Healthy circulation and visual health
Think
of the eye as a camera. A camera needs a clean lens and a film to produce
an image. In the same way, the eyeball needs a lens (cornea, crystalline
lens, vitreous) to refract, or focus the light and a film (retina) on which to
focus the rays. If any one or more of these components is not functioning
correctly, the result is a poor picture. Similarly, if inter-ocular pressure is
too great, or circulation is poor, the image is affected.
Capillaries
bring oxygen rich blood to the optic nerve and the eyeball (like the batteries
in your digital camera!) The retina represents the film in our camera. It
captures the image and sends it to the brain to be developed. The macula is the
highly sensitive area of the retina and is responsible for our critical
focusing vision. It is the part of the retina most used while reading or
staring at an object.
There
are many home remedies for healthy eyes. Simple ways to naturally
support and maintain visual health include:
- Eye hygiene is
essential and it is a good idea to keep contact lenses in sterile fluid
when not in use.
- Always wear
sunglasses when the outside glare is too bright, and refrain from watching
television in poorly lit areas.
- Never read in
darkened rooms.
- Eye products
should not be shared and cosmetics such as eyeliners, mascaras and eye
pencils should be thrown away when they are past their expiry date.
Natural
and home remedies for healthy eyes have been used in
traditional medicine for thousands of years to support good circulation and the
sensory system, helping to encourage
healthy and efficient visual health. There are now many
published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of natural remedies to support the eye
and its surrounding structures.
Home
remedies for healthy eyes most popularly feature organic teas
to soothe allergies and cucumber and potato slices to relieve puffiness. In
more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. Eye supplements typically
include good for the eye
vitamins such as Vitamin C, E, B2, and the minerals Zinc and
Selenium. New eye
supplements are now including Lutein. It is recomended that
smokers avoid eye supplements that include beta carotene. Studies have shown a
link between smokers and the popular eye
vitamin-beta-carotene and certain diseases.
What is Vizu-All Plus?
Vizu-All Plus is a 100% safe, non-addictive natural herbal
remedy formulated by our team of natural health experts. Vizu-All Plus can be
used consistently to safely support
visual health and encourage circulation to the eyes while
promoting overall systemic and immune system health.
Vizu-All Plus supports the healthy functioning of the eye, thereby helping to
maintain routine visual health both day and night, as well as encouraging blood
flow to the optical nerve and surrounding tissues. Vizu-All Plus can make all
the difference, without compromising health and without serious side effects.
The ingredients in Vizu-All Plus have been selected for
their ability to help
support circulatory and tissue health, particularly of the feet
and hands, while encouraging the maintenance of healthy blood flow to the brain
to prevent age-related absent-mindedness and to support healthy levels of
oxygen and nutrients to the brain.
The formula remains true to the whole spectrum method of herbal
extraction, ensuring the bio-availability and balance of all the active
ingredients contained in the remedy. This method of manufacture also significantly
reduces the likelihood of side effects and maintains all active ingredients in
perfect balance – exactly as nature intended!
Vizu-All Plus Ingredients
Vizu-All Plus is a 100% herbal formula which contains the
following carefully selected herbs in therapeutic dosage:
- Vaccinium
Myrtillus (also known as billberry)is the principal ingredient in Vizu-All
Plus. Use of Bilberry dates back to World War II, when pilots in Britain's
Royal Air Force reported that a good dose of bilberry jam just before a
mission improved their night vision, often dramatically! After the war,
medical researchers investigated the constituents of bilberry and found a
group of active chemicals called anthocyanosides. These naturally
occurring antioxidants appear to have numerous potentially important
actions within the eye. (Cluzel C, Bastide P, Wegman R, et al. “Enzymatic
activities of retina and anthocyanoside extracts of Vaccinium myrtillus”
(lactate dehydrogenase, alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase,
6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase,
alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, 5-nucleotidase, phosphoglucose
isomerase [translated from French]. Biochem Pharmacol. 1970;19:2295–2302).
By supporting routine strength of the tiny blood vessels of the eye,
bilberry also helps to facilitate delivery of essential oxygen and
nutrients to the eye and has been the subject of numerous research
studies related to ocular health. Studies have also suggested that certain
eye symptoms, normally associated with the natural aging process can be
effectively managed using bilberry. (G. Bravetti, "Preventive
Medical Treatment of Senile Cataract with Vitamin E and Anthocyanosides:
Clinical Evaluation," Ann Ottalmol Clin Ocul 115 (1989): 109). In
addition, Vaccinium myrtillus has been shown to be of great benefit with
regards to supporting eye health when particular underlying conditions are
present. (Perossini, M. et al. 1987. “Diabetic and hypertensive
retinopathy therapy with Vacciniuum myrtillus anthocyanosides”
(Tegens): Double blind placebo controlled clinical trial. Ann Ottalmol
Clin Ocul 113:1173).
- Aspalathus
Linearis (Rooibos) is found only on the slopes of the Cedarberg mountains
in the Western Cape of South Africa and has been used as a natural
medicine for thousands of years by the indigenous people of that area. It
is used as an all round supportive tonic, to help support digestive
health, encourage healthy liver functioning and promote healthy blood
sugar levels. Like bilberry, Rooibos also has powerful anti-oxidant
properties, mainly due to its supeoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetic
properties. SOD is an enzyme in the body that is especially designed to
neutralize unstable oxygen molecules (free radicals) as soon as they occur
and systemic SOD can therefore help to promote visual health. (Kim, S. Y.,
J. S. Kwak, J. P. Shin and S. H. Lee (1998). "The protection of
the retina from ischemic injury by the free radical scavenger EGb 761 and
zinc in the cat retina." Ophthalmologica 212(4): 268-74). Due to
its high mineral content, (Vitamin C, Alphahydroxy Acid, potassium,
copper, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and fluoride) Rooibos
can promote healthy metabolism, bones, skin and teeth. These minerals have
been shown to have great benefit with regards to eye health. ("A
randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial of high-dose
supplementation with vitamins C and E, beta carotene, and zinc for age-
related macular degeneration and vision loss: AREDS report no. 8."
Arch Ophthalmol 119(10): 1417-36). These minerals can also be beneficial
in encouraging healthy blood sugar levels, supporting routine blood
pressure and as a promotional tonic for the immune system.
- Sutherlandia
Frutescens (also traditionally called Kanker Bossie or Cancer Bush) was
originally used by the indigenous Khoi and San peoples of Southern Africa
and is indigenous to this region. Research has shown that Sutherlandia
contains the active ingredients canavanine, pinitol, and the amino acid
GABA. Pinitol is a well-known anti-diabetic agent (Narayanan et al,
1987). Recent research has confirmed the adaptogenic properties of
Sutherlandia as well as its anti-oxidant effects (Swaffer et al. 1995,
Crooks and Rosenthal, 1994, Ostlund and Sherman, 1996).
CAUTION
Safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not yet been
established.
Vizu-All Plus can be used with other
medications. No adverse interactions have been noted between
the ingredients in Vizu-All Plus and other prescription medications. However,
as with any medicine, it is always advisable to consult your doctor before
making any changes or additions to your medical program, especially if you are
already using prescription medicines.
