Let me introduce to you the folk remedies for treating myopia in ancient times. I hope it can help you. Ancient folk remedies for treating myopia
The poets Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Wanli, Huang Tingjian and Lu You of the Song Dynasty who we are familiar with are all patients with severe eye diseases.
Poor old Mr. Bai studied too hard when he was a child, so he lived with eye diseases for the rest of his life. The miserable Mr. Bai devoted his life to writing the poem "Dark Eyes":
In my early years, I was tired of reading books, but in my later years, I was sad and cried a lot.
If you don’t know what is wrong with your eyes, you will bring it on yourself. How can you enlighten your desires after you have become ill?
At dusk at night, it seems that the lamp is about to go out, and in the dark, you still wonder if the mirror has not been polished.
Thousands of medicines and prescriptions cannot cure it, so we should close our eyes and practice Toutu!
This poem expresses his thoughts and feelings of regretting studying hard at the beginning. The eye disease is so painful, but I only wish that from now on Be a monk with your eyes closed. Studying hard requires paying a painful price. Mr. Bai hopes that everyone will follow his example.
Hey, something seems wrong, I didn’t say anything. =. =
The method of curing myopia created by the ancients
Well, myopia has become short-sighted. Let’s see if there is any way to alleviate it. The ancients made extensive efforts on this point. Exploration, but no effect? ??
"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Put a pot of Acorus on a table and read it at night, and the smoke will be harmless to the eyes." ?Calamus was known as the "Four Elegant Flowers and Grasses" in ancient times, not only because of its high ornamental value, but mainly because of its ability to absorb harmful black smoke. It is roughly equivalent to the succulents placed next to the computer, and the practical effect depends on your own.
Some people also start directly from lamp oil and replace ordinary vegetable oil with oil squeezed from wolfberry seeds. Zhao Hao's "Sickness Care" of the Song Dynasty records: "Squeezing oil from wolfberry seeds and lighting a lamp to read books can improve eyesight." . ?
The method suitable for people of all ages is external washing. Volume 7 of "Su Chen Liang Prescription", "Cure Various Eye Diseases", records an external method of washing eyes: Fill the container with hot soup, copper The best utensil to use is to use your hands to press your eyes. Close your eyes tightly and don't open them. Don't rub your eyes with your hands. Just use your hands to warm the soup and let it cool down. If there is an illness, it can be done three or four times a day. If there is no illness, it can be done twice a day. It will make the eyes clear. This is the best treatment for red eyes and itchy eyelids. ?
The method is to get a pot of hot water and sprinkle it around the closed eyes with both hands. According to records, Su Shi himself suffered from eye pain due to overwork in writing. Washing the eyes can restore sight to dim eyes, so that small characters can be read. ?
It’s hard to say whether it has any effect. At least from the point of view of hygiene, it is good.
The remaining method is to take traditional Chinese medicine, which is combined with dietary supplements. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that many drugs have the effect of improving eyesight and aiding reading, such as turnip flower, which is mainly used to treat dark eyes due to fatigue, and long-term use can help people study at night. ?It is suitable for treating blindness, drying the spleen and removing dampness?.
Various medical classics also record many prescriptions for treating eye diseases, such as Shenqu Pills with magnets and cinnabar; prepared with Rehmannia glutinosa, Coptis chinensis, Cassia seed, myrrh, chrysanthemum, windfeng, Qianghuo, and cinnamon. Dihuang pills made from Morinda officinalis, Roucongrong, Schisandra chinensis, Gou Sizi, and chrysanthemum; and Yeguang pills with too many ingredients. The small pills have been specially used to treat eye diseases for two thousand years. Folk prescriptions for treating myopia
