******************************************** “Natural Forces Within Us Are The True Healers” ~ Hippocrates
1) WHAT IS LOVE?
"When mystics use the word love, they use it very carefully -- in the deeply spiritual sense, where to love is to know; to love is to act. If you really love, from the depths of your Consciousness, that love gives you a native wisdom. You perceive the needs of others intuitively and clearly, with detachment from any personal desires; and you know how to act creatively to meet those needs, dexterously surmounting any obstacle that comes in the way. Such is the immense, driving power of love." -- Eknath Easwaran
"Therefore, when I say that ‘I love,’ it is not I who love, but in reality Love who acts through me. Love is not so much something I do as something that I am. Love is not a doing but a state of being - a relatedness, a connectedness to another mortal, an identification with her or him that simply flows within me and through me, independent of my intentions or my efforts." -- Robert A. Johnson
"When you are aware that you are the force that is Life, anything is possible. Miracles happen all the time, because those miracles are performed by the heart. The heart is in direct communion with the human soul, and when the heart speaks, even with the resistance of the head, something inside you changes; your heart opens another heart, and true love is possible." -- Don Miguel Ruiz
2) BENEITS OF USING HERBAL MEDICINE

People have begun to recognize the usage of herbal medicines and natural remedies because of the numerous advantages it has. The use of herbal medicine is widespread and growing. In fact, herbs are always the alternative medicine and primary source of health care for more people in the world.

Herbal medicines need not be tested to prove that they work well and are safe before they are sold. Herbal medicines are even more convenient to buy. You can buy herbal medicines without a prescription. Herbal medicines are much cheaper than synthetic drugs.
The use of herbal medicines in the right way provides effective and safe treatment for many ailments. The effectiveness of the herbal medicines is mostly subjective to the patient. The potency of the herbal medicines varies based on the genetic variation of the herbs, growing conditions of the herbs, timing and method of harvesting of the herbs, exposure of the herbs to air, light and moisture, and type of preservation of the herbs.
Herbal medicines can be used for healing purposes and to promote wellness. Herbal medicines are not addictive or habit forming, but are powerful nutritional agents that support the body naturally.

