Hi, Ayurvedic treatment works in floaters and flashes. But before treatment, the cause for it needs to be found out. Please consult your Ayurveda doctor.
Please contact Mr Nitish – [email protected]
He will help.
Could this work for a pterygium I had a survey but pterigyum is back on my eye.
Better to consult an Ayurveda doctor in person.
How long should I use this Product for a corneal ulcer? I noticed extreme improvement within 2 days. Do I use it once a day?
It can be used for a period for 2 weeks, once a day.
Doctor, is there article published on Netramritam by you….i couldn’t find out can please provide the link
Not yet. Will do.
No. It is not something to be used on daily basis for preventive care.
This could help, but you will need to consult a doctor directly for complete check-up and advice.
Hi Doctor, can you write on Eye Disease…”Uveitis”…from an Ayurvedic Perspective.What are the treatments available for this medical condition?
Better to consult a doctor directly.
You can use elaneer.
can we use elaneer kuzhamp for children more than 5 year,for any type of eye irritation?
you can use it after consulting Ayurvedic doctor. because in some it has increased irritation.
it may not get cured, it might need extraction of pus in it.
Doctor,
Please do write about “Uveitis” Eye Disease from an Ayurvedic perspective.
And can you elaborate more on Alochaka Pitta…Chakshu Vaisheshika…and all other Marma points related to eye and its relationship to this eye disease (THIS you have mentioned in Hypertension Article – http://easyayurveda.com/2015/10/21/hypertension-ayurveda/ )
Because this disease belongs to a reoccuring category unless the root is not addressed and its seems to be very tricky to find out the root cause.
Worst situation when all the tests results are negative and we stand still without getting any solution.
Everytime this is going to reoocur it is causing some damage in the eye.
Can you please write the various methods or line of treatment for this disease in Ayurveda.

Twitching can happens in any part of body expect hairs, nails. Continuous twitching of any part of body indicate you have some imbalance of energy. This is not a eye problem . Simple remedy is do yoga and breath exercise daily 1 hour at least. Your twitching problem will stop in a month or two.
elaneer kuzhambu gives burning sensation. Use ITONE eye drops 3 to 4 times a day. It is cool and controls dryness.
Better to consult an Ayurveda doctor directly.
No. But you can undergo Tarpana treatment in any Ayurveda center, nearby.
No.
