In fact there are a many different natural eye care products and exercises that the sufferer can use to help with their problem eyes.

As you are going to need your eyes for the rest of your life it is in your best interest to take proper care of them. Here are a few tips to help you maintain the health of your eyes:

? If you find that you have dark circles appearing under your eyes try gently applying a few drops of almond, coconut or sesame oil around your eyes.

? While reading, using computers or even watching television it is best to do these activities in a well lit room.

? Avoid intense light or using very hot or very cold water on the face and head.

Natural Eye Care Exercises

If you suffer from a lazy eye (Glaucoma), which is a quite common ailment, you can help by performing a number of daily natural eye care exercises. As is the case with our general bodies and well being, our eyes need regular and sustained exercises to stay in good shape and help with any inherent problems.

An excellent exercise for your eyes are head rolls - this is where you close your eyes, take a long deep breath, hold it for a few seconds and as you slowly exhale, drop your chin to your chest slowly. Next as you are about to inhale you slowly move your head around to the left side and then back again, making sure that your neck and shoulders are relaxed the entire time. Then as you exhale fully you roll your head to the other side. Repeat this exercise ten or more times each day.

Another effective exercise for the eyes involves you closing your eyes, and then you massage them with the tips of your fingers using a circular movement. Do this for about two minutes making sure that you are pressing very lightly on your eyes as excessive pressure will be detrimental to your eyes.

Natural Healing Eye Care Products

As well as doing regular eye exercises there is also a range of natural healing eye care products available that will help you maintain healthy eyes. There are a number of excellent all-natural eye drops that you can use to relieve dry eyes. These eye drops are also very useful in treating eyes that have been exposed to irritants such as smoke, dust, ultraviolet rays, excessive sugars, drug use and more.

It is important to remember that our eyesight is one of the most important of our senses and that a medical practitioner should examine any medical condition likely to impact on the quality and effectiveness of our sight. Once you have a qualified diagnosis of any problem you can then consult a naturopath for ideas and help in developing a natural remedy treatment plan.

Eczema is a terrible condition that can be painful, embarressing, depressing and in extreme cases very dangerous to the victim. It is estimated that 15 Million Americans suffer from some form of eczema and with such a large number of people out there all looking for a cure the seeds of disinformation are sown. Here is a few of the main unthruths about eczema and some explanation of thier cause.

Myth 1. Eczema is caused by emotional disorders

Many people believe that Eczema is caused by emotional disorders and can be removed by curing such emotional root causes. This is a total fallacy as eczema is a condition of the immune system not a mental one. Eczema sufferers have a condition where the keratinocytes in the skin are less tightly bound together and will be more exposed to external substances which break down the skins protective barriers.

It has been found that exessive stress can cause eczema to flare up even more however which is probably where this myth arises. Keeping calm may not only help reduce the effects of the flare up but will help you mentallyn deal with the condition of course!

Myth 2. Steroids can remove eczema

Corticosteroids have been used to some success to give relief from eczema but they do not remove it completely. While short term releief can be attained the side effects of steroid treatment can be life threatening in some situations!

Some noted side effects include: Cataracts, Glaucoma, Hypertension, Osteoporosis, and many others.

Using Corticosteroids is an imperfect and dangerous propostion and will not remove your eczema.

Myth 3. Medically “proven” cure all pills

There are many products on the market that promise to remove your eczema quickly. These glib advertisements seem too good to be true, mainly because they ARE too good to be true!. Elidel and Protopic are two such drugs that have been proven to cause cancer in many types of animals during testing as well as causing respitory problems esspecially in young children and those with a weak immune system. As eczema is linked to your immune system this should sound warning bells! As with most miracle cures the real miracle is that they are allowed to sell them.

So the question remains, “How to remove eczema?” Is there any long term relief or cure? Most advocates of eczema relief are leaning more to natural remedies that target the root cause of eczema and treat it from the inside and out with many natural remedies and have had much success along with other natural products like Aloe Vera.

Eye diseases like cataract, glaucoma, detached retina or myopia all come from weakness and inflammation in the tissues that compose and surround the eye. Most doctors don’t really know what to say to you on how to improve your eye health. They don’t know how you can strengthen and protect your eyes from becoming disease or if you have an eye disease how to improve your condition.

In 1985, I develop detached retina in my right eye and my left eye had weakness.

The day I went to the eye specialist in Palo Alto to see why part of my vision was dark, I didn’t go home for 3 day. The very moment the doctor examine my eyes, he said “You need to go to the hospital right now and have surgery tonight.” Was I scared? Definitely!

Was the surgery a success? Yes it was. But not until I went through a 5 hour laser surgery procedure, had a needle pushed into my eye as I looked straight at it, and had an in house laser procedure of 50 pulses.

Months later I asked my eye doctor what I could do to improve my eye health and to keep them strong. There was silence and my question was never answered. He just didn’t know.

Since that time, I become a nutritionist and have learn many things about keeping eyes healthy and I plan to write an e-report so that I can pass that information on to many of you that want to avoid losing your good eye sight as you become older.

Right now I want to give you only one thing you can do for your eye health. I want to give you a formula on how you can make your own eye drops made out of MSM. As you recall in the last newsletter, I mentioned MSM eye drops that you can use it in your ears to keep them flexible. Well, MSM eye drops are the best drops you can use in your eyes to:

” strengthen them

” prevent glaucoma

” prevent cataract,

” keep them young

” dissolve mucus accumulation

” keep your eyes moist

” correct dryness

” relieve strain

” relieve red eye

” clear up pink eye

” clear up sties

” clears up eye infections

” tie up free damaging free radical

” tie up destructive proteins

The best part about MSM eye drops is that they are not addictive like many of the eye drops that you find at the drug store.

Look, can you ask any more of this eye drop solution? Yes you can. The second best part about MSM eye drops is that they are really cheap. You can buy it already make for around $5. Of course, you only get one ounce. The shipping cost more than the product.

Here’s what I buy when I make it myself:

” a 2 or 4 ounce brown eye dropper bottle

” torpedo MSM tablets of 1000 mg per tablet

” saline solution that I use for my contact lens and that’s it.

Here’s how to make it:

” Boil the eye dropper bottle with stem and rubber top for 10 minute

” After boiling, rinse out the inside of the bottle, stem, and rubber cap with distilled water.

” fill the bottle with 80% saline solution.

” add two to four MSM torpedoes making it 2000 to 4000 mg.

” Let the MSM dissolve and it’s ready for use.

Only one warning, just start with only two torpedoes. Then test it on your eye by dropping one drop into your eye. You will feel a little bit of a sting. Keep adding a torpedo until the sting is not too severe or to slight. I use 4 torpedoes since I am use to the sting. I also add a drop of 98% Aloe Vera gel, since aloe has an antibacterial property and it promotes cell regeneration. Of course, adding aloe makes it sting more but this will not damage your eye. Just go slow and add mall amount of aloe until you get the effect you can live with.

This is a real nice eye drop and excellent for your eye health. It is best to make it yourself, since it can be done when ever you need it. I use it all the time before I put my contacts lens, when I have my contacts on, and after I take them off. Have fun doing this and if you have children show them what you are doing.
