[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I have been a member for awhile but haven't posted before. I

have been going to a TCM practitioner for a long time and this

works very well for the improvement and maintenance of my

health.

 

I am also interested in vision improvement and I have a home

page and newsgroup on the subject. I am frequently asked what

herbs are good for the eyes. I have searched the files and found

only a reference to herbal treatments for floaters. Is there

anything else in the archives about which Chinese herbs are

good for eyesight, both refractive and retinal disorders? My own

Chinese doctor says there is a berry that is good for the retina,

but he didn't know what it's name was in English...!

 

Thanks,

Francine

Wolfberry (matrimony vine) AKA Gou Qi Zi; Lycium Chinese Mill., Solanaceae

 

Lycium yields two distinct medicinal portions. The fruits, Gou Qi Zi, are

considered sweet and neutral and to nourish the blood. The root bark, di GU pi,

" earth bone bark, is sweet and cold and cools the blood. Both portions of the

plant have affinity for the liver, lung, and kidney channels.

 

I use the fruit (red berries) to nourish the eyes.

Hi Francine,

 

I read your message and am answering it because I to had the desire to improve

my eyesight and have done so.

 

I was very farsighted and heavy astigmatism in both eyes. I could not drive at

anytime without my contacts especially at night. I{ could not read regular print

such as in books or newspapers, but now I am able to do all those things fairly

well.

 

I ran across a Dr. Christopher who has done a tremendous amount of herbal

studies and using herbs for different diseases and he believes there is no

disease that cannot be conquered.

 

I read his herbal formula for better eyes and did it and wal-la my eyes have

improved beyond anything I believed imaginable. I drive at night or day without

my contacts, read regular print, and even very fine print which was impossible

before.

 

His formula deals with using Cayenne Pepper as an eye wash in a formula called

bright eyes. You can probably get it at your local health food store that is

where I got it from.

 

I don't know if you know about Cayenne Pepper and its properties for healing,

but it is considered the best of healing herbs of any of them. I did a study on

it and found some marvelous healings from it. I use it exclusively for any thing

I do dealing in helping people recover from there sicknesses.

 

If you are interested and wish to know more then write me here and I will give

you more information.

 

Sincerely

 

Ray

Hi Ray,

 

Thanks for the info. I actually already knew about this, as I also belong to

a newsgroup called " Getting Well. " I have the eyebright formula and some

variations on it, from The Dr Christopher or Dr Schulze website, I believe.

 

I am not the one with the eye problem. I wanted to find other herbal

treatments because there are many people who just don't want to put cayenne

in their eyes. I like cayenne, and use it all the time to clear my sinuses.

I also used to make up my own herbal formulas, a mixture of tinctures. I

haven't done this for a long time, as I think my TCM is so much better at

concocting formulas that work. But I remember that I always used to put a

couple of drops of cayenne in, as this made the formula work better.

 

Cheers,

Fran

You might also want to look into the Indian herbal formula called Triphala.

This formula is a well known panacea for many problems, among them eyesight.

It can be made into an eye wash. Here is an article by a well known herbalist

(Michael Tierra) which talks about Triphala and its many uses (including how

to use as an eye wash) at length:

Interesting article. No surprises though. I've been eating habañero pepper

on a daily basis for a great many years. I guess I'm an endorphin junkie :-)

thanks for all those info. Quite interesting. but what about the yin. because I

guess it is not so safe for the yin, too much cayenne or anything very hot. Do

you precognise something to prevent yin lack (maybe drink )) )
