Ask most people what is most important to them, and they’ll respond with ‘my health’. And with good reason – being healthy has a dramatic impact on your life in too many ways to mention. However, there are some health issues that are often only thought of when a problem occurs. While plenty of people focus on things like their weight, high blood pressure, and more, what about your vision?
Loss of vision can have a dramatically negative impact on your life, and it’s important to take steps to prevent vision loss before it occurs. If you begin to notice a problem you will want to look into it immediately before it has time to worsen.
One of the most common causes of vision loss is glaucoma, and it can quickly lead to a permanent loss of vision if it’s not attended to quickly. Luckily, there are plenty of interventions that can control the issue. Some of these steps are entirely natural, letting those who are coping with vision loss to manage the issue more effectively and without side effects or large expenses.
The first thing you need to know is what glaucoma is. Then, you can begin taking the correct steps to manage it. Glaucoma is the second most common cause of blindness in the country. It’s caused by a buildup of fluid around the eye that leads to increased pressure on the lens and retina which damages the optic nerve. The optic nerve transmits the images and sends them to the brain.
Symptoms of glaucoma can include:
Be sure to visit your medical professional in case you have any of the above symptoms. There are several different types of glaucoma, making it all the more important to speak to a medical expert to identify which type you might have.
Treating glaucoma mainly focuses on reducing that buildup of fluid and reducing the pressure that forms in the eye. And while it’s very important to talk to your doctor about the different steps needed to treat the condition, there are also some natural steps you can take to help for a faster recovery.
Along with options your doctor provides, taking the time to make natural changes to your lifestyle could have a big impact on preventing the worsening of glaucoma. Here are some of the best ways to go about naturally preventing this type of vision loss.
Another option that many swear by is the use of essential oils to combat glaucoma. The idea is simple – certain essential oils can help to promote better circulation and thus lower blood pressure and improve the health of the eyes and the body in general.
Obviously, you can’t apply the oils directly to the eyes. Instead, mix 5 drops of an essential oil with one tablespoon of coconut or almond oil and then apply to the cheeks, just underneath the eyes.
Another great way to get essential oils into the body and moving through the bloodstream is to use a Nebulizing Diffuser®. A nebulizer is very effective in releasing pure essential oils into the air without diluting them with water or damaging their therapeutic properties with heat. It is best to use a glass diffuser that reduces the amount of toxins that are released into the air.
Combined with the right treatment from your medical professional and healthy lifestyle changes, essential oils could be the key to preventing vision loss and helping to manage glaucoma.
