Guest guest Report post Posted April 16, 2003 sat nam, I am battling a terrible chronic eye disease called Blepharitis. The medical community has turned a blind eye to this disease and states that there is no cure for it. Blepharitis as per allopathy occurs due to excess oil secreted by oil glands in the eye lids and hence causes crusty secretion, red inflammed eye lids, itchy eyes, and loss of eye lashes. i have read every article published on this to find a cure. but there is nothing positive. I took up Acupressure and Shiatzu to find a cure. Shiatzu manuals say that eye lid inflammation is due to heat in gall bladder. I have tried to activate my gall bladder meridian channel to find a solution. still waiting to see results. Now do you any facial exercise that can ensure lymphatic drainage system to reactivate and flush out the excess oil? do let me know. In Love and Light pradeep The New Search - Faster. Easier.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 17, 2003 I have been suggesting the facial exercises (which I had mailed a few months ago) for different problems this past week. You might want to try them too. Look up the archives, and let me know how it feels after trying them. gai Platinum - Watch CBS' NCAA March Madness, live on your desktop! http://platinum.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 17, 2003 Please see either an Ayurveda physician or a Chinese herbalist/acupuncturist. I am no professional but eye stuff is generally indicative of an energetic imbalance in the liver/gall bladder system. Also, acquaint yourself with the principle of the Five Elements and how you can be your own best doctor through diet and a "cooling" yoga practice. Begin with Sitali breath (do a search of the archives) or do the following. Start with 5 to 7 mins for a week then slowly build up your time, adding one minute every three days. Saro Nari Sohi Pranayam with the Siri Gaitri Mantra Sit in easy pose or in lotus pose. Keep the spine straight and the body balanced. Concentrate at the root of the nose where the eyebrows meet on the forehead. Close the eyelids to 1/ 10th open. Place the hands in prayer pose at the center of the chest or in gyan mudra: the tip of the index finger touches the tip of the thumb. The hands rest over the knees with the elbows straight. Curl the tongue and extrude the tongue about 1/2 inch past the lips. Inhale through the "U" of the tongue in eight equal stokes. Place the mantra on the strokes. One mantra per eight strokes of the inhale. Then exhale in eight equal strokes through the nose. Make the breath precise and forceful. Mentally place the mantra on the breath as you exhale, one mantra for the eight strokes. The Siri Gaitri Mantra is: RA MA DA SA, SA SAY SO HUNG Use a melody as in Kirtan Kriya or use a monotone when mentally reciting the mantra. Continue the meditation for 11 to 31 minutes. Then inhale deeply, hold briefly and relax. COMMENTS: This meditation must be built slowly. Start with 3 to 11 minutes. The pranayam is very powerful. It can adjust all the meridians and healing channels in the body. Treat it with respect and keep a glass of water handy. It will give you fantastic digestion. It will supply you with energy when you are sure there is none. It is a healing meditation that can empower your entire immune system. It is the type of mediation that you must approach with patience and regularity to mine its hidden secrets. It is worth the effort. vivid reality wrote: > sat nam, > > I am battling a terrible chronic eye disease called > Blepharitis.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 5, 2003 Sat Nam Pradeep, I see someone very promptly supplied the exercises you asked for, but wanted to pass on a tip an opthalmologist told me and my husband (whe has a mild case of blepharitis). His instructions were: when showering, rub one drop of baby shampoo between your fingers, and gently wash your closed eyelashes, first a few strokes in one direction, then a few strokes in the other - side to side, not up and down, so you don't get the lashes in your eye. This sounds scary but doesn't hurt, and it does dissolve the excess oil that makes a cozy home for unwanted bacteria, etc.. My husband has found it quite helpful. I hope the exercises worked and you don't need this, but, as others have said, it often helps to have a multi-method approach. <s> Best wishes, Sat Darshan :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
