Natural Solution for Dry Eyes

Keeping the eye moist is essential for good eye health. Tears bathe the eye, washing out dust and debris. They also contain enzymes that neutralize the microorganisms that populate the eye. In dry eye syndrome, the eye either doesn't produce enough tears, or the tears it produces have a chemical composition that causes them to evaporate too quickly.

Causes of Dry Eyes

There are several causes of dry eyes. It can be “normal” degeneration from aging, a process which is accelerated if you still eat cooked food. As with any degenerative condition, eating raw foods and a lot of greens in particular will help. Dryness is also a side effect of laser corrective surgery, many medications, such as antidepressants, certain blood pressure medicines, and even birth control pills. It is a serious condition and must be addressed. I am not a doctor, so these causes of dry eyes are not my territory.

👁️ Water-Based Propolis Drops for Eye Health

Water-based propolis is rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, and natural compounds that help:

• Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the eyes
• Protect against bacteria and minor infections
• Soothe dry, irritated, or tired eyes
• Support tissue repair and eye clarity

Unlike alcohol-based extracts, the water form is gentle and safe for daily use, even directly in or around the eyes. Research shows it may help with conditions like dry eye, puffiness, redness, and early signs of eye aging.

🧪 Example Studies:

• A 2014 study in Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics highlighted propolis' potential in reducing oxidative damage in ocular tissues.

• Research published in Molecules (2020) confirmed water-soluble propolis extracts retained bioactive antioxidant compounds without the irritation associated with alcohol-based tinctures.
