Many people experience deterioration in visual function, especially with age. This process is provoked by various diseases, changes in the tissues of the eyes, metabolic disorders. A tincture of calamus and calendula, used to improve vision, helps to cope with many eye pathologies.
One of the conditions for the success of treatment with it is the correct preparation and use of the product, the knowledge of what useful properties it has.
Causes and treatment of diseases
Only an experienced ophthalmologist can list all the ailments that the eyes may encounter.
Nevertheless, it is possible to deduce a number of reasons why they overwhelm a person, reducing visual acuity:
- Age-related changes that contribute to a decrease in the functions of eye tissues, muscles;
- Violation of blood flow, due to which the eye tissues do not receive the required amount of nutrition and oxygen;
- Decrease or increase in intraocular pressure;
- Violation of the production and outflow of tear fluid;
- Injuries due to which the integrity or structure of the eye tissues is disrupted;
- Congenital or acquired defects in the structure of the organs of vision.
There are different ways to eliminate both the diseases themselves and their causes. Traditional medicine offers medication, surgical treatment, vision correction with glasses, lenses.
Not all of these methods are extremely useful. Some of them may be ineffective, some may be contraindicated for a particular patient, and some are too costly. With regard to the use of medications, the body and eyes in particular can get used to them, which becomes the reason for their ineffectiveness.
Effective treatments can be found in traditional medicine. In particular, the tincture of calamus and calendula, which improves vision, has an undeniable benefit.
Composition and properties of plants
Some eye diseases are caused by diseases of the internal organs, and in such cases, complex therapy is required, aimed both at combating the initial ailment and at combating eye disease, due to which vision has deteriorated.
Calamus and calendula tincture is recommended for use when the problem is directly caused by eye diseases.
In folk medicine, calendula is often used as one of the most effective remedies.
It contains the following substances:
- Carotene, which is necessary for the normal functioning of the eye tissues;
- Essential oils;

The composition of calendula allows it to have an antibacterial, regenerating effect, normalize metabolic processes in the tissues of the eyes, blood flow.
As for calamus, in folk medicine it is valued for its components:
- Useful acids;
- Essential oils;
- Vitamins necessary for the organs of vision;
- Iodine;
- Protein.
This plant, used to prepare a medicine, has a bactericidal, anti-inflammatory effect.
The benefits and possible harm of the remedy
Used together, these two plants provide our eyes with invaluable benefits, which are as follows:

- Providing the retina with nutrition, which helps to strengthen the eye tissues;
- Reducing the vulnerability of the eyes to all sorts of irritants;

In order for the treatment with this tincture to really bring an improvement in vision, but not to harm, it is worth considering the contraindications to its use:

How to prepare the product?
You can purchase the ingredients necessary for making the tincture at any pharmacy. Plants can be used both fresh and dried.
Tincture recipe
To prepare this medicine to improve vision, calendula is taken dry.
- Chopped calamus root in the amount of 2 tbsp. l. combine with the same amount of dry calendula color.
- Fill the composition with cold vodka in the amount of 0.5 liters.
- The container with the mixture must be tightly closed, send it for infusion for 2 weeks in a dark, cool place. Every day, the future tincture of calendula and calamus needs to be shaken.
- We take the remedy in a dosage of 1 tsp. three times / day half an hour before meals.
The duration of treatment with this medicine is about a year. For this period, you need to stock up on 4 bottles of 0.5 tincture. It is recommended to prepare it right away - thanks to this, it will become even more effective. At the end of the contents of 1 bottle of the product, take a break for 1 month, and then you can continue the course of treatment in the same way.
The tincture can be prepared from each of these plants separately. The recipe for this is the same.
Calendula or calamus remedy
You can use fresh or dried raw materials for cooking.
If a tincture for improving vision is prepared from calamus, its roots are used.
- The plant in the amount of 40 g must be crushed.
- We fill the raw materials with any alcohol with a strength of 40% (you can take pharmacy alcohol, or you can use vodka or brandy), taken in the amount of a glass.
- We insist the mixture for 8 days in a place where light does not penetrate.
- Further, the tincture is decanted and taken in a dosage of 20 drops twice / day before meals.
You need to take the remedy for 2 months, and then you need to take a break for several weeks, after which, if necessary, the treatment continues.
The key to success is the correct preparation and use of the medicine
This means that you should follow some recommendations:
- Do not increase the ingredient dosage indicated in the recipe description. Tincture with calendula and calamus will not be more effective to improve vision from this, but you can harm your health;
- Do not increase the dosage of the drug for the same reason;
- Check with your doctor before starting to improve your vision with this medication. You must make sure that you have no contraindications to this.
Efficiency
Do not think that vision will be restored instantly when using these plants. It can take a long time to heal, especially if the illness that caused it to worsen is serious enough.
The effectiveness of the calendula and calamus tincture is quite high, but in some cases it should be considered as an adjuvant for treatment, used along with medications, eye gymnastics, and wearing glasses or lenses.
The decision to use folk remedies, including tincture of calendula and calamus, does not negate the need for observation by an ophthalmologist and the implementation of all his recommendations regarding treatment.
