What is Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis)?
Eyebright is an herb that may act as a natural "antihistimine".
A "histimine" is a chemical that our immune system cells can release during an allergic reaction. So an "antihistimine" is something that works to counter these allergic reactions.
Eyebright helps ease allergic symptoms associated with hay fever, dust, pollen, and foods that can cause congestion. These symptoms can include respiratory congestion, sinus troubles, eye irritation and allergenic ear congestion.
This herb has a long history of use in European folk medicine. Like its name suggests, it used to be used for many different eye troubles.
In the middle-ages, Eyebright was believed to treat eyes because its white flowers had "bloodshot" petals, similar to an allergic eye. It has traditionally been used as an eye wash, as well as a tea.
In North America, Eyebright has become popular as a natural way to help with inflammation of the eyes.
Allergic reactions are terribly uncomfortable, and when you're having one you want it gone right away! Eyebright has been used for hundreds of years to help with this... and now it's available in a convenient (and potent) extract for you to try.

Comments about NaturalWellbeing Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis):
I took it as recommended on the website or anytime I felt a really bad allergic reaction coming on. I have two dogs and tree that flows a pretty steady flow of pollen all over the yard in the summer days, so my allergies can become get pretty harsh with congested nose, sneezing, and itchy eyes!! After the first day or two of taking it as directed, I started noticing it did help to relieve most of the itchy eyes, sneezing and congested nose shortly after I took it, but it usually never lasted more than an hour or two in the environment I was in. It helped in the short-term and as I only have seasonal allergies that happen a few weeks out of the year I've only had to use it once so far.
