Eyebright, this nutrient-rich herb has been used for centuries to ease eyestrain, conjunctivitis, sore and itchy, watery eyes, and is also thought to relieve allergies and hay fever.  Eyebright is an antioxidant that helps to fight free-radical damage and promote overall eye health.

 

Country of Origin: Bulgaria

Beneficial Uses:
Eyebright, as its name suggests, is the most widely recommended herb for eyestrain, eye inflammations, conjunctivitis (pink eye), stinging and weeping eyes, and over-sensitivity to light.  Taken internally, Eyebright is thought to maintain good vision and promote general eye health.

The tannin content in Eyebright accounts for its astringent properties.  It tightens membranes surrounding the eyes and helps to prevent secretion of fluids, reducing excess phlegm and mucus in the eyes, sinuses and upper respiratory tract, which may also be helpful in cases of post nasal drip.  Additionally, it soothes mucous membranes, easing catarrh and relieving the discomforts of minor irritations.

Eyebright is said to be effective in treating allergies, itchy and/or watery eyes and runny nose and is also thought to combat hay fever.  The herb is a bitter, astringent herb that is used to relieve inflammation and infectious conditions associated with colds, coughs and sore throats.

Used externally, Eyebright is a fine eyewash, and its antiseptic qualities have been known to relieve not only inflammations and eye infections (sties), but also weeping eczema and herpes.

Contraindications:
Currently, there are no warnings or contraindications with the use of Eyebright Herbal Supplement.  However, overuse or large amounts (more than the recommended dosage) may produce swelling of the eyelids, changes in vision, tears, sneezing, sweating, difficulty in seeing in bright light or stomach upset.
