Since the measurement of eye pressure, the excess of which is a symptom or cause of glaucoma, is a modern day invention, there is no mention or word for glaucoma in historical Chinese medical literature. However, modern day practitioners of Chinese medicine have defined the cause of this fluid pressure in the theoretical logic of Chinese medicine. Though circumstances may vary according to the age and condition of the glaucoma sufferer, the most prevalent cause of glaucoma is excess damp (fluid) forced upward in the body by rising heat (energy). A common source of this heat is a deficiency of Yin, causing and upward rising of Liver Yang. Treatment of glaucoma usually consists of draining excess fluids, subduing the rising heat, and tonifying the underlying deficiencies if they are present. If anger or emotional excess is the cause of the rising heat, these issues must also be addressed.
Though we offer the Chinese medicines used to treat glaucoma, we strongly suggest that you seek professional help for this condition rather than attempt self-treatment. Failure to check glaucoma can result in blindness. Modern medicines can be extremely effective in this treatment. See an ophthalmologist.
