FIX ‘winter eyes’ by addressing this HIDDEN culprit

This time of year, EVERYTHING on your body feels dry.

And when winter starts to set in… your eyes in particular can become irritating and uncomfortable.

If you’re over 50, you’re already in the crosshairs for dry eyes – whether you’re an older guy OR gal.

Decreased tear production is a natural part of aging.

But what you may not know is that if dry eyes become CHRONIC… they can set you up for more serious problems in the future.

I’m talking allergies… infections… blurred vision… and even DAMAGE.

Add to that a little too much “screen time”… and you may NEVER experience any relief!

Not unless you REVERSE this little-known culprit behind dry eyes.

A Chinese eye guardian

I’m talking about androgens – the so-called “male” sex hormones that are actually found in both men AND women.

Women don’t have very high levels of them to begin with…

But after menopause, their androgen levels get even LOWER.

Groundbreaking science has discovered that androgens support the health of your eyes through the healthy function of your tear ducts (a.k.a. lacrimal glands).

These sex hormones ALSO promote the health of your eye’s “oil ducts” – a.k.a. meibomian glands – which lubricate your eyes and help keep your tears from evaporating.

But don’t worry, you may not have to embark on hormone replacement therapy in order to HYDRATE your eyes and SAVE your vision.

Because there are compounds found in certain plants that can address PLUMMETING hormone levels.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, for instance, has relied on the dried flower buds of the “butterfly bush” (Buddleja officinalis) to treat eye problems for THOUSANDS of years.

Known as “Mi Meng Hua” in TCM — or simply “buddleja” in the West – it’s native to Central and Southwest China.

It’s known THROUGHOUT Asia as the “eye guardian.”

As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, it’s considered cooling… and it “clears heat.”

And that can be a relief to your red, irritated eyes!

But there’s more…

In a study out of China published earlier this year, 8 weeks of buddleja treatment improved conditions of moderate-to-severe dry eye, as experienced by postmenopausal women.

And in an animal study also published earlier this year, Chinese researchers found that buddleja treatment improved the structure of the lacrimal gland in androgen-deprived rabbits.

Researchers credit the plants rich flavonoid content for its ability to REPAIR and RESTORE dry eyes.

The theory is that flavonoids may act on androgen imbalances in both men and women.

There’s no question that buddleja can TURN THE TABLES on many of the hallmarks of dry eye, including:

• excessive tearing/watery eyes
• chronic or recurring conjunctivitis
• sensitivity to light (a.k.a. photophobia), and
• blurred vision.

Sometimes spelled “buddleia” (but pronounced the same, “buddle-ya”), you kind find it in eyedrop or powdered form.

A Chinese herbalist can point you in the right direction.
