Red eye is one of the most frequently seen complaints in primary care practice and may be an early indicator of serious diseases that require immediate referral.

Symptoms of this condition include watery eyes, light sensitivity and blurred vision. Furthermore, symptoms include itching and feeling something is in your eye.

1. Bilberry

Bilberry contains powerful antioxidants to maintain healthy eyes and relieve eye strain. When combined with carotenoid antioxidants Lutein and Zeaxanthin, Bilberry helps shield sensitive eye tissues against free radical damage.

Bilberry has long been used in Western herbal medicine to enhance vision. A relative of blueberries, it contains flavonoids known as anthocyanosides which speed up regeneration of rhodopsin for night vision and reduce glare; furthermore it helps improve visual acuity by filtering out harmful high-energy blue light which could damage retinas. This formula also contains lutein and zeaxanthin which help keep eyes healthy by filtering harmful wavelengths out.

Blackmores Bilberry Eye Support Advanced contains an advanced formula derived from Arctic wild bilberries to relieve eye strain, promote healthy blood vessels and protect free radical damage. Furthermore, its rich in antioxidants to provide protection from free radical damage while encouraging blood circulation around the eye.

This natural supplement works to nourish the eyes and ease eye fatigue by reducing inflammation. Furthermore, it filters out high-energy blue wavelengths of light that cause oxidative stress on retina. Therefore, this product can provide extra help with eye health for anyone who spends considerable time staring at screens.

Bilberry in this product comes from Blackmores factory in Tasmania and is HPLC authenticated to guarantee quality. It contains bilberry extract with high levels of anthocyanosides known to promote eye health by supporting blood vessel health. Furthermore, this formula contains natural carotenoid antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin that may provide additional protection from high energy blue light on retina health.

2. Flos Chrysanthemi

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has become an increasingly popular way of treating or preventing various health ailments, but due to the numerous chemical components it contains it poses an immense quality control challenge.

Chromatographic fingerprints provide invaluable information about the quality of herbs. However, fingerprints can often become distorted due to baseline drift and peak shift caused by cultivar differences, which can be remedied using iterative reweighting methods and correlation optimized warping that improve prediction accuracy.

This study conducted an in-depth examination of four Floris Chrysanthemi cultivars to compare and distinguish their chromatographic fingerprints for quality control purposes. Results indicated that 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid, chlorogenic acid and linarin were effective markers in identifying characteristics of Flos Chrysanthemi. This approach can provide an efficient means of screening characteristic chemical markers to assess quality evaluation of TCMs. Additionally, this approach could also be applied to TCMs with complex chemical compositions, in order to enhance overall quality and ensure their safety. Findings of this study indicate that Flos Chrysanthemi could potentially help correct insulin metabolism disorders in metabolic diseases, and its pharmacological effects in an intensive high sucrose diet-induced model of metabolic disease could possibly be explained by its inhibition of insulin signaling pathways.

3. Semen Cassiae

Cassia seed (chai in Chinese herbal medicine) is an indispensable element of Chinese herbal medicine, serving to clear liver heat while brightening eyes, relieving constipation and protecting stomach. Cassia seeds have long been used as an effective medicine against dry eyes, blurred vision and glaucoma; furthermore they may help lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels and the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cassia seeds are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fatty acids and amino acids that have long been utilized as traditional medical treatments in China. Cassia has long been combined with other herbs like Flos Chrysanthemi, Fructus Crataegi Folium Mori and Fructus Lycii to treat various conditions. Drinking semen-cassiae solid beverage may improve vision while drinking semen-cassiae tea may lower blood pressure, lower lipid levels, treat constipation or prevent cardiovascular disease.

Cassia seeds contain not only anthraquinone compounds but also fatty acid compounds, coumarins, glycosides and polysaccharides in addition to anthraquinones – these components have been reported as contributing to its hepatoprotective, improving eyesight and antidiabetic complications medicinal benefits.

Cassia seed extract has been demonstrated to offer significant hepatoprotective benefits through numerous studies. Chen Jianshuang et al. [27] employed HPLC to analyze anthraquinone glycoside fingerprints of Cassia seed anthraquinone dispersible tablets prepared with suitable excipients using AST and ALT efficacy indicators and grey relational analysis; their findings also demonstrated their hepatoprotective potential.

Cassia sesame oil contains numerous fatty acid compounds such as linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and arachidic acid – among others. Additionally it also contains hexadecane to triacontane as well as small amounts of campesterol, malvalic acid and sterculic acid.

Cassia seed oil has been shown to possess significant antihypertensive activity, primarily by upregulating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. Furthermore, this extract boasts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a promising candidate for treating hypertension.
