THE LATEST THINKING ON DRY EYE TREATMENTS

Active Melipona Bee Raw Honey: A sweet relief for chronic dry eye sufferers.

Chronic dry eye occurs when insufficient lubrication and moisture on the eye's surface (known as the cornea). A layer of tears typically covers the cornea to keep it moist – this is your body's natural 'eye lubricant'. Small meibomian glands in the eyelids secrete oils that reduce the evaporation of the tear layer.

Research studies confirm that Melipona Bee Raw Honey is an effective treatment for various eye conditions, including dry eye relief. It achieves this by lowering the pH and reducing bacterial overgrowth and inflammation, stabilizing the eye's surface.

Symptoms of the chronic dry eye occur because of corneal inflammation and irritation. Symptoms can include a gritty sensation, a feeling like something is in your eye, or excessive watering/tearing.

Other signs include red or itchy eyes, a burning sensation, pain, light sensitivity, or fluctuating vision. It can be a serious condition and I have often referred patients seeking dry eye relief.

People suffering from chronic dry eye may have a reduced ability to perform everyday tasks, such as reading or looking at a computer screen for extended periods.

Chronic dry eye can be caused by inadequate tear supply or excessive evaporation of tears, resulting in a deficient tear film.

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is one of the most common, if not the most common, causes of dry eye. It occurs when the meibomian glands don't secrete enough oil into the tears, leading to rapid evaporation of the tear layer.

MELIPONA is a Genius Bee

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 10:37:47 -0800

Melipona is a genus of stingless bees native to Mexico and South America. They are also known as "meliponines" or "stingless honeybees." These bees are important pollinators and are known for their complex social behaviors and for producing honey and wax that is used in traditional medicine and food. Melipona bees have been domesticated by indigenous people for centuries and are still used today for honey production and pollination services.

Melipona honey, also known as stingless bee honey, is a type of honey that is produced by the Melipona bee genus. It is known for its unique flavor and medicinal properties. Melipona honey is considered to be one of the purest types of honey, as it is produced by bees that are not exposed to pesticides and other pollutants. It is also known for its high levels of antioxidants, which may provide health benefits such as reducing inflammation and strengthening the immune system.

Additionally, Melipona honey is known for its antibacterial properties, which can be beneficial for wound healing and treating infections. Melipona honey is often used in traditional medicine and is also consumed as a natural sweetener. However, its production is less than other honeybee species and it is...Read More

Researchers at the University of Queensland in collaboration with Queensland Health Forensic and Scientific Services have uncovered the secret of trehalulose — a sugar that is only produced by the tiny insect and does not spike blood glucose levels when eaten.

Nectar sugars are largely glucose, fructose, and table sugar (sucrose), not trehalulose, so the question became "were the bees finding it or making it?"

"We fed stingless bees some sugar solutions to try and find out the origin of trehalulose," UQ organic chemist and research leader Dr Natasha Hungerford said.

"So there's no sucrose left, which was pretty remarkable, really."

Because of the unique way the Melipona Stingless bees stores its honey — in small pots made from a mix of beeswax and tree resins — the researchers looked at a number of potential sources for the special sugar, like native trees and other things in the...Read More

Can you put MELIPONA Bee Honey in your eye for pink eye?

Sat, 14 Jan 2023 12:15:48 -0800

People often call conjunctivitis “pink eye” because it can cause the white of the eye to take on a pink or red color. Symptoms of pink eye can vary but typically include redness or swelling of the white of the eye.

Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is an irritation or inflammation of the conjunctiva, which covers the white part of the eyeball. It can be caused by allergies or a bacterial or viral infection. Conjunctivitis can be extremely contagious and is spread by contact with eye secretions from someone who is infected.

Symptoms include redness, itching and tearing of the eyes. It can also lead to discharge or crusting around the eyes.

Welcome to this space, today we will talk about Cataracts, a problem that often causes great difficulty in being able to fend for yourself. We are going to discuss the causes and symptoms caused by this disorder, to find a way to treat it with natural medicine.

A CATARACT occurs when the crystalline lens becomes opaque or cloudy, affecting vision. The crystalline lens is the clear part of the eye that helps focus light. In a normal eye, light passes through the lens to the retina. This lens has to be transparent in order to receive an image clearly; if the crystalline lens is clouded by a cataract, the image we perceive will be blurred.

This type of problem is related to aging and is very common in the elderly, the cataract can occur in one or both eyes, but it is worth mentioning that it is not transmitted from one eye to the other.

Today we are...Read More
