Eyes Diseases are prevalent in most of the world but they are more found in the tropical countries and mostly at the time of monsoon when the moisture in the air is more and there is free communication of virus and bacteria from one human to another. Also, the changing weather makes the human beings little less strong in immunity which again leads to viruses and bacteria increased attacks. Ayurveda divides the Eye diseases in different types on the basis of their symptoms. Let us see some of the diseases and medicines for them.
.
Conjuctivitis (Netrabhisyanda):
This is an eye disease characterized by the inflammation and rednesss
of the conjuctiva accompanied by various types of pain and watery
discharge from the eye. Its other symptoms include feeling of stiffness,
burning sensation, heavyness ir itching in eys and headache. In some
cases pus may also form.

Incidentally, in a birthday party at a friend's house yesterday, I got this question from an aged neighbour of my friend, that what exactly is cataract? Is it really a film that grows on our eyes causing to see double or blurred images? They were curious to know if there is some ayurvedic treatment available for this disease or they will have to go through the eye surgery to get rid of this problem. I explained them about this in detail and let me also write about it here for the benefits of the readers. To start with, let us first see the difference of vision in eyes for "Without Cataract" and "With Cataract" below:
........................ 
.
A cataract is a clouding of the natural lens,
the part of the eye responsible for focusing light and producing clear,
sharp images. The lens is contained in a sealed bag or capsule. As old
cells die they become trapped within the capsule. Over time, the cells
accumulate causing the lens to cloud, making images look blurred or
fuzzy. For most people, cataracts are a natural result of aging. In
fact, they are the leading cause of visual loss among adults 55 and
older. Eye injuries, certain medications, and diseases such as diabetes
and alcoholism have also been known to cause cataracts.
.
Partial
or complee opacity of the eye lens is also known as Timira in Ayurveda.
In its initial stage vision of the patient is impaired and he sees
imaginary things like cobweb. With the prgress of the disease,
impairment of vision also increases. In the end, complete loss of vision
may occur.
.
There are some very good known ayurvedic treatments available to cure Cataract. Some of them are:
- Take Triphala Churna - 6 to 12 gram with 12 to 24 gram Ghee thrice a day
- Take Ghrta Sidhha with Rhizome of Haridra (turmeric) and root of Usira (Khas) - 12 to 24 gram, twice a day
- Equal part of powder of Triphala, root of Yastimadhu (glycyrrhiza) - 3 to 6 gram, when taken with honey or ghee thrice a day, will surely improve the symptoms
- Apply Anjana of Rasanjana, Kasisa (green vitriol) and Guda (Jaggery) in the eye
- Apply Anjana of powder of equla part of fruit of Pippali (Long Pepper) and Saindhava (Rock Salt) prepared in honey in the eye
- Retain a Kavala (Mouth Wash) of cold water in the mouth as long you can hold - do it thrice a day - it improves the pressure in the eyes
- Take 1 litre of fruit juice af Amalaki (embelic myrobalan), concentrate it and add ghee - 50 gram and honey - 50 gram. Apply it in the eye using a cloth
- Practice Bhramri Yogasan for at least 15 minutes everyday for 90 days and you will see excellent results for sure
These
are all independent treatments and need not take/perform all to be
cured. sleect one or two you think you can do comfortably. My
recommendation is to start practicing Bhramari for sure as it has shown
miraculous results in this disease.
