Iritis Remedies

Long ago when I was suffering from frequent iritis attacks I found that Rutin worked quite well at controlling the eye inflammation. It took about 300mg twice a day to bring down inflammation, but sometimes I might go as high as 600mg twice a day.

A bit about Rutin:

• Don't use whilst pregnant. It is adrenalin sparing, and too much could conceivably bring on labour.
• Rutin is a plant extract, an antioxidant, and a flavanoid (comparable to quercetin found in tea)
• It may well be synergistic, and beneficial, to take vitamin C with this (or eat fruits containing this)
• Stop taking if you have a chest infection, just as a precaution. I was suspicious of some form of immune suppression, but I could very well be wrong.

My worst symptom with iritis is how scared I get (that I'm going to lose my eyesight) But in a calmer state of mind I am following a supportive regime, which seems to be helping, though it's early days yet.

My treatment for iritis:

• homeopathic preparations
• Oculoheel drops and tablets.
• kalmia injeel S
• Mercurius corrosivus 30, then 6 repeated
• along with constitutional treatment (personal remedy)
• bilberries: as berries and as tea infusion; Bilberry extract; bilberry tablets
• visual eyes compound: contains lutein
• liver and kidney cleanse
• chi gong (Qigong) exercises for liver and kidney
• oxygen drops
• goldenseal and echinacea drops
• Fo ti drops

Hope this might help someone else out there!!

Hi Sheila, Thank you for sharing. I was actually thinking of trying ayahuasca to help with my uveitis, but do you think it is possible it would make it worse?

Hi what liver cleanse did u do?

Very good information on iritis. I would like to add that I was told by my opthomologist that my iritis can be a symptom/side effect of having a gene HLA-B27, which I do. It can cause these people to have nightshade problems.

I would like to know how you take the turmeric. Are you cooking w it or taking it w a spoon? how much do you take at a time? thx

Could you relay what sort of allergy pills you took to help relive iritis? I am wondering if even an over the counter allergy med would help.

I was starting to have what felt like a Iritis flareup and I read this. I took a dose of liquid Benedryl and within a half hour my eye started to feel quite a bit better. Less pain and irritation. I am also going to try eliminating sugar and starches. I will keep you posted on my progress, and will probably get checked to be sure it's Iritis.

Hi Deb, I would say that you have a mold sensitivity. The mold in the shed is sensitising your immune system.. a lot of these modern diseases of seemingly mysterious origin are caused by pathogenic fungi living in our body.

Hi Claudia, I feel like you. it is depressing. I started about when you did to get it. I have recently added turmeric hoping it will help. Hope you are doing ok

Hi. Iritus is driving me insane. I take amitriptline each night, which has stopped my sciatica (the possible cause of inflammation) but still iritus keeps popping its ugly head back up. Can I ask what allergy tablets u take?

Yes this did help me too. I did find that one of my triggers was dairy mixed with sucrose, otherwise known as sugar... Actually I think other fats may also have been an issue when combined with sucrose. These days I just avoid dairy (except yogurt and butter) and swap sucrose for honey or fructose. Has been a long time since I have had an Iritis attack as these dietary changes have helped a lot (I also follow the No Starch Diet too by the way)

I would like to know how much turmeric you are taking a day and what brand? thx

How long did it take you to work?
