Detoxification through Foot Patch

Lately I ‘m experience severe tiredness although there is not much to do in a day. I tried many things to at least reduce the tiredness but fail, until I accidentally go through this information online, detoxification, via foot patch. So I went to tried it, now almost 2 weeks. I feel much better. I had a sound sleeps, no insomnia, and I feel fresh every morning, which I never experience before, especially on Monday morning, LOL. Why foot patch? What didn't I tried pills or detoxify tea? Well, I did but because I can’t afford to visit the rest room 4-5 times a day, or maybe more than that, I quit. These pills and detoxify tea has made me suffered, so enough of that. We will try the safest method, the foot patch; at least that is what I though am the safest without suffering myself.

 

So what is detoxification via foot patch? How does it begin? According to Chinese medical knowledge, our human body has over 360 acupuncture points, with more than 60 acupuncture points found on the sole of the foot alone. Our feet, also known as the "second heart", are the reflective zones of our internal organs, a potential home for toxins and a potent avenue to accelerate body detoxification through, avoiding the healing crisis effect of other rapid detoxification methods. As the blood circulates to the soles of our feet the powerful ingredients of the Detoxification Foot Patches unleash and accelerate the release of toxins through those acupuncture points. The patch is attached to the skin via an adhesive sheet. After only one night of body detoxification, there may be significant changes (depending on your state of wellness or homeostasis) to the smell and color of the Detoxification Foot Patches.

 

Depending on what the foot patches are absorbing they will range in color from black or dark brown to different shades of green and gray with possible spots of red and will feel a bit slushy (evidence of the toxins and excess moisture being released) after 8 to 12 hours of use.

 

The Detox Foot Patch also helps to revitalize the body, enhance blood circulation, strengthen the immune system, improve your quality of sleep and promote better health (homeostasis) and longevity.

By placing the Body Detox Foot Patches on the soles of your feet before bedtime they unleash the accumulated gunk and toxins from your body during sleep. The Foor Patche also helps to increase your energy levels by getting rid of the toxins that build up over time in the body.

With over 30 nights of continuous usage, there may be a visible reduction in the color and odor of the Body Detox Foot Patches after use. The Detox Foot Patches helps the body to achieve its optimum state of wellness (homeostasis), by supporting improved blood circulation, increased metabolism, activate red blood cells, enhanced quality of sleep, and the absorption of expelled or unwanted bodily fluids and toxins.

So how does this works? Basically, the Detox Foot Patch provides a "One-Two Punch" as it gives you an unparalleled detoxification and cleansing experience.

First, it contains Tourmaline which is a mineral found in Brazil. Tourmaline possesses a unique property of emitting far infrared rays, which generate negative ions. Negative ions are said to have a soothing, therapeutic effect on your body, which explains why people feel so relaxed after a rainstorm or being next to a waterfall. The foot has over a dozen acupressure meridian points for various vital organs, all of which can be stimulated by the negative ions. This improves circulation and detoxification activity in your body and at the same time helps you get a deep, relaxing sleep.

Second, The Detox Foot Patch contains a wood vinegar essence. Chinese villagers have known for thousands of years that the sap from Oak, Beech, and Sakura trees make a potent topical salve for treating infections and irritations. The highly processed formulation of these ingredients is applied directly to the skin, where toxins are released right through your skin.

The Detox Foot Patch may be applied to many parts of the body but you will receive the most dramatic results by applying them to the soles of your feet. Why? According to Chinese medical knowledge, our body has over 60 reflexology meridian points on the soles of the foot. Known as the "second heart", they are the reflective zones of our major internal organs. And, because gravity and your body's own natural defense system move toxins away from vital organs, your feet become a "storage pit" for these heavy metals and toxins. The true test is to try them for you. Before going to bed, simply apply the patches to the soles of your feet using adhesive tape (included). In the morning when you peel off the patches, you'll see all the toxins that were extracted from your body.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body by regulating the immune system. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, lymphatic fluid builds up and stagnates causing the entire system to become toxic.

The Detox Foot Patch helps extract lymphatic fluid from the body and assists in clearing blockages, eliminates metabolic wastes and toxins from the body, transports nutrients to cells, and increases metabolic efficiency. All of this helps your body reduce excess fluid and lose weight. It also has a calming effect on the nervous system and helps relieve stress and tension. Frequent use of the Detox Foot Patch can leave your skin feeling cleaner, and reduce that feeling of puffiness in your face. It helps rejuvenate collagen fibers and slow the aging process.

