As its name suggests, eyebright is used to treat a number of eye problems. Euphrasia, as it is correctly known, is used to treat a form of eye inflammation known as ophthalmia, and also blepharitis, which is an inflammation of the eyelids and also conjunctivitis. It has also been used to treat a stye, cataracts and bloodshot eyes, in addition to a number of other conditions including sinusitis, allergies and conditions of the respiratory tract.

Eyebright is effective when used as an eyewash, adding about 6 drops of liquid extract to 2 cups filtered or boiled water. Using this every four hours often clears up the problem, but if not then a supplement in the form of capsules often helps. Eyebright contains anti-inflammatory glycosides and flavonoids that not only help cure inflammatory eye conditions, but also inflammation caused by infections of the upper respiratory tract, inflamed sinuses and some allergic conditions that result in inflammation. Seasonal allergies such as hay fever are an example, and so too is acne and other inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema. 5 drops of eyebright extract in a quarter cup of water can be very effective when used to wash over the affected areas.

Although eyebright is generally regarded as beneficial for a range of eye problems, it is not restricted just to these, and its anti-inflammatory properties are useful in treating a number of other inflammatory conditions.

It doesn't take a genius to figure how eyebright got its name, and if you have any inflammatory condition of your eyes then this herb might be the answer. It has been used for centuries to treat conditions such as conjunctivitis, blepharitis and styes, but it is not just restricted to inflammatory conditions. You can use a solution of eyebright extract as an eyewash to help clear up early cataracts and bloodshot eyes, and some use it for age-related failing vision and eye weakness.

It is not only the anti-inflammatory nature of eyebright that enables it be effective in treating such conditions because it appears to go further than that. It appears to strengthen all parts of the eye, improving the function of its various components and also the elasticity of the optical nerves and muscles. It is effective when used both as an eyewash and a supplement in tablet or capsule form.

Eyebright is sometimes used along with other herbs such as echinacea and nettles to treat inflamed and runny eyes associated with allergies, particularly in children.

As a dietary supplement, take 1 or 2 capsules two times a day with meals or a glass of water.
