    Default Yellowing of the eye

    How many girls who smoke/drink have a yellow tinge to thier eyes? I'm trying to get rid of mine (only slightly yellow), but my usual water flush hasn't helped.

    What have you girls used to fix it if anything?

    Maybe you have the symptoms of Yellow Jaundice?

    Actually many things can cause the whites of the eyes to go kinda yellow. From an infection in the eye, or body, Alcohol and Just irritation. As well as age!

    If it gets worse or becomes bothersome, have you're eyes checked out. Or have blood work drawn at the Docs. office. Certain STD's (not saying you have one) can also cause the eyes to dis-colour.

    If flushing out your system with water has helped with this problem in the past, how 'bout a fast in conjuction with an herbal cleansing products?

    Are you sure it's from the smoking/drinking, or is it something that has arised from the smoking and drinking (especially), like liver disease? If your liver is not as functional as it should be, it can cause all sorts of problems (yellow eyes is a common one).

    Cleanse your liver by drinking carrot and apple juice.

    The whites, or sclera, of the eyes are generally indicative of a liver that is being overtaxed, generally from drinking*, not smoking and it's someting to take very seriously as most light/social drinkers do not have this symptom. It is a sign that you are drinking too much. I know, it happened to me when I was drinking way too much. A week long regime of water flushing is not enough to help this, you need to cut down or stop drinking for awhile and allow your liver to repair and rest.

    An herbal aid you might seek out is Milk Thistle as this helps to repair the liver and to detoxify it. Luckily the liver is regenerative and self healing to a limited extent but only for so long before abuse by drugs, alcohol, too much Tylenol (Acetaminophen is VERY DANGEROUS to take even in small doses is you drink often) etc., cause irreperable scarring of this most precious organ.

    *Aside from liver diseases of course.

    i'm an herbalist and as to herbal "cleansing" products, let me give you the straight up- they're a waste of money. basically, a "cleansing" system is a system of purgatives, or very powerful laxatives, taken over a period of 3 to 14 days. if you are seriously constipated, take some milk of magnesia. if you experience chronic constipation, see a doctor- this could be a sign of a more serious disorder. if you have fever, chills, excessive sweating, symptoms of jaundice, dizziness, flushing, or sharp, stabbing abdominal pain or persistent aching, go to the emergency room immediately. taking megadoses of laxatives can cause serious health problems, and screw with your metabolism, causing you to gain weight more quickly. if you're simply concerned about yellowing of the eye, cut down on carrots and yellow vegetables, take your multivitamins, drink copious amounts of water, try to get more natural sunlight (use sunscreen or you'll wrinkle!) and eat green vegetables, legumes and whole grains.

    also, milk thistle is definately a good idea if you have liver damage, but taking doses over a prolonged period of time can cause liver toxicity again. drinking carrot juice will help vision, but the yellow pigment in carrots can make yellowing of the eyes worse. hope this helps!