So after using Detox Foot Patch, what do you feel? The Detox Foot Patch unleashes toxins from your body as you sleep. The Detox Foot Patch helps to revitalize the body, enhance blood circulation, strengthen the immune system, improve quality of sleep, and promote better health and longevity.

Detox Foot Patches can be attached to other parts of the body to help eliminate pain and swelling, and to improve overall health. For knee problems, place patches on the back of the knee. For eye problems, place on the back of the ears or on the temple, but not on the eye. For those interested in a deeper cleanse, the Detox Foot Patch can be placed on the back, on either side of the spine along the waistline and over the kidneys for the most effective treatment.

Why so many people intereted in using Detox Foot Patch in detoxifying themselves rather that other method? This includes me. There are a number of reasons why individuals find comfort and relief via the use of detox foot patches and why they favor using a method of this kind. The first reason why individuals wish to procure body detoxification by using detox foot patch methods is so that they may obtain overall body cleansing. Overall body cleansing will enable the individual to achieve a variety of things such as restfulness, less stress and greater overall health for many individuals. These reasons alone are a large part of why individuals feel that achieving body detoxification by using detox foot patches is a marvelous thing to do.

Convenience is another reason why individuals choose to obtain body detoxification by using detox foot patch avenues to achieve this result. Due to the fact that body detoxification by using detox foot patch methods can be achieved while one is sleeping, there is no need to worry about wearing the patch during the daytime when one is working or doing other activities. These wonderful patches work while one is peacefully sleeping.

Body detoxification by using detox foot patches is also a non-messy way to achieve total body cleansing as there are no liquids or ointments to apply to the patch. Simply stick the detox patch to the bottom of the foot and go to sleep. The detox foot patch will work its wonders while the individual sleeps through the nighttime.

Another reason why individuals are looking into body detoxification by using detox foot patch methods is due to the reasonable and affordable cost at which these items can be purchased. Very often one can procure a detox foot patch treatment method for around $20 to $25 per box. This is quite reasonable when one thinks of what they are getting for the price which is a more relaxed and cleansed body.

Body detoxification by using detox foot patch is also gaining popularity because it is a non-invasive procedure used to cleanse one's body. Although there are other body cleansing methods which are advertised these days, body detoxification by using detox foot patch methods is done on a strictly external basis. This is quite appealing to many individuals who wish to have a treatment of this type administered.

Another reason why individuals are starting to persue options relating to body detoxification by using detox foot patch methods is because it is a new and inventive treatment regimen. The appearance of a new treatment method on the general market is a very attractive thing to consumers. Body detoxification by using detox foot patch avenues is a new treatment method in certain parts of the world, although it has been used in Asia for many years, which is impressing individuals near and far.

In summation, body detoxification by using detox foot patch methods is a wonderful way to experience an overall cleansing of the body. Its natural ingredients and carefree application method provide consumers with an option for body cleansing treatments which is non-invasive and quite affordable. For these reasons, looking into body detoxification by using detox foot patch treatment methods may be the perfect way to result in a better, more revived you. If this sounds like something which may be the perfect method to try, then it is definitely worth looking into a bit further.

So dear, what are you waiting for? Come on and join us detoxifying yourself for your own benefit.

An eyes damaged named Glaucoma

Yesterday my mum text me saying that my little brother was at home. It is such a weird since my brother is not that kind of type that used to be at home if he has an off day. So I decided calling my hometown just to know what had happened. Gossiping actually. 

A week ago, my brother had a severe eyes-aches that he insist my parents to take him to our hometown. He become so grumble since my father refuse to do so as they didn't know how to fetch him. Finally they managed to get him home with the help of my cousins. And yes, he was in severe aches, no wonder he become so grumble. He can't even open his eyes. The eyes was so swollen. It took him over 2 weeks to recover back. Alhamdulillah.

