Traditional Chinese Medicine remedies for dry eyes

2025/8/22 Edited to

... Read moreDry eyes, medically known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, are a common condition that can cause discomfort, irritation, and vision problems. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic approach to managing dry eyes by addressing underlying imbalances in the body's energy (Qi) and fluids. One of the key TCM treatments for dry eyes includes the use of acupoints such as GB16 (Muchuang) and BL2. These points can be stimulated through gentle massage or scraping techniques around the eye sockets, typically performed in circular motions, to improve circulation and promote tear production. Such techniques not only soothe the eye area but also may enhance the flow of vital energy to ocular tissues. TCM also emphasizes herbal remedies and dietary adjustments that nourish the liver and kidneys, organs believed to play crucial roles in eye health according to TCM theory. Common herbs include Gou Qi Zi (Goji berries), Chrysanthemum flowers, and Schisandra, which help replenish eye moisture and reduce inflammation. Besides these treatments, incorporating regular eye exercises under TCM guidance can strengthen eye muscles and relieve strain caused by prolonged screen use or environmental dryness. Practices such as blinking exercises, focus shifting, and palming help maintain ocular health. Overall, TCM remedies for dry eyes represent a comprehensive strategy combining acupressure, herbal support, and guided exercises. This holistic method can be complementary to conventional treatments, offering a natural and sustainable way to address dry eye symptoms and enhance overall eye care.
