Natural remedies for eye problems

December 18, 2008

Let’s face it; all of us have ‘suffered’ from minor eye problems and what better way to cure them than with the help of natural remedies. The Ayurvedic studies show us that the eye problems are caused by a large number of different upsetting of one of the three doshas. According to it, the sudden aggravation of the Kapha dosha aggravates dullness of eyes, while the increase of the Vata dosha leads to dryness of the eyes. Then there is the pitta dosha that is aggravated due to pollution or stress and results in bloodshot eyes. Other causes of sore eyes include insufficient sleep and others.

A few drops of any one of these will help moisten the eyes make them go back to the normal state. Half teaspoon fennel seeds in a cup of water applied after the substance cools down also make for excellent eye drops.
