I Can See! A Testimonial to Herbs and Eyesight

When poor eyesight is caused by a lack of nutrients, herbs can restore eyesight safely and sometimes very quickly. My husband is a good testimonial for this wonderful herbal “side effect.” When I met him he wore glasses, he had chronic sinusitis that was long standing, and he was getting shots in his nose by his allergist, which didn’t seem to alleviate his suffering much. He suffered from stress because of his high-pressure job and other circumstances at the time. He also had mild digestive and intestinal distress and symptoms of fluctuating blood sugar.
The last thing I was concerned about for him was his eyesight. But I think it’s interesting to note how these other problems may tie in with vision.
Here’s the herbal program I put him on:
A combination for stress that included: chamomile flowers, passion flowers, hops flowers, fennel seeds, marshmallow root, and feverfew herb. A combination for his allergies that included: burdock root, ephedra, golden seal, capsicum, parsley, horehound, althea, and yerba santa. Bifidophilus to improve his digestion and absorption of nutrients. A fiber supplement for his bowel that included a mixture of psyllium, oat, and apple fibers.
A soothing combo for his digestive tract that contained: slippery elm bark, marshmallow
root, plantain herb, chamomile flowers, rose hips, and bugleweed herb.
Licorice root to help his body produce natural cortisone (he was getting cortisone shots in
his nose, and so he thought he’d try this natural alternative). Licorice root also balances
the blood sugar levels, which can have an effect on eyesight.
An enzyme designed to help him break down proteins. The enzyme also included hydrochloric acid.
And a combination to support his blood sugar levels and nourish the prostate that included:
golden seal, juniper berries, uva ursi leaves, cedar berries, mullein leaves, garlic bulb,
yarrow flowers, slippery elm bark, capsicum fruit, dandelion root, marshmallow root,
nettle herb, white oak bark, and licorice root. Within two weeks on this program, he was absolutely amazed to find that his sinuses cleared up almost entirely. Within two months he was completely Kleenex-free! His digestion improved dramatically, his stress level eased, and he became even more grateful he met me! However, after about four months using the herbs he began to get headaches. We finally came to the conclusion that his prescription glasses probably needed an update.
They sure did! A trip to see his eye doctor resulted in the recycling of his glasses because his vision had returned to 20/20! It’s nice to know that herbs can fill in nutritional voids and that your body will begin to restore the undernourished areas whether you “focus” on a particular ailment or not. That was over four years ago, my husband still takes his daily herbal supplements and continues to be sinusitis- and eyeglass-free!
