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?
