Eyebright Dry Herb Pack Euphrasia officinalis
Learning with LaRee
Eyebright’s affinity for the eyes (and its name) seems to have originated, at least in part, with the ancient Doctrine of Signatures which states the way a plant looks—its signature—indicates the ailments for which it should be used as a medicine. At first glance, this may seem like silly superstition but it has proven to be true too many times to be taken lightly. Eyebright stimulates the liver to clean the blood, relieving those conditions that affect vision and the eyes. Eyebright will strengthen all parts of the eye, nourish the nerves that supply the eye, and bring clarity of vision. There are those who believe that this clarity of vision includes clarity of thought and purpose as well. Eyebright should be taken liberally. For eye infections a well-strained tea should be applied, a few drops at a time, to the eyes. Eyebright, as an eyewash, is usually combined with other herbs such as those found in the EB formula.
