Corneal Ulcer - Chinese Medicine explanation and treatment
Corneal ulcers are often caused by a scratch on the cornea, the transparent covering which
protects the lens of the eye. The white of the eye becomes bloodshot and
waters, and there is pain and discomfort.
A combination of allopathic and Chinese Medicine therapy is the best recourse for corneal ulcers. Antibiotics are very effective, but internally Chinese herbs can offer a lot of help to dispel the heat and fire in the liver and gallbladder. This will be cleared by a Chinese Medicine practitioner using skullcap and rhubarb and this will also help to reduce scarring on the eyes. Chinese Herbal teas to wash the eyes can also help, in addition to antibiotics.
