Eyebright's action is considered anti-catarrhal, astringent, and anti-inflammatory. Eyebright is an excellent remedy for many of the problems of the mucous membranes. The combination of anti-inflammatory and astringent properties make it relevant in many such conditions.
Used internally, it is a powerful anti-catarrhal, and thus may be used in nasal catarrh, sinusitis and other congestive states, such as hay fever, acute coryza, irritable sneezing and lachrymation. Internally, it also helps maintain good vision and eye health by supporting the liver among other organs in such a way as to cleanse the blood supply to the eyes.
Eyebright is best known for its use in conditions of the eye, where it is helpful in acute or chronic inflammations, stinging and weeping eyes as well as over-sensitivity to light. Priest & Priest tell us that it is specific for congestive conditions of the eyes with profuse lachrymation. They give the following specific indications: Catarrhal blepharitis, rhinitis, sinusitis and conjunctivitis. Externally, an eyewash made from Eyebright and other herbs can be soothing to irritated, inflamed eyes.
In catarrhal conditions, Eyebright combines well with Golden Rod, Elder Flower, or Golden Seal. In allergic conditions where the eyes are effected, it may be combined with Ephedra. As an eye lotion, it mixes with Golden Seal and distilled Witch Hazel.
