Heritage Essential Oils
Kelly asks: Do you know of an essential oil to use for MACULAR DEGENERATION? My mother in law has it bad, and it's dry in one eye and wet in the other. If there is one, how do you apply it? Any information you have on this is appreciated.

Hi Kelly,
I have a couple of blends that address vision.
Vision Blend - formulated with essential oils noted to help with vision issues, diluted and applied around the bony part of the eye.
Vision Regen - formulated by an MD for a patient for "nerve regeneration, optic nerve, circulation and vision in the retina." Not diluted and applied on the bony part of the eye.

The Essential Oil Desk Reference says that the best prevention is foods rich in antioxidants and carotenoids. The Ningxia wolfberry is the highest known antioxidant food and is also extremely high in lutein, which is vital for preserving eye health. Other good rich in carotenoids that are also powerful antioxidants include blueberries and spinach.
For DRY macular degeneration, LEMON essential oil may be helpful as a dietary supplement. [In other words, she could add a few drops of Lemon essential oil to glasses of water or put drops into a capsule for her to swallow.]
Blends of oils that may help: ENDURANCE (take in an 00 capsule once a day) This is an anti-oxidant blend.
Vitamin C
LAVENDER essential oil: Rub a drop of Lavender over the bridge of the nose 2 times daily - this has been reported to work in some cases.
