Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, the delicate mucous membranes lining the eyelids. This condition is sometimes called "pink-eye."
Treatment Plan for Conjunctivitis
The herbal program should consist of immune stimulants and anti-inflammatories for the mucous membranes. Before using as an eyewash, golden seal infusions should be strained carefully through double layers of cheesecloth.
