Herbal Eyebright Formula
This formula had been used historically for eye disorders such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinopathy and night blindness. In addition, this formula has been used to help promote the general health of the eyes. This formula is a synergistic blend of the following herbs: Bayberry Bark, Eyebright Herb, Golden Seal Root, Red Raspberry Leaves & Cayenne Pepper. Bayberry bark contains astringent compounds that reduce the secretion of fluids, reduce pain and shrink inflamed tissues. Golden seal root is an excellent herbal source of trace minerals, which include: cobalt, iron, magnesium, manganese, silicon and zinc.
It is also an excellent herbal source of vitamin C. Eyebright herb also contains astringent compounds that shrink inflamed tissues. It consists of bitter compounds that relieve pain, are antiseptic and soothe inflamed mucous membranes. This herb is also an excellent herbal source of B-1, B-2, niacin, calcium, cobalt, magnesium, manganese and zinc. Red Raspberry leaves consists of astringent compounds that help to relieve pain and shrink inflamed tissues. This herb is also a great herbal source of manganese. Cayenne is widely used in Dr. Christopher’s original Formulas as a catalyst herb. It's stimulant effects speed the circulation causing it to enhance digestion and absorption and thus the effectiveness of nearly any Dr. Christopher original Formula.
