Eyes and Body Health & Vice Versa

 Hi Friends,

It is quite a break that I could not post anything on my blogspaces... But now I am back.

The topic may seem weird right?!

Well, I just visited an unique Eye hospital. What was unique about it, you will come to know at the end.. 

Unique Eye Hospital in Kutch

I had some small allergic irritation, so visited the doctor. It was situated in no metropolitan cities, but in Kutch, Gujarat.

My Experience at the Eye Hospital

Normally, elsewhere, my eyes would be checked and some eye drops prescribed accordingly. However, here, the experience was different.. 

This young Ophthalmologist first checkedy eyes thoroughly in a machine. He said it was basic allergic irritation. I told him I kept getting this often.

His assistant had previously taken my brief Medical history.. Yes, you heard it right, an eye hospital and Medical history been taken. I was impressed, but confused as to why it was required....

Then, the counselor at the Doctor, according to the instruction of the doctor, explained me the correlation of Body health on eyes and vice versa... 

I was shocked to know at this unique Integrative Eye Hospital, where Ayurveda played a major role in treatment.

Well, the doctor said the reoccurring allergic irritation were due to some body Pitta Humor in my body and my consitpation.

Can you ever imagine that my issue in body elsewhere had impact on my eyes !!?😳 The doctor told the drops would give me relief temporarily.. I was advised to treat my constipation and overall Pitta of body.

You won't believe, after some weeks of treatment, I could find the difference. 

The counselor at the hospital told me 70 % of eye issues can be due to overall issues in the body. Not all require pure eye treatment. I learnt that there was a branch in Ayurveda that dealt with only Eyes called Shalakya...

My purpose to share this small experience is to promote Ayurvedic Ophthalmology so both our Body Health and Eye Care is taken care of, with ease.

It was an informative session. I learnt that Like every body part, eye also gets impacted by overall Health of the body. Any issues in the body do have impact on the health of eyes.

 I saw that Glaucoma, allergy, Diabetic Retinopathy, and many such eye diseases could be treated with an Integrated approach. So a comprehensive Medical History and daily routine of the patient helps to rectify that issue, which in turn cured the eyes problem.
