Black Seed Oil, Castor Oil

Re black seed oil: I'm a human with glaucoma. I saw Om's post from 2016 suggestion about black seed oil helping this, and I had some on hand. I mixed a drop or two of black seed oil with a drop or two of castor oil and applied it on my upper and lower eyelids. Frequency varied. Often I applied it only once or twice a day. When I first started using this, I had iritis and applied it several times a day to my left eye, as it eased the pain.

Subsequent visits to the eye doctor showed greatly reduced pressure in both eyes--and this was despite the fact that I was using Prednisalone in the left eye for iritis. Prednisalone increases eye pressure.

One immediate result of applying this around my eyes is that "floaters" almost completely disappeared.

One additional "home remedy" I used on the left eye was DMSO, also applied on the eyelids (not instilled into the eye). This completely killed the pain of iritis, but did not cure it. I applied this every few hours, more or less as needed for pain. I used a DMSO roller bottle that was a 70/30 water medi gel from the DMSO store online. I don't know if this relieved eye pressure or not. I used it only on the left eye, and the pressure in both eyes was greatly reduced--went from the 30s down to the teens in both eyes. So I think it was the black seed oil.

If you don't mix black seed oil with equal parts castor oil, it stings.
