Natural Solutions for Pink Eye and Conjunctivitis

Pink eye, red eye, or conjunctivitis is the most common eye disease in the Western hemisphere. How is pink eye diagnosed? What can you do to prevent and soothe this common eye infection?

The conjunctiva is the tissue covering the whites of the eye and inside the eyelid. Conjunctivitis comes on quickly. The eye becomes red, swollen, teary, and itchy. It might feel like a grain of sand is in the eye. Bacteria is usually the cause, but it could be allergies or certain viruses.*

Pink eye is highly contagious. It spreads through objects and contact. The doctor may prescribe sulfa-based eye drops. If the infection does not clear in 3 days, broad spectrum antibiotics could be used.

Dr. Grossman has researched and applied natural remedies to help clear up conjunctivitis. They include nutrition, acupressure, herbs, homeopathic remedies, and herbs. He has prepared his EyeEase herbal tincture, which includes many of these natural substances to fight this eye infection. Listen to find out how to use this tincture and where to find it.
