🌿👁️ Nature’s Medicine Cabinet: Herbs for Eye Health

As we wrap up our JulEYE series, we’re finishing with one of our favourite natural allies: herbs.

Many traditional herbs are rich in antioxidants, support circulation, and help protect against age-related vision decline. Here are some powerful plant-based protectors for your eyes:

🔹 Eyebright – Used for centuries to ease eye irritation and inflammation. Available as a tea or tincture.

🔹 Ginkgo biloba – Boosts blood flow to the retina and may improve vision in glaucoma. Also helps protect nerve cells from oxidative stress.

🔹 Coleus forskohlii – Contains forskolin, which may reduce eye pressure — potentially helpful in managing glaucoma.

🍵 Green Tea – Rich in antioxidants called polyphenols that protect retinal cells from UV damage.

🫐 Bilberry – High in anthocyanins, known to improve night vision and help manage glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy.

🧄 Garlic – Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, while supporting lens health and preventing cataracts thanks to its sulphur and quercetin content.

🌼 Turmeric – Its active compound, curcumin, may help prevent cataracts and reduce inflammation — especially when combined with vitamin E.

💡 Herbs are powerful, but for best results they should be part of a whole-body approach to health.

📍At Advanced Functional Medicine Perth, we take an integrated, root-cause approach to protect your vision — naturally.

👁️💡 Your Lifestyle = Your Eyesight

When it comes to protecting your vision, what you do is just as important as what you eat.

This JulEYE, we’re highlighting how everyday habits can have a major impact on your long-term eye health — and it starts with simple lifestyle choices:

🏃‍♀️ Get Moving
Regular exercise helps reduce your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure & high cholesterol — all major threats to your eye health.

🕶️ Protect Those Eyes
Wear sunglasses that block 99–100% of UVA & UVB rays.
And if you’re working with tools or playing contact sports, wear protective eyewear to avoid injury.

💻 Take Screen Breaks
Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. It reduces strain and supports long-term vision.

🧼 Contact Lens Hygiene
If you wear contacts, clean hands = clear eyes. Always wash your hands before handling lenses, disinfect them properly, and replace them on time to avoid infections.

🧘‍♀️ Small changes = major protection. Your future self (and your vision) will thank you.

👁️✨ The Gut–Eye Connection: What You Eat Affects What You See

Did you know your gut health could be affecting your vision? 👀

Just like your gut has its own microbiome, so do your eyes! 🦠 Known as the ocular microbiome, this community of bacteria, viruses, and fungi (although smaller than the gut’s) plays a crucial role in protecting your eyes from infection and disease.

But there’s more...

🧠 Your gut and eyes are connected through something called the gut–retina axis — a neural and immune communication pathway between your digestive system and your retina.

When your gut microbiome is imbalanced (a condition known as dysbiosis) or your intestinal lining becomes too permeable (aka leaky gut), it can trigger inflammatory signals that travel from your gut to your eyes — contributing to eye conditions like:
🔹 Macular degeneration
🔹 Glaucoma
🔹 Diabetic retinopathy

🌿 Supporting your gut = supporting your sight.

This JulEYE, we’re exploring how functional medicine can protect your vision from the inside out — starting with the gut.

🌿 Is Leaky Gut Real? Absolutely. And it Could Be Affecting You.

Leaky Gut Syndrome (also known as increased intestinal permeability) is a real condition that affects over 780 million people worldwide—and it could be the missing link in your ongoing health struggles.

If you're dealing with autoimmune conditions, fatigue, digestive discomfort, or skin flare-ups, your gut might be trying to tell you something.

🚨 When the gut lining becomes compromised, toxins and bacteria can enter your bloodstream—triggering inflammation and immune responses that may contribute to conditions like:
✔️ Type 1 Diabetes
✔️ Multiple Sclerosis
✔️ Hashimoto’s Disease

So what causes Leaky Gut?
➡️ A diet high in processed foods
➡️ Chronic stress
➡️ Alcohol, antibiotics & NSAIDs

Here’s how to support your gut:
🥦 Eat whole, fibre-rich foods and fermented products
❌ Ditch gluten, dairy, and refined sugars
🧘‍♀️ Manage stress with mindfulness and movement

At Advanced Functional Medicine, we offer advanced testing to uncover if Leaky Gut is at the root of your symptoms—and a personalised plan to support healing.

📞 Book a consultation today and take the first step toward restoring your gut—and your health.

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It causes inflammation and destruction of the myelin sheath, the protective covering that surrounds nerve fibre’s. Our Perth clinic specialises in the treatment of multiple sclerosis and autoimmunity. There are many natural treatment that vastly improve multiple sclerosis.

When the myelin sheath is damaged, nerve signals slow down or stop. MS is usually an episodic disorder, with episodes lasting for days, weeks or months, alternating with remissions (periods of reduced or no symptoms). Episodes may be triggered by infection, hot baths, sun exposure and stress. Some people may not get remissions, and instead get progressively worse.

MS affects women more than men, and is mostly diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. It is the most common neurodegenerative condition affecting young people.
