Working with Dusty Miller
Part(s) Used
Leaf Juice
Herb Forms
Tincture.
This plant, which was once held in high regard, is seldomly used today. The sterilized or freshly-squeezed juice of cineraria has been used for cataracts and conjunctivitis (pink eye) to expedite healing.
A few drops of the juice were placed into the eye several times daily. This caused a slight burning effect which quickly disappeared.
Cautions
Avoid large doses.
