Multiple Remedies, Eye Drops
★★★★☆
Since then it's a yearly (sometimes twice) unwelcomed guest. I try to limit the use of steroid drops and dabble with homeopathics (there are so many depending on symptoms that one must choose personally), rose water sprayed into the eye frequently, and drinking tea from calendula flowers, saffron, tulsi and rose petals, taking zeaxanthin.
The ayurvedic remedy is to put a cold milk pad on it and lie down three times a day for at least 20 mins. I've cleansed my liver a lot, and keep doing so, my diet is so clean I cannot take out any more stuff (smile). Still, I cannot get over it entirely without the doctor's drops and it bothers me... Once I'm healed from the current outbreak I'm about to do a month long ayurvedic deep detox to see if that helps. It's such a stressful ordeal and I don't want to go through it anymore!
PS someone mentioned allergy pills: did you mean natural ones from a health food store? Any particular brand?

Rutin
★★★★★
A bit about Rutin:
- Don't use whilst pregnant. It is adrenalin sparing, and too much could conceivably bring on labour.
- Rutin is a plant extract, an antioxidant, and a flavanoid (comparable to quercetin found in tea)
- It may well be synergistic, and beneficial, to take vitamin C with this (or eat fruits containing this)
- Stop taking if you have a chest infection, just as a precaution. I was suspicious of some form of immune suppression, but I could very well be wrong.
Turmeric
I am also taking a bilberry blend with rutin, again working out the dose. Also I am drinking ginger and green tea every morning w honey. I just had a bout last October and after the steroids I started the turmeric and bilberry. Now I feel another bout starting again so I am increasing everything and going to try to fast like a lot of you have said helps. So I will let you know what happens. I think after reading what a lot of you have been thru I feel fortunate. I am hoping the best for all of you. Thx
It's going good. Turmeric 320mg 3x a day and bilberry 350mg 3x a day with rutin 70mg. Organic and lots of veggies.

Turmeric is fat soluble & for best absorption, taken with a fat or oil. Piperine is a extract from black pepper, commonly added to turmeric formulas & enhances the effectiveness, however, it does irritate the digestive membranes so caution is advised.
