Herbal Remedy for Dry Eye

I woke up yesterday with my eye feeling like I had an eyelash in it. When I went to check and try to get it out, there was nothing but red. So I figured I must have scratched it. It was annoying, but I was able to go about my day. By the evening though it was starting to hurt and I didn't think it was getting better. I thought mabybe it was infected so zi started putting in colloidial silver drops. It gave a tiny bit of relief so I started boiling water and made a tea of some herbs I already had that I thought might be good for eyes. After the kids went to bed I started researching on the internet and found out it was probably dry eye-- I had all the symptoms. There didn't seem to be much I could do about it and I wasn't sure how long it would last. I put drops of the tea in my eye and wet a washcloth with the tea and laid down with it. that seemed to really help. Then I thought to mhyself that I really needed to check Dr. Christopher's website www.herballegacy.com I could hardly open eye at this point and it even seemed hard to open the good eye. I really felt blind and started to worry about getting through the next day. I was incapacitated. I managed to look up the eye ailment and got this formula which I have made before:

1 part eyebright
1 part goldenseal
1 part red raspberry leaf
1 part babyberry bark
1/8 part cayenne

I had all those herbs in powdered form, it was tough to find them all, but I managed to make another tea with these, let it sit for 15 min. and then put those drops in my eye and got another washcloth soaked with the new tea and put it on my eye. I couldn't even feel the cayenne I was in such pain. I felt relieved, but when the washcloth felt too hot I remembered reading that alternating between hot and cold water can help stimulate the blood an tissues of the body. So put the now cold washcloth from previous tea on my eye for a little bit and then put the warm one back on and fell asleep.

I got woken up about 2 hours later by my 3 yob and after giving him a drink of water I realized that my pain was gone and it no longer felt like I had something in my eye. I looked in the mirror and found that there was a little bit of pus and a tiny perfectly round beige ball that looked like it had been expelled from my eye.

My eye feels tired and sore now, but there is no pain and I'm sure it will be fine. We appreciate what we have until it's gone. I will appreciate my eyes so much more in the future and I will feel more empathy for the blind. I'm thankful for my eyes!!
