People who come to India can carry it personally with them, properly packing it in baggage. It is not even sold in chemist shops. Only some vaidyas distribute it directly to patients, there being no profit motive. Couriers do not accept the medicine, since it is liquid in glass bottles.

It might help if I explain that glaucoma is no longer viewed simply as

an eye disease defined by increased intraocular pressure.

 

Glaucoma is now viewed as a neuropathy involving both the optic nerve

and the brain (the part of the thalamus known as the lateral

geniculate nucleus).

 

Therefore, the best ayurvedic treatments for glaucoma would involve

things that are very nourishing for the brain and nerves, such as ghee.

 

What other things can the group recommend for the optic nerve?

 

I know glaucoma is usually thought of as either a kapha disease (fluid

in the eye slow to drain out) or a pitta disease (eyes in general).

However, with the new understanding of glaucoma as a neuropathy, maybe

we should consider glaucoma to be a vata-pitta disease.

 

I believe it is vata because of the "pressure" in the optic nerve and

the loss of nerve fiber. I believe glaucoma is partly pitta because of

the connection between adrenal hormones (cortisol and epinephrine) and

intraocular pressure.

 

What do you think?

 

Warm regards,

David
