Traditional Uses: Traditionally used since ancient Greek times for inflammatory eye conditions (conjunctivitis, blepharitis, eye strain), as well as for respiratory ailments (coughs, sinusitis, and sore throats) and digestive complaints.
Potential Benefits: May help relieve mild eye inflammation and irritation due to its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties; emerging research suggests potential neuroprotective and antimicrobial effects, though clinical evidence remains limited.
Warnings: Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding; non-sterile home-prepared eye preparations pose infection risks—use only commercially prepared sterile ophthalmic products; may cause nausea, constipation, or respiratory irritation when taken internally.
