EYESIGHT CURE

Eyes are closely related to mind & liver. The eyes are PITTA, the fire element. There are 5 sub-pittas in the body, one of them is the fire responsible for healthy luster & tissues in the eyes: ALOCHAKA Pitta: Light, linked to good mental digestion. Again, the most effective therapy to cure eyesight in any deficiency or disease is Panchakarma.

Two types of problems affect the eyes. These are discussed below.

Accommodation deficiencies

The eye strains to see near or far ahead.

Astigmatism: outlines are dim whether near at hand or far off. Myopia: the eye cannot see far ahead, the person cannot jump into the unknown!

Hypermetropia: it is the opposite of myopia.

Presbyopia: the only case where the lens ages. You need an extended arm to read near at hand.

Diplopia: because of strain, you see double or more.

Amblyopia: eyes do not perceive movement any more. Dangerous, it leads to blindness.

Squint: the eyes look toward the nose or one eye looks to the left or right. The optic nerve is loose.

Dysfunctions

Glaucoma: intra-ocular hypertension. The eyes swell due to excess fluid in the eyes. Related to Kapha & to an over-worrying mind pried with care.

Cataract: the lens opacifies, thus preventing light from getting through to the macula, the one focal spot on the retina where light hits & becomes a picture. Retina detachment: part of the retina becomes blind. Vitreous detachment: particles of the aqueous jelly inside the eye get loose & obstruct the lens.

Floaters: due to high strain & stress, you see black floating specks moving to & fro with your eyes. Causative factors: the same that aggravate the doshas:

• over-stimulation of the senses (over-use of mass media, computers, mobile phones...), A/C, excess traveling, too much raw food, irregular eating & sleeping habits... for VATA. Dry up the eyes.
• over-exposure to heat & sun, too sour, salty or spicy food, alcohol, drug addictions, bright colours & loud sounds: aggravate Pitta in the eyes: infected/inflamed eyes.
• over-indulgence in laziness, luxury & comfort, sweet food & sentimentality, excess need for security in life: aggravate Kapha in the eyes: watery, pus-filled eyes...

REMEDIAL MEASURES

Martine can guide you through a special PK for eyesight: a highly personalised program including PK, netra bastis (specific eye baths with medicated ghee or oils or milk decoctions to remove undue heat & toxins from your eyes. It restores good micro-circulation in the eyes & re-focuses the optic nerve.

Special exercises & games to re-educate your eyes to correct movement in daylight & in candle light, meditation on a ghee lamp to strengthen the nerves & memory. So that whatever you do, your eyes keep relaxed, hydrated & lubricated.
