Ayurvedic Treatment For Myopia - #8119
For the past few years, I’ve been dealing with myopia (nearsightedness), which has been progressively worsening despite regular eye care. While corrective lenses help manage the condition, I’m interested in exploring holistic and natural approaches to improve my vision. I’d like to understand more about Ayurvedic treatment for myopia and whether it can help in reversing or slowing down the progression of this condition. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda views myopia as a result of imbalances in the pitta and vata doshas affecting eye health. Does Ayurvedic treatment focus on nourishing the optic nerves and tissues while addressing lifestyle factors that contribute to strain and degeneration? Are there specific herbs or formulations, such as Triphala, Saptamrit Lauh, or Jeevantyadi Ghrita, that are recommended for strengthening the eyes and improving vision? I’m also curious about external therapies. Does Ayurveda suggest treatments like Tarpana (medicated ghee retention around the eyes) or Netradhara (herbal decoction pour) for managing myopia? How effective are these therapies, and how frequently should they be performed for noticeable results? Another question is about dietary and lifestyle changes. Does Ayurveda recommend specific foods, such as leafy greens, carrots, or amla, that support eye health? Are there yoga practices or eye exercises, like Trataka or palming, that can help relax the eyes and enhance their ability to focus? Lastly, if anyone has managed myopia using Ayurvedic treatments, I’d love to hear about your experience. Did these therapies or lifestyle changes help improve your vision or reduce dependency on corrective lenses? How long did it take to notice improvements, and were there any challenges in maintaining the regimen? Any detailed advice on Ayurvedic treatment for myopia would be greatly appreciated.
