Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have looked in the archives and there are several mentions of the use of coleus for glaucoma. But no mention of how much and how it is taken. I hear that it may be used as drops in the eye but I am reluctant due to the alcohol content. My patient is willing to try anything as conventional medicine isn't helping, infact he seems to be getting cataracts from it. Any help would be gratefully received.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm not sure about coleus, but I've had some good results with Viscum. It was used in combination with lots of other herbs including Anemone pulsatilla, Crataegus, Vaccinium and Chelidonium, but it was the addition of Viscum which co-incided with the most dramatic drop in pressure.
