General rules for eye treatment

The methods of treating the eye are the opposite of diseases of the eye, and since the disease comes from a nature with matter or from a simple nature, or from a disease of a combination of particles, or is caused by a violation of continuity, then the treatment should consist of either emptying - this includes the treatment of tumors - or changing nature, or in correcting the appearance, as with bulging eyes, or in healing and building up meat.

Matter is removed from the eye in two ways: either by distraction from it, or by removal from it. Distraction is carried out first in the whole body, if it is full, then from the brain with those means for cleansing the brain that you already know, then distraction from the eye follows through the nose and the vessels located near the eye, for example, through both inner corners of the eye. The removal of matter from the eye is carried out

using tear agents. As for changing your nature, this can also be accomplished with the help of special medications. Discontinuity that occurs in the eye is eliminated by drugs that dry, but do not burn strongly or at all. You will learn about these medicines from our discussion about eye inflammation and other diseases.

You should know that when there is an eye disease from matter, you need to prescribe a decrease in nutrition, give what generates praiseworthy juice, and avoid what forms steam and is difficult to digest. If any of the members sends matter, then try to make bloodletting from this member. And if the matter comes from the outer shell of the brain, then place blood-sucking cups and apply restraining agents on the forehead; These remedies include melon peel if the matter is hot, and white vitriol if it is cold. The vessels from which blood bleeds in case of eye diseases include mullet, as well as veins passing in various areas of the head; those located in front help best if matter is desired to be moved; those located behind are of great benefit if they wish to attract matter.

Know that the matter that is formed in the eye itself and which needs to be diverted to another organ is most correctly diverted into the nose and precisely when it is not on the way of pouring into the eye. This movement occurs only through the use of sneezing and nasal remedies, which we have already mentioned elsewhere when talking about measures against headaches.

Among the eye medicines there are those that change the nature. Some have a cooling effect, such as the squeezed juice of nightshade and shepherd's crook, chicory juice, lettuce juice, rose water, squeezed rose juice and plantain mucus. Others warm, such as: musk, pepper, calamus, great celandine and the like. Others are dried, such as tutia, antimony luster, gold or silver kalimiyya. Some knit, like, say, an ointment from horned poppy gum, aloe, lycia, saffron and rose. Some soften, such as milk, ground almonds, egg whites and plant mucilage. Some promote ripening, for example, celandine, a decoction of fenugreek, saffron, grape juice boiled until thick, especially the one in which bread was dipped. Other medicines dissolve, for example, prickly tree gum and anise infusion. Some are painkillers, such as mandrake juice, poppy juice and opium.

Know that if you have a headache with eye diseases, then you need to start by treating the headache, without starting to treat the eye, until it is eliminated. If emptying, cleansing and appropriate treatment do not help, then know that then the eye has a cold nature or there is bad matter in its membranes that spoils the nutrition brought there; or there is weakness of the brain or other organ from which the juices are directed to the eye. Remember this.
