Guest guest Posted February 4, 2001 Report Share Posted February 4, 2001 Rosemarie, Read the label! It says 2-10 drops in an ounce of distilled water. Start at 2-4 drops. jim Rosemarie Geiger wrote: > > I know there were recent posts on this, but I've just received a bottle of > Dr. Schulze's Eyebright and I forget.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2001 Report Share Posted February 5, 2001 I'm not sure that Schulze has an e-mail address, but you can call for a free catalogue at 1-800-HERB-DOC. I have been using his Eyebright for about 3 months and have had a great improvement in my eyesight. Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 Here is the recipe and dosages I used for Dusty. I added 1 tbsp. each of Eyebright herb & flower, Goldenseal root, Rue flower, Fennel, Red Raspberry leaf & Mullein flower to a pint of spring water and brought to a boil. I poured that through a very fine strainer. After it cooled I poured it into a container and added 3 drops of 35% of hydrogen peroxide as a preservative and stored in fridge. I add a drop of this mixture to a tsp of room temperature water. Using an eyedropper I deposit about 3 or 4 drops of this combination to each eye. Jackie uses a cotton ball.

And how often do you use it? Congratulations on your improvement! pj >> The directions on the bottle say only: Do not use undiluted. I asked people on this forum and got answers. I use a glass eyecup, (people said plastic is not good) and always distilled water. I started with 2 drops now use 3-4 and sort of stir the water with the eyedropper. Suggest you start with only 1-2 drops. It stings a little and you should be careful not to use too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2001 Report Share Posted February 23, 2001 about eyebright...forgot to say I use it every morning when I get up. Sometimes again that day...sometimes not. The effect makes me think of a line from Blake: " If the doors of perception were cleansed..... " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 , I just learned about the tea in December 2002 when my grandson had eye problems. His eye were congested and stuck together and very red. I asked his nutritionist what to do and he told me to get eyebright tea. I used the tea for several days. My grandson has not had anymore problems. I have thought about trying the tea for myself because my vision gets blurry at times. I stay so focused on my grandson until I don't think about doing something like this for myself. The tea does taste pretty good. I happen to like hot tea. I need to try drinking it and see if it helps my vision. Hope it helps you. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Hi My doctor told me to buy it to treat my grandson's eyes and I just went to the local HFS and purchased it. I would imagine there are places on the internet you can find info about eye bright tea if you do a search. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Eyebright: (Euphrasia officinalis) Euphrasia officinalis refers to a vast genus containing over 450 species. European wild plants grow in meadows, pastures, and grassy places in Bulgaria, Hungary, and the former Yugoslavia. Eyebright is also grown commercially in Europe. The plant flowers in late summer and autumn. The whole herb is used in commercial preparations. Historical or traditional use (may or may not be supported by scientific studies): Eyebright was and continues to be used primarily as a poultice for the topical treatment of eye inflammations, including blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and sties. A compress made from a decoction of eyebright can give rapid relief from redness, swelling, and visual disturbances in acute and subacute eye infections. A tea is usually given internally along with the topical treatment. It has also been used for the treatment of eye fatigue and disturbances of vision. In addition, herbalists have recommended eyebright for problems of the respiratory tract, including sinus infections, coughs, and sore throat. Eyebright is high in iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and tannins. The plant has astringent properties that probably account for its usefulness as a topical treatment for inflammatory states and its ability to reduce mucous drainage. Traditional herbal texts recommend a compress made with 15 grams of the dried herb combined with 500 ml (2 cups) of water and boiled for ten minutes. The undiluted liquid is used as a compress after cooling. This was commonly combined with antimicrobial herbs, such as goldenseal. The German Commission E monograph on eyebright does not support this application, due to possible impurities in non-pharmaceutical preparations. Consult with a physician knowledgeable in the use of herbs before applying eyebright to the eyes. Internally, eyebright tea, made using the same formula above, can be drunk in the amount of two to three cups per day. Dried herb, as 2–4 grams three times per day, may be taken. The tincture is typically taken in 2–6 ml three times per day. Due to limited information on the active constituents in eyebright and the need for sterility in substances used topically in the eyes, the traditional use of eyebright as a topical compress currently cannot be recommended without professional support. Used internally at the amounts listed above, eyebright is generally safe. However, its safety during pregnancy and lactation has not been proven. Suzi What is a weed?
