Glaucoma -
The article below is based on a natural approach to eye care and is not meant to replace any advice from your personal physician.
Each person's situation is different, and it is necessary to consult a professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
NATURAL HEALING OF GLAUCOMA: CAUSE & TREATMENT
The whole idea behind a natural approach to Glaucoma is to fix the root cause, which in most cases is the increased pressure in the eye.
This is thought to be caused by problems with circulation in the body. A healthier lifestyle will eliminate other common causes of pressure like eye strain as well as eliminate many toxins and digestive problems.
The list below is a compilation of several studies done on the causation and suggested cure in the treatment of Glaucoma.
While there may be outside factors (i.e. injury, etc.) which can affect this condition, many of the factors for treatment and prevention are within our control. This is cause for A LOT of hope! Please read, and God bless you.
