Current Style: Standard
I have recently started consulting with Alan Tillotson, R.H., Ph.D., at the CHRYSALIS NATURAL MEDICINE CLINIC. I'm impressed with his knowledge of Ayurvedic and Chinese herbs (as well as Western herbs). I had a one hour consultation with Alan yesterday and I will definitely be following up with him. (Later in this post, I will share something he has written on glaucoma.)
I was asking about glaucoma and Ayurveda on a newsgroup recently. I explained that glaucoma is no longer viewed simply as an eye disease defined by increased intraocular pressure.
Sinus conditions affect one's eye pressure. This is particularly important for glaucoma patients. Nasal blockage can have a strong effect on eye pressure and there are subtle effects as well. In addition, I speculate that the nose may offer an effective way for glaucoma patients to improve the long-term health of their optic nerve. The nose can be the doorway to the optic nerve as well as being intimately connected with eye pressure. In this blog post I'll touch on both areas.
Hi Folks,
I am still mulling over the information you posted previously on vitamin C, Dave. [EDIT: see comment below for a recap.]
This has to be one of the most unexpected questions that has come out of collecting all this IOP data: is there a connection between oral care and IOP?
In other words, can brushing your teeth lower your IOP?
