The eye's ability to see depends, in part, on
the facility of the lens to change shape in order to focus on
an object. Typically, the lens becomes less elastic and flexible
with age, requiring eyeglasses for most older people.
Way back in the
17th century, a herbalist by the name of Nicholas Culpepper
wrote about the virtues of the herb eye bright. He said that
if more people used  this
precious herb, it could spoil the spectacle maker's trade. He
also said if you us it faithfully, it will even strengthen the
brain and the memory.
By taking LIFE
QUEST HERBS' EYE BRIGHT PLUS in capsules and bathing the
eyes with EYE BRIGHT PLUS tea it is possible to improve
the eyesight. This is an old herbal practice that has been handed
down from generation to generation for thousands of years. There
are hundreds of stories of how this simple little, herb in this
combination, has helped so many people improve their eyesight.
We could go on and tell many wonderful stories of how people
have used different herbs and achieved what some would call
miracles. But if you get to know these herbs, they don't really
seem like miracles.
One story is told
of a little baby girl that was born blind, The doctors had done
all they could to restore the baby's eyesight, but nothing seemed
to help her. One  day
a friend asked them why they didn't try the herbal formula EYEBRIGHT
PLUS. He said that he had taken the capsules and drunk the
tea and bathed his eyes in the tea every day for more than a
year and it had really helped his eyes. The parents were very
skeptical and said, "If doctors and all their knowledge can't
help her, how could herbs possibly do any good?" After a time,
they said, "what can we lose, it can't hurt her." They gave
the baby some EYE BRIGHT PLUS tea several times a day
and put a few drops of the tea in the baby's eyes night and
morning. Within a year, the baby was reaching out for bright
objects.
