Lololol, fersure...Uny here...Re: using & drinking eyebright formula??

The question is, can we ingest the eyewash solution after we've used it to rinse our eyes.

And Willowley said >>> If you mean you want to drink the wash from the cup after you've used it to wash your eye then I'd say no, I would not drink it.<<<

And I just "lolololol-ed" when I saw that. Willowley is a city-slicker and I'm a country-farm gal. She wouldn't dream of putting something in your eye and then drinking it, and I wouldn't dream of NOT drinking it! :) :) :)

Here's the thing - all of us have been crying and got some tears in our mouth...and it's not gonna hurt you to have a few tears in your mouth. So as long as one feels comfortable with having a few tears mixed into their eyewash and drinking it, then I can see no reason to not ingest the eyewash after using it in the eye.

On the other hand, if one has eye- parasites or some type of infection in the eye, then drinking the eyewash solution after it being in the eye isn't likely that good of an idea.

I mean, afterall, there's no WAY it's safe to ingest an "infection" from some other part of your body, that's just totally unnatural and dangerous, eh? (not to mention "gross")...because NO animal in nature would EVER lick an infected wound!

Yes indeedy, we've been TOTALLY conditioned to be afraid of "germs".

Bottom line recommendations from me:

--I would never ingest the eyewash fluid after I'd used it if I knew or thought I had eye parasites.

--Knowing that there are antifungal, antiparasite, antibacterial and antiviral herbs in the eyewash, I would *think* there'd be no harm in ingesting it after using it, even if one did have an eye infection...but I wouldn't recommend it.

--If both eyes seem normal & healthy, I personally wouldn't hesitate to ingest the eyewash after I've used it (although I never have, because I never thought doing it). Since I have "plenty on hand", I always put the tincture I'm going to ingest in a different glass right before I do the eyewash procedure, and then take it after I've finished doing the eyewash.

Vive le differance! :) Listen to YOUR doctor within.
