Euphrasia Officinalis
Euphrasia officinalis
The leading eye remedy for conjunctivitis and eye infections. Marked by profuse, burning, acrid tears that irritate the cheeks, with bland, non-irritating nasal discharge — the reverse picture of Allium Cepa. Eyes feel gritty, sore, and sensitive to light.
Key indications
- Pinkeye (conjunctivitis) with red, inflamed, watery eyes
- Burning, acrid tears that irritate the lids and cheeks
- Gritty, sandy sensation in the eyes with frequent blinking
- Sticky mucus on the eyes, worse in the morning
- Sensitive to light and open air

30C every 2–4 hours during acute eye infection; taper as redness and discharge ease.
General guidance only. 200ck may be substituted for 200C potencies. Stop the remedy upon significant improvement. If no improvement after 2-3 doses in acute cases or after 4-6 weeks in chronic cases, try a different remedy. Consult a experienced practitioner if you feel you need additional help for serious or persistent symptoms.
