Do You Have Arthritis Of The Eye?

How many of you reading this e-newsletter do it wearing glasses? 

And how many of you who wear glasses, have developed the need for them as you have gotten older? 

I ask those 2 questions to get your attention, because if you did say YES to any of them, there is a great opportunity for you to improve your eye-sight without the need for glasses, contact lenses or laser eye surgery.  It's totally natural and certainly more cost effective then laser surgery, or the long-term cost of glasses or contacts.

Consider that the eyes are the windows to the Soul, and the consciousness of the Soul is represented in the Wood Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  This element consists of the Liver and the Gallbladder which becomes most active in the Spring.  This will be important to appreciate later in this article.  An example of the relationship that you might already understand is when a person suffers with the condition of jaundice, where there is a backing up of bile from the Liver into the bloodstream, it causes the whites of the eyes to turn yellow. 

In my previous newsletter on the Liver, I wrote about the relationship that exists between the Liver and the muscles, joints and tendons of the body, and how the liver regulates these areas.  Any inflammation of the joints is an indication that the Liver is overstressed with toxins, and that the body is storing the excess toxins in the areas of the muscles, joints and tendons.  Inflammation and irritation of the joints over time, whether it is from auto-immune sources, metabolic sources or simply excess wear and tear from the aging process, Rheumatoid type, Gout type or Degenerative type respectively, are all different classifications of Arthritis.  And all of it has to do with how the Liver, your chief planner, is dealing with how life is showing up to you, and how you react to it. 

How Does This Effect The Eyes? 

If one has difficulty seeing the things in their life that are particularly hard to look at, the Liver will store the effects of that stress in the eyes.  Over time, assuming the stress in your life and the way you "deal" with it stays the same, the lens of the eye will become inflexible and rigid, and will have difficulty accommodating to all the different things one sees.  This rigidity of the lens leads to one needing glasses.  For those who don't want to see the things that are closest to them, because they don't want to deal with them will develop a need to wear glasses for near vision.  And for those who have trouble seeing the big picture, or things far away, will develop a need for glasses for far vision. 

So What Can Be Done?

There are a few ways to help someone who is suffering from "Arthritis" of the Eyes.  Most importantly is to make sure the Liver is free of stress and toxins. We do this at the office by evaluating the Liver and its function from an Emotional, Toxic, Nutritional, Allergic, Physiological, or Structural point of view.  If your Liver has any of these imbalances, we will then cross-reference to the eyes specifically to see if the imbalance is effecting the eyes.  If it is, we will recommend the appropriate solution and start you on the road to better vision.  It's that simple.

What's The Benefit To You?

Being able to see clearly and not having to depend on searching for two different pairs of glasses all the time would be an obvious benefit anyone could "see."  Being able to go to your eye doctor and having them decrease your glasses prescription is also an empowering feeling and one I enjoy hearing about form practice members who have called to tell me their eye glass prescription was made less.  Imagine if you could have that experience.  I say why imagine it, why not truly experience it.
