Herb descriptions are as follows:
Coleus(Coleus forskohlii) is an herb in the mint family that is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine. Studies have shown that coleus will lower intraocular pressure by relaxing smooth muscles in the eye. It also has antihistamine properties, which may reduce the allergic component of increased eye pressure.
Gingko(Gingko biloba) has been shown to increase visual acuity in people with macular degeneration. It increases blood circulation to the head, which includes the brain and the eyes, so it can speed healing of all of the tissues associated with vision.
Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinalis radix) is another universal liver tonic, aiding in the digestion and balancing of blood sugar levels, which combine to create good health for the eyes. In addition, dandelion contains antioxidants to help tissues stay healthy.
Eyebright(Euphrasis officinalis) has been known throughout history as an effective herb to help tonify the eyes.
Gingko (Ginkgo biloba) has been shown to increase visual acuity in people with macular degeneration. Ginkgo increases blood circulation to the head, which includes the brain and the eyes, so it can speed healing of all of the tissues associated with vision.
Milk Thistle (silybum marianum) is an excellent liver tonic. It increases the flow of bile from the liver, helping to detoxify poisons in our bloodstream. It nourishes the liver, reducing stress and increasing energy throughout the body.
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), the European version of the blueberry, has been called the vision herb for its powerful effect on all types of visual disorders. Research has shown that bilberry can improve night vision, relieve visual fatigue, and protect the eyes from glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration. Bilberry improves the delivery of oxygen and blood to the eyes, strengthens the capillaries that feed the eye muscles and nerves, and works as an anitoxidant to inhibit damage by free radicals.
Bupleurem (umbelliferae) improve the free flow of energy in the body.
Gardenia (rubiaceae) reduces heat in the body allowing better free flow of energy.
