This may be used for a wide range of eye disorders associated with excess Humors affecting the Head and Eyes. Excess Humors will gradually obstruct the fine vessels at the back of the eyes, causing congestion, and eventually failing of the sight. Therefore, in cases with Plethora, those who eat too much, or who drink excessively, this may be used. Some will advise taking it once daily for a week, or it may be taken once weekly on an extended basis.
