Eye Bright

Internally, Eye Bright is the single best herb for the eyes. It relieves discomfort from eyestrain or minor eye irritation, itchy and watery eyes, conjunctivitis, styes, and has a cooling and detoxifying property that makes it especially useful in combating inflammation. In fact, they named the herb Eye Bright because it’s SO good for your eyes!

BENEFITS FOR THE EYES:
• The vitamins B, C, E, beta carotene, plus the copper and selenium found in Eye Bright have been shown to improve clarity of eyesight (by one or more lines on the eye chart) over a 6 month period.
• Vitamins B, E, and selenium were also shown to reduce cataracts over 5 months.
• In macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy the disease was slowed by 70% by using the Vitamins A, C, E and selenium - all of which are found in Eye Bright.
• The antioxidant vitamins A, C, E, and beta carotene all lower the risk of cataract formation and are all found in Eyebright. Even a slight deficiency of vitamin A can cause tired eyes, sensitivity to light, dry eyelids, and susceptibility to infection.
• Vitamin A is also crucial to the formation of “visual purple” for darkness adaptation. In this way, Eye Bright helps with night time vision as well. A severe deficiency in vitamin A can even cause ulceration and distortion of the cornea and result in blindness.
• When the body is deficient in the vitamin B-Complex vitamins, eye muscles may become paralyzed, light sensitivity may develop as well as itching, burning, and bloodshot or watery eyes.
• Nearsightedness can actually result from stress and the B vitamins found in Eye Bright can help protect the nerves from damage that is due to stress.
• In addition to helping reduce stress, and thereby reducing the chances of nearsightedness due to stress, vitamin B-1 (thiamin) is important for intracellular eye metabolism and vitamin B-2 (riboflavin) deficiency has been linked to cataracts. Both of these B vitamins are found in Eye Bright and contribute to its remarkable effects on the eyes.
• Zinc, copper, and selenium help protect against cataracts because they act as antioxidants. Zinc also helps stop macular degeneration because it is vital for normal lens function, night vision, and maintaining the retina of the eye since there is a higher concentration of zinc in the retina then in any other organ. All of these minerals are found in Eye Bright.
• Eye Bright aids in stimulating the liver to clear the blood and relieve those conditions that affect the clarity of vision.
• The aucubin found in Eye Bright has an anti-inflammatory action which may accounts for its well known reputation for soothing tired and inflamed eyes as well as improving weak eyesight.

Extremely high in nutrients, Eye Bright contains the vitamins A, B-Complex, C, and D; and the minerals iron; silicon, selenium, iodine, copper, and zinc. Other components of Eye Bright include tannins, iridoid  glycosides, the flavonoids rutin and quercetin, essential fatty acids, glycoside aucuboside, caffeic and ferulic acids, sterols, and choline.

Although Eye Bright is best known for its use in conditions of the eye, it is also very helpful for respiratory conditions including bronchitis, allergies, colds, and sinusitis. Eyebright contains astringent compounds known as tannins that may help to tighten the top layers of mucous membranes reducing mucus secretion, which in  turn relieves irritation and improves tissue firmness. Consequently, many believe that Eyebright can help relieve the numerous symptoms associated with allergies.

CONGESTION - INFLAMMATION - SINUSES:
• The tannins act as astringents to help dry up secretions and relieve inflammation of the mucous membranes. This is helpful when treating conjunctivitis, sinusitis, and hay fever. The tannins and quercetin, a flavonoid found in Eye Bright are thought to reduce allergic responsiveness by inhibiting the release of histamines.
• The aucubin found in Eyebright has an anti-inflammatory action which is useful when there is a cough,  hoarseness, or sore throat.

Eucalyptus oil is antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and decongestant in nature, which makes it a valuable ingredient for treating respiratory problems.
• Garlic Extract - A very powerful herb, garlic displays antibiotic, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties and
is reportedly effective against many flu viruses and herpes simplex (the virus responsible for cold sores). Garlic reduces congestion helps expel mucus.

• Vitamin A - This vitamin maintains healthy mucus membranes of the respiratory tract and lungs.
• Vitamin D - Research shows that an increased intake, or higher levels of vitamin D are associated with healthier lungs.

• An analysis of 19 studies of asthma drugs like Advair and Serevent demonstrate that users run a substantially increased risk of hospitalization and death. Research shows that Advair alone may be responsible for 4,000 to 5,000 asthma deaths a year!
• Chronic bronchitis is a major cause of disability and death in the United States. The American Lung Association estimates that about 14 million Americans suffer from the disease.
