Natural remedy for itchy hayfever eyes
The homeopathic remedy euphrasia (made from a plant commonly known as eyebright) is a fabulous all-rounder for any eye problems, from hay fever to eye strain to conjunctivitis. Take tablets, or a few drops of tincture neat or in water are the homeopathic equivalent of Optrex, says The Hub’s homeopath Sue Leach.

Euphrasia is a top remedy (although by no means the only one) for hayfever eye symptoms especially if you have hot, acrid streaming from the eyes and a runny nose where that discharge is non-corrosive. [The other way round, with corrosive nose discharge and a bland flow from the eyes, and you need allium cepa]
Here are some of the many symptoms for which the homeopathic remedy euphrasia is of benefit:
- Styes
- Conjunctivitis
- Allergic eyes
- Thick, acrid, yellow discharge from the eyes
- Puffy, swollen eyes
- Blisters on the cornea
- Iritis (inflammation of the iris)
- Photophobia
- Eyes watery all the time
- Painful eyes
- Ptosis (drooping upper eyelid)
For hayfever I recommend you take the tablets (up to six daily) to reduce eye inflammation and soreness, plus use the tincture to soothe symptoms. Soak a cotton pad in the liquid and lie back and think of low pollen counts!
