Eyebright
Eyebright was and continues to be used by herbalists primarily as a poultice for the topical treatment of eye inflammations.
Traditionally, a compress made from a decoction of eyebright is used to give relief from redness, swelling, and visual disturbances due to eye infections. A tea is sometimes given internally along with the topical treatment. It has also been used for the treatment of eye fatigue and to maintain good eye health. In addition, herbalists have recommended eyebright to be used orally to maintain a healthy respiratory tract.
