Conjunctivitis and Blepharitis

The conjunctiva is a delicate membrane which connects the eyeball and inner eyelid. it is usually transparent, but when it is irritated or inflamed (conjunctivitis) it turns a blood-red colour.

In most cases, conjunctivitis is produced by microorganisms (viruses or bacteria), and worsens on being exposed to smoke, dust, polluted water or excessive light. to strain one's eyes may also produce irritation or congestion of the conjunctiva.

Phytotherapeutic healing is based on the local application of anti-inflammatory, emollient, and antiseptic plants. All emollient plants are general recommended.

in chronic or persistent cases, conjunctivitis may be treated with the same plants as conjunctivitis may be related to a lack of vitamin A, or to toxicity due