Unfortunately, my mum said, he is now suffering glaucoma effect from the eyes aches. Huh....Poor my little brother. Although we used to quarrel, he is still my brother and I feel really bad hearing this news. My mum said that glaucoma is a severe eyes aches that would bring damage to the eyes eventually. My brother now has to use spectacles 24/7 due to this sickness. He said that his right eye didn't match with the left eyes. Without glasses, he can't barely see things. I'm really sad to hear about this. Since I don't know about glaucoma and cannot do anything about that, I started to Google on it. Well, the following are what I found about the disease:

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a disease where fluid pressure inside the eye increases causing irreversible damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision. It is often, but not always, associated with increased pressure of the fluid in the eye.^[1]

The nerve damage involves loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern. There are many different sub-types of glaucoma but they can all be considered a type of optic neuropathy. Raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma (above 21 mmHg or 2.8 kPa). One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressure for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness.

Glaucoma can be divided roughly into two main categories, "open angle" and "closed angle" glaucoma. Closed angle glaucoma can appear suddenly and is often painful; visual loss can progress quickly but the discomfort often leads patients to seek medical attention before permanent damage occurs. Open angle, chronic glaucoma tends to progress at a slower rate and the patient may not notice that they have lost vision until the disease has progressed significantly.

Glaucoma has been nicknamed the "silent thief of sight" because the loss of vision normally occurs gradually over a long period of time and is often only recognized when the disease is quite advanced. Once lost, this damaged visual field cannot be recovered. Worldwide, it is the second leading cause of blindness.^[2] It is also the first leading cause of blindness among African Americans.^[3] Glaucoma affects 1 in 200 people aged fifty and younger, and 1 in 10 over the age of eighty. If the condition is detected early enough it is possible to arrest the development or slow the progression with medical and surgical means.

Cause and Factors

There are several causes for glaucoma. Those at risk are advised to have a dilated eye examination at least once a year.^[17]

Ocular hypertension (increased pressure within the eye) is the largest risk factor in most glaucomas, but in some populations only 50% of patients with primary open angle glaucoma actually have elevated ocular pressure.^[18]

Those of African descent are three times more likely to develop primary open angle glaucoma.

Elder people have thinner corneal thickness and often suffer from hypermetropia. They are also at higher risk for primary open angle glaucoma.

People with a family history of glaucoma have about six percent chance of developing glaucoma.

Many East Asian groups are prone to developing angle closure glaucoma due to their shallower anterior chamber depth, with the majority of cases of glaucoma in this population consisting of some form of angle closure.^[19] Inuit also have a twenty to forty times higher risk than Caucasians of developing primary angle closure glaucoma. Women are three times more likely than men to develop acute angle-closure glaucoma due to their shallower anterior chambers.

Other factors can cause glaucoma, known as "secondary glaucomas," including prolonged use of steroids (steroid-induced glaucoma); conditions that severely restrict blood flow to the eye, such as severe diabetic retinopathy and central retinal vein occlusion (neovascular glaucoma); ocular trauma (angle recession glaucoma); and uveitis (uveitic glaucoma).

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) has been found to be associated with mutations in genesat several loci.^[20] Normal tension glaucoma, which comprises one third of POAG, is associated with genetic mutations.^[21]

There is increasing evidence that ocular blood flow is involved in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. Current data indicate that fluctuations in blood flow are more harmful in glaucomatous optic neuropathy than steady reductions. Unstable blood pressure and dips are linked to optic nerve head damage and correlate with visual field deterioration.

A number of studies also suggest a possible correlation between hypertension and the development of glaucoma. In normal tension glaucoma, nocturnal hypotension may play a significant role.

There is no clear evidence that vitamin deficiencies cause glaucoma in humans. It follows then that oral vitamin supplementation is not a recommended treatment for glaucoma.^[22]

Various rare congenital/genetic eye malformations are associated with glaucoma. Occasionally, failure of the normal third trimester gestational atrophy of the hyaloid canal and the tunica vasculosa lentis is associated with other anomalies. Angle closure induced ocular hypertension and glaucomatous optic neuropathy may also occur with these anomalies.^[23][24][25] and modelled in mice.^[26]

