Wood Betony

Description

Valued for discomfort of the head and face; useful for cramped blood vessels to reestablish circulation; useful for cataracts and glaucoma; useful for vision problems due to sinus congestion

In ancient Greece, the common expression was sell your coat and buy Betony. Wood Betony has the property of opening cramped or spastic blood vessels and thereby reestablishing circulation such as with cataracts or glaucoma.

Rub Wood Betony from the side of the nose over the upper cheek, up onto the temples on both sides of the face. May use 10-20 drops on each side 3-4 times per day. Do both sides of the face, even if the trouble is with one eye. The eyes are sympathetic, if one cries, they both cry. Here a discussion of eyes, and eyesight in general, is in order. In the main, vision, or seeing, is mainly a matter of seeing what we like to or what makes an impression on us. Look at things you do like calmly; admiringly to gain improvement of your vision.

If blood vessels to the eyes are plugged with fat or cholesterol, use a digestaid such as Gentian, internally; externally, from the nose to the temples. If blood vessels to the eyes are plugged with waste mineral deposits, may use Dulse for the thyroid [the thyroid controls calcium levels in the blood], 40 drops 3 times per day continually,; apply either of the two herbs, Gravel Root or Stone Root from the nose to the temples.

If scar tissue blocks the blood vessels to the eyes, rub on Chickweed or V.V.H.-W. If you wish to strengthen the muscles that focus or hold the eyeballs straight or move the eyes, may apply Vitamin E from 100 unit capsules. Vitamin E from a natural source strengthens muscles; is oxygenating for the breath of life, as are many of the herbs.

If vision problems still persist due to sinus congestion; pressures on the eyes, may apply Bayberry or SI-W, and let the mucus drain. For night vision concerns, 40-80 drops, per meal, of Dandelion Leaves and/or rub Vitamins A&D from the sides of the nose; up onto the temples. Often Purple Loosestrife is useful for sight. Rub this on externally 3 times per day as well. Useful for depression, headaches, mental sharpness and brain coordination. A bowel program is essential to eye improvement.

Remove bowel wastes more frequently so they do not get reabsorbed and move up to escape through the sinuses by using them as emergency exits. Take internally, 40 drops of Bayberry or SI.-W for sinuses. If you have to regenerate eye structures also apply, externally and liberally, the combination repair formula Ol ‘#11. For shock near the eyes, apply 5 drops of Arnica to side of the nose, across the upper cheek; onto the temple, 4 times per day.

Suggested use 
40 drops of Wood Betony internally, 3 times per day, and as given above.
