Tips for choosing honey and recipes for eye treatment with honey

Eyes are the most important of the sensory organs. With the help of vision, we get about 70% of information about the world around us. Therefore, for many people, loss of sight is a great shock, which not everyone can survive. To maintain and maintain eye health, it is necessary to prevent and treat diseases that can lead to irreparable consequences. Honey eye treatment is a successful technique of folk medicine to maintain and get rid of problems with the organs of vision.

Eye benefits

Honey is a product of the life of bees, which contains in addition to simple carbohydrates a whole complex of vitamins and microelements. Uniqueness lies in a different composition, depending on the polluted flowers, the time of the year of collecting honey and the habitat of bees.

Honey eyes are treated in two ways. The first is based on the systemic effect of the product on the body when taken inside. First of all, the influence of honey is directed to immunity. Thanks to vitamins A, E and C, the protective forces of the organism are activated. Increasing the immune response leads to an increase in the body's resistance to infections. This is especially important for the organ of vision, since during the illness the natural barrier of the mucous eye decreases. Infection, getting into the eye, does not encounter confrontation, and various inflammatory complications develop: conjunctivitis, iridocyclitis, blepharitis, etc. The use of honey leads to the activation of immunity throughout the body and, in particular, in the eyes.



In addition, vitamins A, E and C have antioxidant properties, so they prevent the negative and harmful effects of radiation from the screens and monitors on the organ of vision. Electromagnetic radiation provokes a decrease in vision due to the formation of free radicals, which destroy nerve endings and small capillary vessels. Antioxidants neutralize free oxygen and restore homeostasis in the organs of vision.

In addition to oral administration, honey can also be used for topical application. There are many recipes for eye health, in which the main ingredient is honey. Their effectiveness is based on the ability of the product to create a specific protective film on the eye, which as a shield protects the body from infection, foreign bodies, harmful radiation. Action develops gradually, as the accumulation of honey nutrients.

Also the application of honey solutions directly to the eye shell leads to relaxation of the eye muscles, which leads to a decrease in intraocular pressure. This principle is successfully used in patients with glaucoma - increased intraocular pressure.

In cataracts, the slowing of the process of clouding the lens is due to the local antioxidant effect of honey.

Among other things, honey relieves fatigue, eliminates "sand in the eyes," redness and many other symptoms that accompany modern society when working with computer equipment.

Indications for use for the eyes

Eye medication can be used for both prevention and treatment. To prevent eye diseases is recommended in the following cases:

1. For prolonged use with a computer, laptop, tablet.
2. In cases of work associated with increased concentration of attention and overexertion of the organ of vision.
3. For prolonged exposure in conditions of increased solar radiation or under the influence of sharp artificial light.
4. For the prevention of visual impairment in schoolchildren.
5. After 45 years to prevent age-related changes in vision.
6. With genetic predisposition to myopia, cataract, glaucoma or other ophthalmologic pathologies.

Honey treatment is indicated for the following diseases:

1. Myopia of mild degree in childhood.
2. Conjunctivitis in children and adults.
3. Keratitis, blepharitis, iridocyclitis.
4. Glaucoma.
5. Cataract.
6. Corneal ulcer.
7. Violation of the tone of the oculomotor and eye muscles.

Important! Honey treatment rather refers to maintenance therapy, since some eye diseases such as cataracts can not be cured without surgery. The product of beekeeping only slows down the degenerative processes in the lens, but it can not be called a panacea. Therefore, it makes no sense to be interested in how to treat the eyes with honey before full diagnosis and treatment in an ophthalmic clinic. But for prevention - it's an excellent natural remedy, which is suitable even for children.

However, before starting the application, it is necessary to approach the purchase of a sweet drug responsibly, since a poor-quality product can only exacerbate the situation.

Tips for choosing a quality product

To avoid mistakes and do no harm yourself, you should adhere to several rules in the purchase of the product:

4. Normal honey color from light yellow to dark orange.
5. It's best to buy the product right on the bee apiary.
6. The taste of honey should be sweet. The smell of honey, floral. If there is no smell or alcohol, then honey is of poor quality.
7. The consistency of a natural product is viscous, when it drips, it continues with a continuous thread until all of it drains. Artificial delicacy drips with drops.
8. The most useful for eyes is honey with acacia. It is the most low-allergic in comparison with other species.

The ways of recognizing impurities are to carry out several reactions. To reveal the chalk it is necessary to drip into the honey with vinegar, as a result, the product will boil.

To reveal the starch, you need to dissolve a spoonful of honey in a glass of water. Then add a drop of iodine. When starch is present, the water turns blue.

Precautions for the use of

Before attempting to instill honey into the eyes or take it inside, you should test for allergic sensitivity.

Important! Mistaken honey is considered a strong allergen. But with an in-depth study of this problem, scientists came to the conclusion that allergies cause impurities in the form of plant debris, shells of bees, mites.

But even the most purified honey contains a certain proportion of protein impurities, which can trigger an allergic reaction. To exclude the possibility of development, you must anoint the honey on the inner surface of the forearm and leave it for 5 minutes. If there is an allergy, then the place of application will be redness and itching.

Even with a negative test, children should be given honey first and follow the reaction.