Diagnosis

Screening for glaucoma is usually performed as part of a standard eye examination performed by ophthalmologists, orthoptists and optometrists. Testing for glaucoma should include measurements of the intraocular pressure via tonometry, changes in size or shape of the eye, anterior chamber angle examination or gonioscopy, and examination of the optic nerve to look for any visible damage to it, or change in the cup-to-disc ratio and also rim appearance and vascular change. A formal visual field test should be performed. The retinal nerve fiber layer can be assessed with imaging techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), scanning laser polarimetry (GDx), and/or scanning laser ophthalmoscopy also known as Heidelberg Retina Tomography (HRT3).^[27][28] Owing to the sensitivity of all methods of tonometry to corneal thickness, methods such as Goldmann tonometry should be augmented with pachymetry to measure central corneal thickness (CCT). A thicker-than-average cornea can result in a pressure reading higher than the 'true' pressure, whereas a thinner-than-average cornea can produce a pressure reading lower than the 'true' pressure. Because pressure measurement error can be caused by more than just CCT (i.e., corneal hydration, elastic properties, etc.), it is impossible to 'adjust' pressure measurements based only on CCT measurements. TheFrequency Doubling Illusion can also be used to detect glaucoma with the use of a Frequency Doubling Technology (FDT) perimeter.^[29]Examination for glaucoma also could be assessed with more attention given to sex, race, history of drug use, refraction, inheritance and family history.^[27

 

Management

The modern goals of glaucoma management are to avoid glaucomatous damage, nerve damage, preserve visual field and total quality of life for patients with minimal side effects.^[30][31] This requires appropriate diagnostic techniques and follow up examinations and judicious selection of treatments for the individual patient. Although intraocular pressure is only one of the major risk factors for glaucoma, lowering it via various pharmaceuticals and/or surgical techniques is currently the mainstay of glaucoma treatment. Vascular flow and neurodegenerative theories of glaucomatous optic neuropathy have prompted studies on various neuroprotective therapeutic strategies including nutritional compounds some of which may be regarded by clinicians as safe for use now, while others are on trial.

The possible neuroprotective effects of various topical and systemic medications are also being investigated.^{[22][34][35][36]}

§                     Prostaglandin analogs like latanoprost (Xalatan), bimatoprost (Lumigan) and travoprost (Travatan) increase uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. Bimatoprost also increases trabecular outflow

§          Topical beta-adrenergic receptor antagonists such as timolol, levobunolol (Betagan), and betaxolol decrease aqueous humor production by the ciliary body.

§           Alpha2-adrenergic agonists such as brimonidine (Alphagan) work by a dual mechanism, decreasing aqueous production and increasing trabecular outflow.

§         Less-selective sympathomimetics such as epinephrine decrease aqueous humor production through vasoconstriction of ciliary body blood vessels.

§          Miotic agents (parasympathomimetics) like pilocarpine work by contraction of the ciliary muscle, tightening the trabecular meshwork and allowing increased outflow of the aqueous humour. Ecothiopate is used in chronic glaucoma.

§          Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors like dorzolamide (Trusopt), brinzolamide (Azopt), acetazolamide (Diamox) lower secretion of aqueous humor by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary body.

§          Physostigmine is also used to treat glaucoma and delayed gastric emptying.

Surgery

Both laser and conventional surgeries are performed to treat glaucoma.

Surgery is the primary therapy for those with congenital glaucoma.^[37]

Generally, these operations are a temporary solution, as there is not yet a cure for glaucoma.

Canaloplasty

Canaloplasty is a nonpenetrating procedure utilizing microcatheter technology. To perform a canaloplasty, an incision is made into the eye to gain access to Schlemm's canal in a similar fashion to a viscocanalostomy. A microcatheter will circumnavigate the canal around the iris, enlarging the main drainage channel and its smaller collector channels through the injection of a sterile, gel-like material called viscoelastic. The catheter is then removed and a suture is placed within the canal and tightened. By opening the canal, the pressure inside the eye may be relieved, although the reason is unclear since the canal (of Schlemm) does not have any significant fluid resistance in glaucoma or healthy eyes. Long-term results are not available.^[38][39]

Laser surgery

Laser trabeculoplasty may be used to treat open angle glaucoma. It is a temporary solution, not a cure. A 50 μm argon laser spot is aimed at the trabecular meshwork to stimulate opening of the mesh to allow more outflow of aqueous fluid. Usually, half of the angle is treated at a time. Traditional laser trabeculoplasty utilizes a thermal argon laser. The procedure is called Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty or ALT. A newer type of laser trabeculoplasty exists that uses a "cold" (non-thermal) laser to stimulate drainage in the trabecular meshwork. This newer procedure which uses a 532 nm frequency-doubled, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser which selectively targets melanin pigment in the trabecular meshwork cells, called Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty or SLT. Studies show that SLT is as effective as ALT at lowering eye pressure. In addition, SLT may be repeated three to four times, whereas ALT can usually be repeated only once.

