Bilberry & Eyebright

 

This blend combines two of the most widely used herbs for improving eyesight and aiding overall eye health . Bilberry is the world's most famous herb for supporting healthy vision. World War II fighter pilots are said to have been given Bilberry jam prior to flying in low-light conditions. A natural pigment in Bilberry contains potent, eye-friendly antioxidants called anthocyanidins. They protect delicate eye tissues while other nutrients nourish the parts of your eye necessary for clear vision & light adjustment.  As the name suggests, Eyebright is great for the eyes. It's an antioxidant herb that fights free-radical damage, especially in the eyes. Since the Middle Ages, Eyebright has been a popular herbal eyewash. In Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost," the archangel Michael uses Eyebright to restore the health of Adam's eyes. Eyebright contains bitters, essential oils, several B vitamins, and Vitamins A, C, D, and E.

Bilberry is a perennial shrub native to Northern Europe, Northern America, and Canada. Bilberry is also known by the names Blueberry, Whortleberry, Black Whortles, Hurtleberry, Trackleberry, Dyeberry, Whinberry, Huckleberry, and Grouseberry. The Bilberry plant produces a fruit similar to the American blueberry, but containing higher quantities of constituents useful for visual acuity and night blindness. The genus name Vaccinium is from an ancient Latin name for the plant derived from "vaca", meaning "cow", as that animal enjoyed eating the plant in countryside fields. Bilberry Fruit was frequently taken during World War II by British pilots to enhance their night vision before flights. Today, Bilberry is being is used as an antioxidant, and is beneficial in the strengthening of red blood cells & capillaries around the eyes. By supplying added oxygen to the blood, Bilberry benefits all capillaries in the body to improve circulation to the hands and feet. Bilberry is rich in fatty acids, bioflavonoids, iron, zinc, and phosphorus. It also contains loeanolic and ursolic acids, magnesium, selenium, and trace amounts of sodium & calcium.  The fruits are astringent, and are especially valuable in the botanical support of diarrhea and dysentery, typically in the form of syrup. A decoction of the leaves, or bark of the root, may be used as a local application to ulcers, and in ulceration of the mouth and throat. Best when taken over time, Bilberry assimilates its unique nutritional properties by strengthening the immune system. It is also useful for relieving stress, inflammation, and anxiety. Bilberry is also beneficial as a urinary track antiseptic, as well as a daily dietary supplement.

 

 

Eyebright somewhat resembles a bloodshot eye, which may have been part of what led ancient peoples to value this plant for eye problems. An old French term for Eyebright was casse-lunettes, which means "break your glasses". The genus name, Euphrasia , is derived from the Greek Euphrosyne, who was one of the goddesses of the Three Fates, and whose name means "gladness". This refers to the gladness one felt when his/her vision was improved from using this herb. Eyebright was used primarily in the Middle Ages as a tonic because of its astringent properties. However, today Eyebright is used more frequently for relieving eye problems such as eye strain, pink eye and inflamed, irritated and sore eyes. Eyebright is high in iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and tannins. The plant has astringent properties that probably account for its usefulness as a topical treatment for inflammatory states and its ability to reduce mucous drainage. Eyebright's antibiotic and astringent properties tighten membranes and mucus surrounding the eyes, effectively strengthening and improving circulation. Rich in vitamins A and C, Eyebright also contains tannins that are beneficial for reducing inflammation. Astringent properties found in Eyebright make it ideal for relieving excess mucus and infectious conditions generally associated with sinusitis allergies, colds and upper respiratory problems. Eyebright has recently been used for cleansing and purifying the blood, therefore stimulating healthy liver functions.
