Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Some folks on the List do use KT on their eyes, but keep in mind that it is very acidic and could irritate them. Best bet: drink your KT, and if you do use it on your eyes, dilute it. What has helped my eyes a lot is Dr. 's Herbal Eyebright, which I do not sell. To use it, you make some eyebright tea, strain it, and add 10 drops of the tincture to it. Let cool. Then you wipe your eyes six times a day with the eyebright / tincture solution.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Someone did post a while back on this... i.e. a few months ago... Cotton balls soaked in it maybe? Can't remember the details - just that it was successful... if no one else responds, you may want to check the archives... Yes, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) does related liver & eyes... and in Western, allopathic medicine one hint of jaundice (a liver ailment) is seen by the yellow color in the eyes... Good luck! ~Lusana sian jones wrote: hello everyone i would like to know if anyone knows whether or not kombucha tea could be applied to eyes, i have pinguecula which are really irritating, do you think kt's too acidic to maybe wipe it over my eyes? or even drip a bit into them to try and relieve the irritation? chinese medicine (i think) says the liver and eyes are related in some way and eye problems can be a manifestation of liver troubles, i don't have a lot of kombucha tea to drink at the moment to help with cleansing my liver, was wondering if i could use it to tackle the eye problem from a different direction, any ideas appreciated, thanks, sian ) --------------------------------- Yahoo!

I have used KT many times in my eyes. I've used it wiped on the eyelid, and also a drop or two dripped in. I don't know what pinguecula is, so I can't speak to that per se. My eyes get gritty feeling and sometimes the only thing that helps is the KT. In response to this thread coming up previously, someone told a story of a relative of theirs having gotten a metal shard in their eye, and the treatment was the doctors used acid to gradually destroy the metal shard, and it worked, vision saved all that. And the listmembers point was, if it's safe to use acid that will destroy metal but not the eye, then... So. Just to let you know I've been doing it. Diluting it, or using milder KT is a good idea. The full-on vinegar is quite startling to the body. It will no doubt sting regardless, but it's a good sting for me, not long lasting. 's suggestion of Dr. 's eyebright mixture is good. I have used it years ago and it really helped me. I just tend to be lazy and prefer to keep things simple, and if I have KT onhand and my body says, " gimme " , I have been exploring that. --V ~~~ There is no way to peace; peace is the way ~~~~ --A.J.