Nd:YAG laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) may be used in patients susceptible to or affected by angle closure glaucoma or pigment dispersion syndrome. During laser iridotomy, laser energy is used to make a small full-thickness opening in the iris. This opening equalizes the pressure between the front and back of the iris correcting any abnormal bulging of the iris. In people with narrow angles, this can uncover the trabecular meshwork. In some cases of intermittent or short-term angle closure this may lower the eye pressure. Laser iridotomy reduces the risk of developing an attack of acute angle closure. In most cases it also reduces the risk of developing chronic angle closure or of adhesions of the iris to the trabecular meshwork.

Diode laser cycloablation lowers IOP by reducing aqueous secretion by destroying secretory ciliary epithelium.^[27]

Trabeculectomy

The most common conventional surgery performed for glaucoma is the trabeculectomy. Here, a partial thickness flap is made in the scleral wall of the eye, and a window opening made under the flap to remove a portion of the trabecular meshwork. The scleral flap is then sutured loosely back in place. This allows fluid to flow out of the eye through this opening, resulting in lowered intraocular pressure and the formation of a bleb or fluid bubble on the surface of the eye. Scarring can occur around or over the flap opening, causing it to become less effective or lose effectiveness altogether.

Glaucoma drainage implants

There are also several different glaucoma drainage implants. These include the original Molteno implant (1966), the Baerveldt tube shunt, or the valved implants, such as the Ahmed glaucoma valve implant or the ExPress Mini Shunt and the later generation pressure ridge Molteno implants. These are indicated for glaucoma patients not responding to maximal medical therapy, with previous failed guarded filtering surgery (trabeculectomy). The flow tube is inserted into the anterior chamber of the eye and the plate is implanted underneath the conjunctiva to allow flow of aqueous fluid out of the eye into a chamber called a bleb.

§                     The first-generation Molteno and other non-valved implants sometimes require the ligation of the tube until the bleb formed is mildly fibrosed and water-tight^[40] This is done to reduce postoperative hypotony—sudden drops in postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP).

§                     Valved implants such as the Ahmed glaucoma valve attempt to control postoperative hypotony by using a mechanical valve.

The ongoing scarring over the conjunctival dissipation segment of the shunt may become too thick for the aqueous humor to filter through. This may require preventive measures using anti-fibrotic medication like 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or mitomycin-C (during the procedure), or additional surgery. And for Glaucomatous painful Blind Eye and some cases of Glaucoma, Cyclocryotherapy for ciliary body ablation could be considered to be performed.^[27]

Veterinary implant

TR BioSurgical has commercialized a new implant specifically for veterinary medicine, called TR-ClarifEYE. The implant consists of a new biomaterial, the STAR BioMaterial, which consists of silicone with a very precise homogenous pore size, a property which reduces fibrosis and improves tissue integration. The implant contains no valves and is placed completely within the eye without sutures. To date, it has demonstrated long term success (> 1yr) in a pilot study in medically refractory dogs with advanced glaucoma ^[41]

 

Laser assisted non-penetrating deep sclerectomy

The most common surgical approach currently used for the treatment of glaucoma, is trabeculectomy, in which the sclera is punctured to alleviate intraocular pressure (IOP), the pressure inside the eye. Non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) surgery is a similar but modified procedure, in which instead of puncturing the scleral wall, a patch of the sclera is skimmed to a level, upon which, percolation of liquid from the inner eye is achieved and thus alleviating IOP, without penetrating the eye. NPDS is demonstrated to cause a significantly less side effects than trabeculectomy.^{[citation needed]} However, NPDS is performed manually and requires great skill to achieve a lengthy learning curve.^{[citation needed]}

Laser assisted NPDS is the performance of NPDS with the use of a CO₂ laser system. The laser-based system is self-terminating once the required scleral thickness and adequate drainage of the intra ocular fluid have been achieved. This self-regulation effect is achieved as the CO₂ laser essentially stops ablating as soon as it comes in contact with the intra-ocular percolated liquid, which occurs as soon as the laser reaches the optimal residual intact layer thickness.

There are some alternatives medication for glaucoma through foods and  exercises:

 

Homeopathic Remedies: Herbs

Proponents of homeopathic medicine believe that symptoms represent the body’s attack against disease, and that substances which induce the symptoms of a particular disease or diseases can help the body ward off illness.

