Dry Eye

Dry Eye: Ayurvedic Approach to Relief and Treatment

Dry Eye is a common issue resulting from insufficient moisture and lubrication on the eye’s surface. This condition often involves a decrease in tear production, affecting the three main layers of tears: mucous, lipid, and watery. Any imbalance in these layers may lead to dry eyes.

Symptoms of Dry Eye

  • Burning sensation and persistent dryness
  • Itching and irritation
  • Pain, continuous redness, and blurred vision
  • Sensitivity to light

Causes of Dry Eye

  • Aging, especially post-menopause
  • Smoking and excessive alcohol intake
  • Pollution and exposure to dusty or hot environments
  • Reduced tear flow and side effects of medications

Ayurvedic Treatment for Dry Eye

In Ayurveda, Dry Eye Syndrome is treated as a Pitta imbalance, specifically targeting the eye’s moisture and nourishment. Triphala ghee is commonly used for its therapeutic effects on eye health, helping in tear production, eyelid function, and extraocular muscle support.

Treatment Approach:

  1. Application of Ghee Drops in the eyes.
  2. Gentle Massage with Triphala Ghee around the eyes.
  3. Netra Tarpan – a soothing Ayurvedic procedure that offers substantial relief.
