New research shows that buckthorn oil may help relieve symptoms of dry eye syndrome. A shrub native to Europe and Asia, sea buckthorn produces berries rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants.
For the study, researchers recruited 100 adults with symptoms of dry eye syndrome, a condition that occurs when the eyes don't produce enough to tears to stay properly lubricated. For three months, participants took two grams of sea buckthorn oil or a placebo each day. By the study's end, those who'd taken sea buckthorn oil showed a reduction in several dry eye symptoms (including redness and burning).
Past research suggests that increasing intake of essential fatty acids (including eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid) may help ease dry eye symptoms. Available in supplement form, docosahexaenoic acid is abundant in oily fish like salmon and mackerel. Also available in supplement form, eicosapentaenoic acid occurs naturally in flaxseed oil.
that’s my annoying problem, thanks, nice post
Nice compilation, I have learned new medicines…I only used “eye-mo” from phyzer company when I got an eye problem.
