Why Eye really Important?

What is herbal medicine?

Vitamin C & Germanium

Major factors in glaucoma are increased intraocular pressure and diminished blood flow to the eye’s optic nerve and retina. According to the Regenerative Nutrition website, Jay Cohen, O.D., a professor at the State University of New York College of Optometry, argues that high doses of vitamin C can reduce the level of fluid in the eye and decrease the damaging buildup of pressure. He recommends a daily dose of 1,000 to 2,000 mg. The website also urges the use of organic germanium, which is found in a wide variety of medicinal herbs as well as foods, to increase the supply of oxygen to the vital structures of the eye, including the optic nerve.

Other Herbal Remedies

Robert Ritch, M.D., director of the Glaucoma Foundation in New York City, urges patients with glaucoma to supplement the medications prescribed by their ophthalmologists with gingko biloba, according to MotherNature.com. “Gingko appears to increase blood flow to the eye and prevent the death of cells in the optic nerve,” the doctor observes. Ritch suggests that you take 120 mg of gingko twice daily for two months and then cut back to 60 mg twice daily. Like Cohen, Ritch is a strong believer in the curative benefits of vitamin C, urging a daily dosage of 2,000 mg as well as 800 IU (international units) of vitamin E daily.

Not always. Few eye disorder that results in blindness innate. Diidap maternal diseases during pregnancy there are some that might interfere with the eye, such as toxoplasma. However, more blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency, glaucoma, and cataracts.

In Asia, the rate of blindness because of vitamin A deficiency is still a lot. If the night blindness as an early symptom of vitamin A deficiency are left without correction by giving high doses of vitamin A, eye damage will continue. White patches appear on the white marble eyes (bitot spot), which if still not corrected, too, will damage the eyes, a pain in the whites of the eyes, and finally going to deflate the eyeball, and then shrink. At this advanced stage, the eye was not possible to be saved again, and finally completely blind.
