seasonal fruits in your diet. Reduce continuous screen exposure; follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds). Ensure proper sleep and hydration. Helpful Ayurvedic Practices Gentle Trataka (candle gazing) and palming exercises may help eye relaxation. Rx 1. Triphala ghrit - 1 tsp twice a day after meal 2. Tab saptamrit loh - 2 tab twice a day after meal 3. Fine eye eye drops
