Background and Use
Eyebright has been used traditionally, since the middle Ages, for the support of eye fatigue and vision. According to old text of the "Old Doctrine of Signatures," the purple and yellow spots and stripes of eyebright resemble bloodshot eyes, which was an early indicator of the plant's intended herbal use.
Documented cases of Bilberry show its use back in the 12th and again in the 18th century. Bilberry fruit has also been traditionally used as a traditional remedy in the prevention of scurvy, due to its vitamin C content. The modern use of Bilberry for eye health originates from World War II. British Royal Air Force pilots reported that the ingestion of Bilberry jam just prior to missions seemed to improve their vision.
Precautions
Do not take if pregnant or nursing. Discontinue if unusual symptoms occur. Do not exceed recommended dose unless under the guidance of a health care professional. Keep out of reach of children.