Herbal preparations are the best when taken under the guidance of a trained professional. When used correctly, herbal medicines are considered safer than conventional medications.
Though herbal medicines have so many advantages, herbal medicines does not necessarily mean safe for you always. Many natural substances and herbal medicines can be harmful if taken in over doses or if used wrongly. More over, herbal medicines may not be pure sometimes. Unregulated, herbal products may be mislabeled and may contain undeclared additives and adulterants. They may also include other things such as plant pollen or contaminants that could make you sick. Hence, it is always wise to consult with your doctor first before taking your herbal medications. Testing and standardized manufacturing of herbal medicines and supplements is needed, in order to have the full benefits of herbal medicines. Researches reveal that all herbal medicines should be stopped 2 weeks before any surgery. Source: Aardf.org
3) NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR GLAUCOMA
Glaucoma is not just one disease; rather is is a group of different diseases that cause damage to optic nerve within the eye. The damage occurs as the result of increased pressure within the eyes. The damage caused by glaucoma may result in poor vision or eventually even blindness. Types of glaucoma include low-tension glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, congenital glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma and neovascular glaucoma. Glaucoma may affect one or both eyes.
Glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States, is a serious disease that should be treated by a qualified medical practitioner. However, glaucoma natural treatments are available as supplementary practices that can help you to sustain your quality of life during your medical treatments for glaucoma. Although the various glaucoma natural treatments may be effective for glaucoma patients, do not use them without your doctor's knowledge as they may interfere or interact with your prescription medication.
1.Vitamin C Large does of vitamin C decreases intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients. Although papayas, citrus fruits, potatoes, bell peppers, tomatoes, kiwi, broccoli and mangoes are all high in vitamin C, eating these foods every day may not be enough. Take 1,000 to 2,000 mg a day of a vitamin C supplement to help reduce the intraocular pressure in your eyes.
Bilberry The herb bilberry may stop further glaucoma damage to your eyes. Bilberry contains anthocyanidins, antioxidants that reduce pressure in the eye, protect the retina and strengthen and protect the eye's blood vessels and retina. Take 120 to 240 mg of Bilberry extract with 25 percent anthocyanosides daily.
Punarnava Punarnava is an Ayurvedic, or traditional Indian, medicinal herb used to treat glaucoma. Punarnava may reduce the pressure of an eye affected with glaucoma and is best used as a treatment in the early stages of glaucoma. You can purchase Punarnava at online Indian pharmacies, Indian grocery stores or online herb retailers. Steep one tsp. of punarnava into one cup boiling water and let the mixture sit for two minutes. Strain the tea through cheesecloth and drink two to three times per day.
Magnesium
Magnesium may improve peripheral blood circulation and vision in glaucoma patients. Take 243 mg of a magnesium supplement every day for one month to experience these results. Magnesium may also prevent glaucoma by counteracting a suspected glaucoma cause, glutamic acid.
Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo biloba, an herb with antioxidant constituents, may help alleviate glaucoma symptoms through improved blood circulation to the eyes. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, the general ginkgo biloba dosage is 120 mg daily in divided doses with 6 to 12 percent terpenoids and 24 to 32 percent glycosides.
Eyebright Eyebright is an herb that has been used as an eye tonic for hundreds of years. Eyebright contains antioxidant constituents, including Vitamins A, C, D and E and some B vitamins, that combat free radical damage in the eyes. Purchase eyebright herbal drops from a health food store or online herb retailer. Liquid eyebright dosages will most likely differ, so follow your doctor's recommendation.
HOMEOPATHIC TREAMENT FOR GLAUCOMA
Homeopathy can be an effective way to reduce symptoms.
Warning There are hundreds of homeopathic remedies, and selection is based on medical history, emotional status, and environment, as well as physical discomfort. Consultation with a professional homeopath is highly advised over self-diagnosis.
Phosphorus This remedy is formulated to treat optic nerve atrophy and loss of vision, as well as eye pain, vertigo and fatigue. Indifference, fear of death, bored restlessness and loss of memory may further indicate a need for phosphorus.
Osmium Osmium may be prescribed when symptoms are accompanied by eczema, hair loss and acne. Halos are seen around objects and lights, and anxiety and restlessness are the predominant emotions. Symptoms worsen with touch or warm food and are temporarily relieved by open air.
Spigelia Anthelmia When headache, vertigo and pressing eye pain coexist with sensitivity to touch, Spigelia may help. Heart conditions and weak pulse are characteristic of those requiring Spigelia. Inhaling relieves symptoms, which movement worsens.
Sulphur When a strong aversion to bathing is expressed, sulfur can provide relief. Red-faced anger is usually experienced along with headache, burning eyes and insomnia.
OTHER REMEDIES
Regular exercise can help to reduce eye pressure. Also, drinking adequate amounts of water throughout the day can lower eye pressure.
Antioxidants are important to treat glaucoma. Antioxidants are compounds that counter free radicals, the scavengers that destroy and damage cells. Turmeric, grape seed extract, resveratrol, garlic, green tea, gingko biloba and Asian ginseng all contain high levels of antioxidants.
TO SLOW THE PROGRESS OF GLAUCOMA
Avoid eyestrain that is caused by reading or working at a computer for long periods. Try to take frequent breaks every so often to help give the eyes a break.
Wear sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays, both of these types of light can create free radicals that worsen Glaucoma.
Try mild aerobic exercise, which can actually help to reduce eye pressure. Try to do aerobics every day for around 30 to 45 minutes.
Avoid any tobacco smoke, even secondhand smoke. Smoke will reduce blood flow to the retina and worsen Glaucoma. Also try to avoid smoky areas like bars and restaurants that allow smoking.
Don't watch television in the dark, this can actually worsen Glaucoma.
Avoid caffeine, which can actually reduce the blood flow to the eye.
Avoid alcohol which can lead to a toxic liver, which will worsen or lead to Glaucoma.
Thank you for reading!
