WHAT DR. SCHULZE SAY ABOUT EYEBRIGHT FORMULA :

For centuries people have washed their eyes with herbal teas and tonics. This was done to physically cleanse the eyes of dust and dirt particles, destroy harmful bacteria of eye infections and increase circulation to the eyes. In the early 1900's washing eyes became so popular that many herbal and pharmaceutical companies sold bottles of eyewashing preparations in the drug stores, and the top of the bottle was actually an eyecup that screwed off. You can still find these bottles

for sale in many antique stores along with hundreds of clear, white and cobalt blue eyecups which have now become collector's items. After WWII the practice of washing eyes was dropped for you guessed it, antibiotics again. The supposed cure-all.

You can can still find eyewash cups for sale today in drugstores, but most often they are plastic. You want to search out and find the glass ones, which are much more comfortable and you can clean them better.

This formula is based on classic eyewash herbs that have been used for literally centuries for this purpose, except one, Cayenne. This was the addition of the late Dr. John Christopher, which this formula is based on, who became famous for his patients' miracle healings with eye infections, disorders and diseases, even cataracts, glaucoma and blindness. Although the Cayenne in the formula did sting a bit, it so dramatically increased the blood circulation to the eyes, well you can just imagine what happens.

By current law I cannot describe this formula any further.

METABOLIC ACTION AND BOTANICAL CHEMISTRY:

Goldenseal root is famous for being a mild acting, but highly effective antibacterial and antiseptic herb. In the clinic I found it extremely useful for destroying infection around the sensitive areas of the body like the eyes, inside the sinus, and sensitive mucous membrane areas where garlic could be too strong. It contains the alkaloids hydrastine, berberine and canadine, and volatile oils and resins. The first two alkaloids are listed medically as antibacterial andand antiseptic.

Eyebright and Fennel both have a long history of being used for the eyes, soothing inflammation and reducing irritation, especially for conjunctivitis. Mullein is very soothing and demulcent to the delicate mucous membranes. Red Raspberry is a mild astringent and Rue an antispasmodic. Again, the law restricts me from commenting any further.

DOSAGE:

Mix 2 to 10 drops of the tincture into 1 ounce of room temperature distilled water. It is illegal for me to suggest putting it into your eues.

PRICE:          $22.00               QUANTITY:   1 ounces / 30ml.
