Restoring Vision
The adage you never know how important something is until you lose it is never more true than when dealing with our eyesight. It is the sensory organ we rely on more than any other. This can be very concerning when changes in our vision start to happen. Our aim is to halt any degeneration and in some cases reverse damage that has already occurred.
Conditions that involve the eyes are almost always part of a larger condition . The eyes exist within the ecosystem of the body and therefore what effects the body effects the eyes. Chronic inflammation, dryness, blood pressure issues, blood sugar, water metabolism etc. will all have an effect on our vision. Treating the whole body as well as the eye is necessary to see long lasting resolution.