 

Holistic Treatments

Holistic medicine is a system of health care designed to assist individuals in harmonizing mind, body, and spirit. Some of the more popular therapies include good nutrition, physical exercise, and self-regulation techniques including meditation, biofeedback and relaxation training. While holistic treatments can be part of a good physical regimen, there is no proof of their usefulness in glaucoma therapy.

Eating and Drinking

No conclusive studies prove a connection between specific foods and glaucoma, but it is reasonable to assume that what you eat and drink and your general health have an effect on the disease.

Some studies have shown that significant caffeine intake over a short time can slightly elevate intraocular eye pressure (IOP) for one to three hours. However, other studies indicate that caffeine has no meaningful impact onIOP. To be safe, people with glaucoma are advised to limit their caffeine intake to moderate levels.

Studies have also shown that as many as 80% of people with glaucoma who consume an entire quart of water over the course of twenty minutes experience elevated IOP, as compared to only 20% of people who don’t have glaucoma. Since many commercial diet programs stress the importance of drinking at least eight glasses of water each day, to be safe, people with glaucoma are encouraged to consume water in small amounts throughout the day.

Good Nutrition

The ideal way to ensure a proper supply of essential vitamins and minerals is by eating a balanced diet. If you are concerned about your own diet, you may want to consult with your doctor about taking a mulitvitamin or multimineral nutritional supplement.

Some of the vitamins and minerals important to the eye include zinc and copper, antioxidant vitamins C, E, and A (as beta carotene), and selenium, an antioxidant mineral.

Bilberry

An extract of the European blueberry, bilberry is available through the mail and in some health food stores. It is most often advertised as an antioxidant eye health supplement that advocates claim can protect and strengthen the capillary walls of the eyes, and thus is especially effective in protecting against glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. There is some data indicating that bilberry may improve night vision and recovery time from glare, but there is no evidence that it is effective in the treatment or prevention of glaucoma.

Remember that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not tested homeopathic remedies for safety or effectiveness. There is no guarantee that they contain consistent ingredients, or that dosage recommendations are accurate. It would be a serious mistake to use homeopathic remedies and dismiss valid therapies, delaying proven treatment for serious conditions.

Exercise

There is some evidence suggesting that regular exercise can reduce eye pressure on its own, and can also have a positive impact on other glaucoma risk factors including diabetes and high blood pressure.

In a recent study, people with glaucoma who exercised regularly for three months reduced their IOPs an average of 20%. These people rode stationary bikes 4 times per week for 40 minutes. Measurable improvements in eye pressure and physical conditioning were seen at the end of three months. These beneficial effects were maintained by continuing to exercise at least three times per week; lowered IOP was lost if exercise was stopped for more than two weeks.

In an ongoing study, glaucoma patients who walked briskly 4 times per week for 40 minutes were able to lower their IOP enough to eliminate the need for beta blockers. Final results are not available, but there is hope that glaucoma patients with extremely high IOP who maintain an exercise schedule and continue beta-blocker therapy could significantly reduce their IOP.

Regular exercise may be a useful addition to the prevention of visual loss from glaucoma, but only your eye doctor can assess the effects of exercise on your eye pressure. Some forms of glaucoma (such as closed-angle) are not responsive to the effects of exercise, and other forms of glaucoma (for example, pigmentary glaucoma) may actually develop a temporary increase inIOP after vigorous exercise. And remember — exercise cannot replace medications or doctor visits!

 

Yoga and Recreational Body Inversion

The long-term effects of repeatedly assuming a head-down or inverted position on the optic nerve head (the nerve that carries visual images to the brain) have not been adequately demonstrated, but due to the potential for increased IOP, people with glaucoma should be careful about these kinds of exercises.

Glaucoma patients should let their doctors know if yoga shoulder and headstands or any other recreational body inversion exercises that result in head-down or inverted postures over extended periods of time are part of their exercise routines.

Self-Regulation Techniques

The results of studies regarding changes in IOP following relaxation and biofeedback sessions have generated some optimism in controlling selected cases of open-angle glaucoma, but further research is needed.

However, findings that reduced blood pressure and heart rate can be achieved with relaxation and biofeedback techniques show promise that non-medicinal and non-surgical techniques may be effective methods of treating and controlling open-angle glaucoma.

What ever it is, I just hope that my brother will be cure. I pray all the best form him and will remain support him. Indeed, I love my brother.
