The common name eyebright refers to the plant's long traditional use in treating eye conditions. Eyebright has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties.
It may be used to treat the redness, swelling and visual disturbances caused by blepharitis and conjunctivitis. It tightens the mucous membranes of the eye and thus appears to relieve inflammation. It also reduces catarrh and is therefore often used for infectious and allergic conditions affecting the eyes, middle ear, sinuses and nasal passages. It may be taken internally for sinusitis, hay fever, upper respiratory tract infections, colds, coughs, and sore throats. The dried herb is a ingredient of herbal smoking mixtures, used in the treatment of chronic bronchial colds
Eyebright is also used for eyestrain. As an ophthalmic, an infusion of the plant can be taken internally or used as an eye wash. Alternatively, the diluted juice can be dropped into the eyes. Some caution should be exercised, experimentally it can induce side effects including dim vision. The plant's astringency makes it inappropriate for treating dry or stuffy congestion.
Eyebright can also be used externally as a poultice to aid the healing of wounds.
100ml 1:4 Alcohol Volume 25%. Take 10 - 15 drops 2 x daily.
