Eye Issues

Every Spring my son gets crazy red eyes that are itchy and burn.  Many times it is confused for pink eye but there is absolutely no gunk.  It's allergy eyes.  I found this pink eye remedy that also works well with many eye irritation problems, such as dry eyes, poked eye (kids rough housing), swimmers eyes from too much chlorine....basically anything that would cause an eye to not feel right.

This remedy contains chamomile essential oil, grape fruit seed extract and pure water.

For allergy eyes, you would just apply a bit to cotton balls and hold one over each eye.  It's ok if the liquid drips into the eye.  Do this as often as necessary until redness subsides.  If a runny nose or cough are also present, you should also administer ALJ (orally), a liquid blend of herbs that best relieve allergy symptoms.

For viral pink eye, you would apply often as well.  But in addition, you should take the full recommended dose of liquid echinacea (orally), as it is antiviral.  Be warned, this remedy draws the infection out, so the first day it may appear much worse, but in reality, it is cleansing the eye.

For dry eyes from wind exposure, staring at the computer screen or any other cause of dry eyes, just one application should do the trick.
