The benefits of using saffron to improve the eyesight.
1. Poor eyesight is a common problem nowadays, and the solution is usually to wear eyeglasses to improve vision. However there are certain herbs and spices which can naturally improve the vision, and prevent the eyes from deteriorating.
2. Saffron is an exotic spice which comes from the crocus sativus flower. This is often used in cooking to add flavour and has also been used for hundreds of years as a natural medicine.
3. Scientific studies have shown that taking saffron every day increases visual acuity, helping you to see things clearer and sharper. This works for both close up objects and those far away.
4. Macular degeneration is also on the rise in older people, due to poor diets and visual stress. Saffron taken long term can reduce the risk of this happening because of the powerful carotenoids which it contains.
5. Light sensitivity is also a problem which affects many people, therefore needing to use sunglasses more often. Taking saffron daily will help the eyes to adjust to light more easily.
6. In order for this to work, it is recommended to take 20mg of saffron per day. It is important to purchase a high quality organic saffron for the best effects.
7. You can add this to a cup of boiling water and make herbal tea. This often has a medicine like taste, often described as metallic honey with a grassy flavour. Be sure to add a little raw honey if you would like to improve the flavour.
8. You can also get this in capsule form if you prefer, as this makes it easier to take daily. This will protect against vision loss over the course of the human life.
9. For further vision improvement, we also recommend lutein, alpha-carotene, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin. These are also excellent supplements which work alongside saffron.
10. Maintaining a balanced diet, with plenty of foods rich in Vitamin A such as Kale, eggs and carrots will help your eyes to produce healthy tears, protecting them from infections such as conjunctivitis.
