You will find retina eye natural remedies in this article. The retina is the most back part of the eye that identifies and is sensitive to light. When the light hits the retina, photoreceptors cause a chemical change in the rods and cones to send messages to the brain. Retina problems can come from several causes, from mechanical injuries or diseases such as diabetes. It may also come from lack of circulation or oxygen.
Medical treatments for retina problems include surgery, laser treatments, and more. They are often successful, but not always.
Natural treatments can be used with other therapies and medicines. I have seen some amazing results. Use medical diagnostics and symptoms for best results. The natural therapies are safe and will not interfere with other therapies.
For good eye nutrition, use a whole-food natural vitamin from New Chapter. The absorption is better with this type of supplement. Always eliminate tobacco as it reduces circulation and damages cells. Severely reduce alcohol to one or two drinks a week as it damages the liver which is our primary detoxification mechanism. Coffee or black tea contains alkaloids that stress the liver and kidneys. Sodas reduce calcium and have too much sugar or artificial sweeteners that may be toxic.
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.
