Q: Can this tea cure cataracts? A: No. Cataracts are typically irreversible without surgery. This tea may help slow progression or reduce inflammation, but it is not a cure.
Q: Is eyebright safe for everyone? A: While generally safe when consumed in moderation, eyebright may not be suitable for people with allergies to plants in the figwort family. Always consult a healthcare provider before beginning any herbal regimen, especially if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
