A Natural Approach To Health
Living With Bloodshot Eyes
I had a question the other day about bloodshot eyes.
Two of the most complex organs of your body, your eyes provide you with instant visual feedback of the world around you.
Your eyeball is a sphere about 1″ in diameter and is covered by a tough outer layer called the sclera, or “white of the eye.”
Underneath the sclera is the middle layer of your eye, the choroid, which contains the blood vessels serving your eye.
The front of your eye is covered by a transparent membrane called the cornea.
Behind the cornea is a fluid-filled chamber called the anterior chamber.
Behind that is the pigmented iris, and in the center of your iris is the pupil.
Your eye also contains 2 important fluids.
On the outside of your eyeball are 6 muscles to move your eyes.
Under your upper eyelids are the lacrimal glands, which secrete tears.
At the inner corners of your eyelids are your tear ducts.
What we think of as the simple act of seeing is actually a complex, multistep process occurring continuously and at breathtaking speed.
Light enters your eye through your pupil, which changes size depending on the amount of light entering it.
As light enters your eye, it’s focused by the lens.
The lens becomes fatter or flatter depending on the distance to what you’re focusing on.
The lens projects light onto your retina, where special pigment absorbs the light and forms a corresponding image.
Finally, this image is sent by your optic nerve to your brain, which interprets the image.
One major contributor to eye trouble is poor diet, specifically the denatured, chemical- and preservative-laden foods most Americans eat daily.
A deficiency of just one vitamin can lead to many eye problems.
Supplementation with the correct vitamins and minerals can help prevent or correct eye trouble.
Some supplements also protect against the formation of free radicals, which can damage your eyes.
Bloodshot eyes happen when the small blood vessels on the surface of your eye become inflamed and congested with blood, usually because the cornea or tissues covering your eyes aren’t getting enough oxygen.
It’s usually due to eyestrain, fatigue, and improper diet, especially the consumption of alcohol.
But it can also mean fragile capillaries, the presence of a blood clot, or high blood pressure.
A bloodshot appearance can also result from deficiencies in vitamins B2 and B6, and some amino acids.
Once your body gets the nutrients it needs, the congestion in your blood vessels should disappear.
To deal with bloodshot eyes it’s beneficial to:
*Drink 6-8 cups of purified water daily.
*Use raspberry leaf to alleviate redness and irritation. Prepare a raspberry leaf tea, allow it to cool, and soak a clean cloth or piece of sterile cotton in the tea to make a compress. Apply the compress to your eyes with the lids closed for 10 minutes or as needed.
*Include the following in your diet: broccoli, raw cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, green vegetables, squash, sunflower seeds, and watercress.
*Eliminate sugar and white flour from your diet.
*Never use hair dyes containing coal tar on your eyelashes or eyebrows; doing so can cause injury or blindness. Although coal tar dyes are legal, marketing them for eyebrows isn’t.
*Avoid eyestrain and smoke-filled rooms.
*Eliminate toxic cosmetics, eye care, and personal care products.
*Eliminate chlorinated shower/bath water, which could be irritating.
