Dear Patients and Friends,

 

I'll be out of the office next week (12 - 17).  I still have some slots for this week. Please check out  aikiacupuncture.janeapp.com  or contact me directly.

 

Stye in the Eye?   (where else would it be ;-) )

 

I seem to have gotten one last night and so it occurs to me to tell you my go to first line of treatment. A moist green, mint, or chrysanthemum tea bag. Not too hot. Room temperature fine. Putting this simple compress on several times a day is often the only treatment you need. Of course it is always a good idea to see your primary or ophthalmologist if it doesn't go away quickly or if you have any history of eye issues or are at high risk for them.

 

With a lingering problem or very itchy eyes I'll of course add in an herbal formula.

 

Keep enjoying the summer...
