Question

I’ve been sick for about a year now, and it hasn’t healed yet. I’ve already made a post, but why hasn’t there been any explanation from the doctor?

Answer

From a TCM perspective, glaucoma is caused by wind, fire, phlegm, depression, and an imbalance in Yin and Yang endocrine functions, leading to disharmony in Qi and blood, obstruction of meridians, and poor communication in the meridian’s acupoints. The symptoms of glaucoma often come on suddenly. In addition to thoroughly eliminating the root cause and treating the disease itself, attention should also be paid to constricting the pupil nerve, activating the meridian’s acupoints, completely removing blood stasis, stabilizing symptoms to protect vision. Here are some suggested treatment methods:

  1. Take 100 grams of sheep liver, 15 grams of herba epimedii, and 15 grams of chrysanthemum flowers. Boil the herbs and drink the soup with the sheep liver. It has the effects of nourishing blood, benefiting the liver, improving eyesight, and dispersing wind and clearing heat.
  2. Rehmannia Decoction with Goji Berries: Take 15 grams of rhizoma polygonati, 9 grams of achyranthes root, 15 grams of goji berries, and 9 grams of cassia seed. Boil the herbs and strain the liquid. Add an adequate amount of honey and drink it. Take one dose daily for several days. These are the TCM perspective on glaucoma and some suggested treatment methods. Please consult a professional doctor before implementing any treatment to obtain more detailed and personalized advice.
