Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye and inner eyelids). It can be caused by infections, allergies, or irritants and can spread easily. Homeopathy provides effective relief by treating the root cause and boosting the body’s natural healing mechanism.

Causes of Conjunctivitis:

• Viral infections (most common, highly contagious)

• Bacterial infections (can cause thick, yellow discharge)

• Allergic reactions (dust, pollen, pet dander)

• Chemical or irritant exposure (smoke, chlorine, pollution)

• Autoimmune conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)

Symptoms of Conjunctivitis:

• Redness and swelling in the white part of the eye

• Itching and burning sensation

• Excessive tearing or watery discharge

• Thick mucus or pus-like discharge (in bacterial cases)

• Gritty feeling or discomfort in the eye

• Blurred vision or sensitivity to light

Homeopathic Remedies for Conjunctivitis:

• Euphrasia Officinalis – Best for watery, burning, and irritated eyes, with sensitivity to light
