You will find eye injury natural remedies in this article. An eye injury is best treated medically FIRST and then use natural treatments as a support system. Medicine has become very sophisticated in eye treatment, and natural medicine can also be used when other medicines are ineffective or treatments are not available. I have seen some amazing things happen using natural solutions when medical treatments have failed.
Natural Healing Protocol — First, choose an herb. Then add a cell salt or cell salt solution. Finally, choose the homeopathic remedy that fits your situation best. Combining supplements will do more to support your body’s ability to function properly than using just one. Your ability to heal will depend on the severity and length of time symptoms have been present.
