Hey folks, it’s Dr. Sam and I’m on my morning walk. I received the question Are there any natural remedies to treat glaucoma?
And a recent study done in the UK, researchers gave patients with glaucoma curcumin, and they found that this actually slowed down some of the retinal damage created from glaucoma. And we know curcumin is an ingredient found in Tumeric, the yellow spice that we use in curries. Some of the benefits of Tumeric include lots of antioxidants and it also has anti-inflammatory properties. One of the cool things about this study is they’re trying to create an eyedropper where they’re going to put curcumin in it.
And that’s going to be a great delivery system for improving retinal health. So stay tuned. That’s my message for today.
Take good care and until next time,
