Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 What to do? I red on a book that in India there is an herbalist doctor that cure this problem in two or three days with packs of oppium and honey. Is it possible to avoid the operation. Doctor told me that now it is made with ultrasound, not invasive. I would your opinion. Mahima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Instead of 2-3 days, if you are prepared to be patient and religiously try a medicine called " Chandrakala Netranjan " , your surgery could be avoided. Search past postings using drug name as key word. _________________ I red on a book that in India there is an herbalist doctor that cure this problem in two or three days with packs of oppium and honey.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Dear Mahima, The information about treating cataract with opium and honey is really interesting. However, if the opium you mention is the narcotic / addictive drug, then I am afraid it is a banned herb, and not available for free use at all. No doctor is allowed to use it officially, expect with special permission and quota allocation from governmental authorities. Hence this treatment cannot materialise. Even according to Ayurveda, cataract ( Ling-nash as called in Ayurvedic terms ), is a disorder to be treated surgically.There is no established or proven herbal therapy in Ayurveda which can avoid cataract surgery.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 please correct me if i am wrong, but doesn't lingnash refers to visual defects generally whereas cataract specifically is called kacha or nilika? for general defects (lingnash) as well as cataract several formulae are mentioned in chakradatta (netrayoga) including sukhavata varti, chadrayoga varti, vyosadi varti, nayanashukha varti, chandraprabha varti, gandupada kajjala and bilwanjana however, in progressed conditions surgery is the only option i wonder today how many ayurvedic physicians practice eye surgery as per Sushruta? it seems to me that some traditional vaidyas in places like Nepal are still doing these treatments... generally, if not congenital or caused by trauma, cataracts are caused by aging and more specifically the same factors that promote obesity, diabetes and heart disease (i.e. metabolic syndrome X) in other words, apart from oxidative damage from UV light and local antioxidant deficiencies (e.g. vitamin A), the underlying issue in large part relates to the glycosylation of lens proteins from chronically elevated blood sugars thus, proper glycemic control while increasing the consumption of antioxidant nutrients including vitamin A, C and E as well as lutein and zeaxanthin are indicated herb-wise, amalaki, bhumyamalaki and triphala are good for maintenance therapy as well subhuti dharmananda presents a review of cataract treatment in Chinese medicine with topical formulations: http://www.itmonline.org/arts/cataracts.htm Caldecott, Dip.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Dear Mahima, I do agree with Dr.Muzumdar , I think if Cataract is a matured cataract , then one need to go for surgical removal rather than trying out other herbal therapy options !

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Dear There have been many Ayurvedic post-graduate theses written on Ling-nash which is equated to cataract, according to the BAMS course taught uniformly all over India. Still no medicine has been able to reverse the cataract and remove the opacities from the lens. There are plenty of medicinal formulations but they have not yielded the results. Have you used them to arrest or revert the cataract progress? Medical practice in any country is subject to it's rules.Those who are registered with the governmental authorities have to abide by it's rules and regulation. Hence eye surgery as practised by Sushruta is a matter of legislative permission.Traditional vaidyas as well as unregistered practitioners are not in the perspective of government authorities and are not bound by medico-legal aspects. Hence they are are free to act accordingly,till any complication occurs and/or the person taking treatment from them complains to the police, whereafter criminal action is taken against the person involved. Govt. registered doctors cannot act irresponsibly. Hence the rhetoric against Ayurvedic physicians is not worth a dime. Discussions is ok, but why a judgemental attitude?
