As the common name, Eyebright, suggests,
Euphrasia is a phytotherapeutic remedy traditionally used for maintaining
the health of the eyes.
Euphrasia contains a number of important
constituents which include tannins.
The tannins are astringents which help
to dry up secretions and have the ability to relieve inflammatory conditions
of the mucous membranes.
Euphrasia has been widely used in Europe
since the 17th Century. Milton, in his poem Paradise Lost, described
how the Archangel Michael administered 'Euphrasy' to clear the film
from Adam's eyes to restore his sight.
Mrs M Grieve, in 'A Modern Herbal'
wrote "The name Euphrasia is of Greek origin, derived from Euphrosyne
(gladness), the name of one of the three graces who was distinguished
for her joy and mirth, and it is thought to have been given the plant
from the valuable properties attributed to it as an eye medicine preserving
eyesight and so bringing gladness into the life of the sufferer." She
continues "In the fourteenth century, it was supposed to cure 'all evils
of the eye' and is described as the source of 'a precious water to clear
a man's sight.'"
