Actually Deb,

 

Many here can help...

 

Unfortunately you did not give any information on what the condition actually

is...

 

Nor did you give any information of what you've done, how you've done it, and

the type of persistence you've used.

 

So no one can answer your question in any type of intelligent manner.

 

But the good news is, here is some general info that might help.

 

Enjoy.

POTATO POULTICE FOR EYE CONDITIONS

 

Edgar Cayce often recommended potato poultices (packs) for eye problems

involving irritation or inflammation (such as blepharitis - swollen eyelids).

Here are some specific recommendations for using potato poultices:

 

* Use white ( " Irish " ) potatoes.

* Use " old, " (not freshly dug) potatoes that have not frozen or spouted.

One reading defined " old " as a potato that had been dug the previous year.

* If possible, use organic potatoes.

* Wash potatoes thoroughly.

* Grate or scrape the potato (peel and pulp).

* Apply the grated potato to a gauze.

* Close your eyes.

* Place the gauze and grated potato over the affected eye(s).

* Leave the poultice on for 30 to 60 minutes each session.

* Wash the eyes with a weak solution such as 20% boric acid. For severe

cases, the readings sometimes recommended washing the eyes before and after the

potato poultice.

 

The frequency of treatment varied with the severity of the condition.

Typically, the poultice was recommended to be used each morning and evening

until inflammation and irritation subsided. The readings sometimes suggested

cycles of treatment wherein the poultice is used for two or three days and then

rest for a couple of days before resuming the cycle.

 

CAYCE QUOTES ON USING POTATO POULTICES

 

Here are some excerpts from the Cayce readings which describe the use of

potato poultices. Note that some of these excerpts describe how the use of the

poultices would be integrated into a comprehensive treatment plan including

other therapeutic modalities such as spinal adjustments, eyewashes, ointments,

etc.

 

.... each and every other evening, have scraped Irish potato, old, not new, and

apply on gauze over the eyes. Keep this on for at least one hour, then cleanse

the eye with any good antiseptic solution, using cotton tuft for same.

(5301-1)

 

When the condition is produced that causes inflammation to be apparent in

the eye where cold or congestion sets in from the predisposition of forces in

the system, we would apply locally small quantities of scraped Irish potato to

the eye to draw out the inflammation. This will seldom have to be used for a

time, yet the adjustment of the condition along the cervical through osteopathic

treatment should be done, else we will create the predisposition with those

conditions existent in the system to cause the weakness of forces to the eye to

become a constitutional condition, rather than organic affliction. (4674-1)

 

For the condition, we would apply these two ingredients to the eye. Bathe

both eyes (externally) with twenty percent solution boric acid. Then apply, in

rather sufficient quantity to cover the socket or place of eye, the scraped

parts of commonly known irish potato. Let this be of the larger variety as

possible, and one that has not frozen or sprouted. When the inflammation has so

packed this solution, or application, as to render it of no service, (this is to

be applied direct, of course, to the eye of course with the eye closed) remove

this, and bathe with equal parts of ten percent solution of boric acid and ten

percent solution of myrrh tincture.

Then apply the Yellow Oxide Ointment to the affected parts, and in the edge

of the eye proper, near the tear ducts, you see, so this works in under the

lids.

After this has remained for some thirty to forty minutes, bathe again in the

twenty percent solution of boric acid, and apply again the potato, scraped, you

see.

Repeat these, with only a short interval between, until inflammation is

subsided and ease obtained for the physical forces.

Then other solutions will be applied. With the solution of acid, add one

part of belladonna, which is the strong solution, and this will be used as

drops, in the corner of the eye, and when bathed again apply the potato.

(Q) What should be done for the eyes?

(A) As indicated, these disturbances are from the incoordination between the

cerebrospinal and the sympathetic nerve system; and the corrections that are to

be made osteopathically will be for the betterment of the eyes.

If there is the continuing of inflammation, we would use of evenings the

scraped Irish potato (old potatoes, not new ones) on gauze applied to the

eyeballs themselves, or sockets, see? Let this remain on for a half to three

quarters of an hour. This will draw the inflammation. Use only OLD potatoes,

not new ones; and use such a poultice only if there is the inflammation or the

burning of the eyes. (2086-1)

 

At least twice a day, for an hour, apply to the eyes the scraped Irish

Potato, - not the new or this year's crop, but the old Irish potato. This would

be put right on the eyelid, (with the eye closed, of course), and then bound on

for about half an hour to an hour. Afterwards the eyes would be cleansed with a

weak cleansing solution for the eyes, that is antiseptic; this about the

proportions used for washing a baby's eyes, see? (1963-1)

 

Conditions, as we find, are very much improved in the general physical

forces of the body. While there are those conditions that still disturb the

body with the manner in which there is the inflammation in the eye, or in the

lids and the iris, these - as we find - are somewhat on the improve. We would

use the potato poultice, scraped old Irish potato - not new; put the scraped

potato in a gauze and place on the eye (with it closed); not the potato directly

to the eye in this particular case, but in a gauze, and sufficient quantity of

it to fill the whole socket space. Let this remain as the body rests, for an

hour to an hour and a half; then take off. It will be found that considerable

amount of inflammation will be drawn out. Do this for two to three days, or two

or three evenings; then rest by leaving it off for two or three days - if it

makes for too great an irritation, which at times it would, dependent upon the

newness or oldness of the potato, you see, that is used. When the poultice is

removed each time, cleanse the eye with a weak solution of boric acid. This

will make for a cleansing of the inflammation from these conditions. These

would be used occasionally; two to three days at a time, then a rest period,

gradually letting the periods of application get farther and farther apart, see?
