Euphrasia Officinalis

Classical single remedy

burning, acrid tears that redden the lids and cheek, with a bland runny nose — the opposite of Allium Cepa; worse in daylight and wind. (Boericke)

What it’s reached for

  • hay fever or a cold where the eyes stream and burn and the nose is bland.
  • sore, watery eyes from wind, dust or glare.

Common Cold / Catarrh — Aconite vs. Allium Cepa vs. Euphrasia vs. Arsenicum vs. Nux Vomica: the mirror image of Allium Cepa.

Allergic Rhinitis / Hay Fever — Allium Cepa vs. Euphrasia vs. Sabadilla vs. Arsenicum vs. Natrum Muriaticum: burning, acrid, watering eyes are the main trouble, with a comparatively bland runny nose; eyes red and sensitive to light.

Tired or Watering Eyes — Euphrasia vs. Ruta vs. Natrum Mur vs. Pulsatilla vs. Apis: burning, acrid, streaming tears that redden the lid margins, with a bland nasal discharge, worse in daylight and wind.

Potency: 30C three or four times a day; also Ø well-diluted as an eye bath.
