RE: CAUSE/TREATMENT FOR FLOATERS/FLASHES IN EYES

[Guest guest]

I am a strong believer in and Acupuncture and avoid

allopathic medicine when possible.

Rather than take pharmaceuticals and/or surgery for this condition, what is

the protocol in Chinese philosophy?

I am a Personal Health Counselor and Massage Therapist and would like to have

the information for myself and my eyes.

Thanks

Problems in the eyes or with vision often indicate problems with the Liver.

The Liver opens into the eyes.

 

I've run across one acupoint which is specific for floaters in the eyes.

( " Floaters " are tiny dark spots in the field of vision.) The point is

Gallbladder-37. It " brightens the eyes, Expels Wind, Clears Heat, Conducts

Fire downward. " (Maciocia, Foundations, p. 450) Maciocia also says " The

most important function of this point is that of benefiting the eyes,

improving eyesight and eliminating " floaters " in the eyes. "

 

There may be other acupoints for floaters, but this is the only one I'm

aware of. In addition, you may want to do a TCM accessment to rule in or

rule out Liver imbalance and select herbs according to results of the

accessment.
