The name Euphrasia is derived from the Greek word ‘euphrosyne,’ meaning joy, a reference to its traditional use as an eye cleanser. Highly regarded by Western herbalists, this herb has long been valued as a natural remedy for supporting eye health.
Herbalists have traditionally used Euphrasia as a poultice for treating eye inflammations, such as conjunctivitis, blepharitis, and styes. Additionally, scientific studies have been conducted to explore its potential effects.
Its effectiveness as an eye cleanser is attributed to its antimicrobial compounds, including volatile oils and tannins. Euphrasia is also known to act as a blood purifier and support healthy liver function.
Some suggest that Euphrasia’s cleansing effect on the liver may release stored vitamin A into the bloodstream, which is then directed to the eyes. This process is believed to potentially strengthen eye health.
Euphrasia is traditionally believed to support a wide range of eye-related conditions, includining:
- Inflammation of the Iris (Iritis): May help soothe and reduce inflammation.
- Inflammation of the Eyelid (Blepharitis): Often used as a natural remedy to alleviate symptoms.
- Dry Eyes and Myopia: Provides relief for dryness and may support general eye health.
- Inflammation of the Cornea (Keratitis): Helps in calming irritation and promoting healing.
- Eye Infections: Its antimicrobial properties may aid in managing infections.
- Inflammation of the Tear Duct (Dacryocystitis): Used to reduce swelling and irritation.
- Eye Contamination: Assists in cleansing the eyes of dirt or foreign particles.
- Eye Fatigue: Provides relief for tired or strained eyes.
- Irritation from Prolonged Computer Use: Helps soothe discomfort caused by digital screens.
