Eye Kannadi - #7411

Hey there, definitely, diving into the Ayurveda way for reducing dependence on eye kannadi is an interesting approach! While Ayurvedic treatments might not completely eliminate a need for glasses, they can potentially support overall eye health. For starters, let’s chat about netra tarpan—it’s a therapy where warm medicated ghee is retained on the eyes. Some folks find it soothing and it may help nourish eyes and improve lubrication. You’d usually get this done by a trained practitioner, as it’s a bit tricky to do by oneself and not something you want to mess up at home.

As for triphala churna, definitely a well-known remedy in Ayurveda, full of antioxidants. Mixing a bit with water to use as an eye wash is said to help cleanse and soothe tired eyes, and taking it internally can have benefits for digestion and overall detoxification too, which is indirectly beneficial for the eyes. Myopia and astigmatism are deeper issues, but perhaps adding such remedies might support eye health over time.

Diet-wise, Ayurveda promotes foods rich in vitamins A and C for eye health. Leafy greens, carrots, and berries are not just stuff your mom told you to eat. They play a role in maintaining the health of your eyes. So load up on these! Omega-3 fatty acids, found in flaxseeds and walnuts, can also be good for visual function.

Lifestyle tweaks might sound basic but they do make a difference. Reducing screen time is a huge one cause staring at screens continuously can exacerbate eye strain. Taking breaks, following the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 secs), and ensuring proper lighting when you’re working or reading helps. Also establishing a daily routine where you consciously relax your eyes can foster a healthier relationship with them.

People’s experiences vary though and while some report seeing changes within months, others feel it takes longer. The treatments aren’t too hard, but they do require consistency and a bit of patience. Start slow, maybe with triphala and make tweaks in your diet and lifestyle — see what works for you first. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner who can guide you, taking into account your specific dosha and lifestyle. Best of luck on your journey to healthier eyes!
