Dandelion is a Chinese medicine included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, which is good for the eyes.
The reason why dandelion is good for the eyes is that this medicine is cold in nature with a sweet and bitter taste, and can enter the liver meridian. It has strong effects of clearing heat and removing toxins, eliminating swelling and dispersing knots, and is effective in improving the redness, redness and swelling of the eyes caused by inflammation of the liver fire, as well as dryness and astringency of the eyes and loss of eyesight. In relieving eye discomfort, the juice of dandelion can be used alone to dot the eyes, or the medicine can be decocted separately for internal use.
In addition, dandelion can also be combined with other herbs such as honeysuckle (clearing heat and removing toxins), Xia Kucao (clearing heat and removing toxins, brightening eyes and reducing swelling), and Scutellaria baicalensis (clearing heat and removing toxins, clearing heat and drying dampness), etc., to alleviate eye discomfort. Dandelion is cold in nature and excessive consumption may cause slow diarrhea, so it is not recommended for private use and should be guided by a professional Chinese medicine doctor.
