Energy Medicine For Eyes
Your eyes are an indicator of overall health. Many eye conditions are related to other issues and energy medicine can provide solutions for both.
Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables rich in Lutein and Zeaxanthin, two carotenoid compounds which are beneficial to eye health. Also incorporate omega 3s as they contribute to vision. Vitamin C also protects corneas against UV radiation.
1. Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that works by manipulating the flow of energy (called “qi”) along the body’s 12 meridians, or channels. By stimulating certain points on these meridians, acupuncture boosts blood circulation while relieving pain, inflammation, or stress associated with eye conditions.
A 12-year-old girl experienced permanent macular damage caused by laser pen burn to her right eye, leading to poor vision, an unsightly spot/shadow in the center of her visual field, eye fatigue and other symptoms. Due to medical therapy’s potential side effects she was unwilling to undergo it; we suggested acupuncture therapy as a solution instead and she saw improvement after just one week of therapy; even her macular area improved from 0.25 to 1.0 on optical coherence tomography report!
Chinese medicine sees the eyes and optic nerve as inextricably interlinked; therefore, acupuncture can help balance and enhance energy flows around them, as well as promote blood circulation throughout the head and neck – essential factors when it comes to feeding your eyes and relieving eye strain.
Acupuncture has been shown to increase blood circulation, decrease eye inflammation and swelling, stimulate regeneration of optic nerve cells and treat chronic eye conditions like glaucoma more effectively than traditional treatments such as Chinese herbs, supplements and eye exercises alone. Recent trials have also supported its effectiveness for improving and maintaining eye health; some critics have even raised concern over these studies’ lack of controls, masking mechanisms or other features required for evidence-based assessments.
2. Acupressure
Acupressure uses pressure instead of needles to stimulate specific points (called acupoints) on the body in order to promote healing, with over 365 acupressure points located throughout your body and 200 of them specifically on ears.
Acupressure works on the concept that our bodies contain an intricate network of meridians that carry energy throughout. If these channels become blocked due to congestion or otherwise become stuck in its tracks, acupressure can help clear them so our body’s natural energy called Qi can flow more freely again.
There are numerous effective acupuncture points that support eye health. Jingming (UB-1) — which translates to “bright eyes” — is located in the inner corner of your eye and acts as one of the primary points to bring Qi and blood into the eyes for all kinds of eye issues such as early stage cataracts, glaucoma, night blindness and conjunctivitis. Furthermore, it serves as the crossing point between five channels: UB, LI, ST HT and yang qiao.
Other eye-healthy acupressure points include LI 4/He Gu, which should be applied on the outer corner of your eyebrow, for congestion and allergies; and SI 23/Qiuxian in the hollow below your eyebrow to treat redness, pain, swelling in supraorbital area as well as eyelid twitching. A licensed acupuncturist can demonstrate these points for patients; many acupressure techniques can easily be performed at home using guides from books or videos online.
Acupressure can be an effective and gentle form of healing, and can provide many people who are experiencing symptoms relief with its use. Before trying any new therapies during your cancer journey – traditional or alternative – it is wise to check in with your oncologist first – particularly if taking medications or have chronic health conditions which might be compromised by these therapies.
3. Massage
Similar to acupuncture, regular massage can also help alleviate eye strain by stimulating certain acupressure points believed to improve circulation and reduce stress around the eyes. Massage may even relieve twitching caused by computer use as well as headaches associated with it.
Massage also promotes restful sleep and enhances skin elasticity, as well as being used to treat depression and anxiety caused by muscle tension and poor circulation. Massage was once perceived as the domain of wealthy individuals or used for illegal activities – now however it’s widely offered at spas and health clubs alike! To get the most benefit out of massage it is wise to speak with the massage therapist first before beginning, particularly if taking prescribed medication or have medical conditions such as arthritis.
If you suffer from itchy, watery or red eyes, the acupressure point ‘Bambu Gathering’ could offer relief. Located under each eye’s outer corner and easily stimulated, this point can alleviate eye pain as well as watery or itchy eyes as well as tension headaches or mild migraines.
Another acupressure point to explore is ‘Chrysanthemum Clear Vision’ (Ju Hua), located beneath the eyebrows and directly in line with each pupil. Massaging this point may help reduce redness or swelling in your eyes as well as relieve tension headaches or assist in treating eye infections. Boiled chrysanthemum flowers may even help improve vision while alleviating any related ocular conditions – though please remember acupressure cannot treat diseases like glaucoma directly.
4. Meditation
Meditation techniques vary. Some involve concentrating on an object or mantra, while others can involve mindfulness and awareness of mental events. Meditation has numerous health benefits beyond stress reduction: it promotes greater peace of mind, increases self-concept, as well as helping improve eyesight function.
Meditation has many eye-health advantages due to its effect on circulation, increasing oxygen and nutrients to the eyes. Studies have revealed that during meditation sessions the heart rate slows, blood vessels dilate and circulation increases resulting in benefits to eye health.
Some individuals may find certain meditation techniques more useful in improving eye health than others; the best way to identify which techniques work is to try them all and select one that speaks to you.
If you don’t have much time for meditation, simple exercises can still benefit both your eye health and overall wellness. Deep breathing and visualisation techniques may help ease eye strain; additionally, experts suggest drinking eight-ten glasses of water each day and refraining from smoking or rubbing your eyes to reduce dry eye syndrome risk.
Staring into a candle flame is another useful eye-focused exercise. According to ancient texts like Gheranda Samhita and Chakrasamrutam, staring into its flame is believed to improve vision as it purifies the drishti – or space between eyebrows – which plays a crucial role in eye health and is associated with the yin meridian.
5. Energy Exercises
Your eyes are an indicator of overall health. Many diseases manifest themselves through eye problems, while vision issues may reveal systemic problems affecting your entire body. Acupuncture, energy medicine techniques and eating healthily may help restore proper functioning to your eyes.
Energy Medicine for the Eyes can dramatically enhance visual clarity and decrease frequency of eye and vision problems. Try including these energy exercises into your daily life:
Commence by massaging your eyebrows using the knuckles of your first fingers to gently and smoothly massage them, to activate Qi and increase energy circulation to your eyes, which helps alleviate eye fatigue while increasing vitality.
Step two is to place your hands over your face with the palms facing towards your eyes and activate the energy pathways directly surrounding them, envisioning them growing brighter until they expand into a ball of light before sinking it down into your belly, concentrating it there.
