It takes great strength to allow change, movement, and flexibility to occur. Inflammation is one of the ways the body reacts to change if the individual is in a weakened state. This can manifest as irritated, red, or itchy eyes. In the Oriental medical system, the Liver relates to the eyes and to the way we process change. One translation is that the Liver function "sprinkles the chi" so that it does not pool up and occlude keeping it from stagnating. OHCO has a new formula, Eye Ching, which assists the general Liver function, smoothing the flow of chi and easing eye irritation.

There's a new set of pharmaceutical eye drops advertised which tout several different variations. Some attack redness, others lubricate, and another offers an antihistamine to relieve itch. These are symptomatic tools that left us wondering how to pick and where to start. The Oriental medical way is to focus on the system level and in this case it's the Liver. If you smooth out its function then chi won't move in spits and starts. The Chinese see clear Liver function as sprinkled chi —sparkling and free flowing. We hope you'll see Eye Ching as fortunate eye care.
