How to Treat Cat Eye Problems with Homeopathy

One of the most striking features about cats is their beautiful eyes. So when a cat has an eye problem, it can be extremely painful and uncomfortable for both the kitty and its owner. Many feline aficionados are turning to homeopathic treatments for treating their cat's eye problems. While homeopathic treatments are all-natural and typically safe and effective, it is always best to consult your veterinarian before attempting to treat your cat's eyes.

Instructions

1

Wash around your cat's eyes by using a warm water-soaked cotton ball and wiping it around your kitty's eye. This will help to remove any buildup or discharge the eye issue may have caused. If there is a large amount of discharge, squirt sterile eye irrigating solution directly into the eye, then use a cotton ball to remove the excess solution and discharge.

2

Place a tincture containing arctium lappa, also called burdock, into your cat's eye. According to Cat-Health-Guide.org, this herb helps to cleanse and can detoxify tissue. In addition, also look for a tincture that contains rosemary, as this herb can relieve pain and has anti-inflammatory properties, as well. Tinctures containing these ingredients should be available at your local herb store. Because of different concentrations in the tinctures, it is best to speak with a sales associate or a holistic doctor about dosage information.

3

Apply a tincture with meadowsweet, or filipendula ulmaira, to your cat's eye, states Cat-Health-Guide.org. This herb is an anti-inflammatory and has astringent and antiseptic properties, as well. In addition, meadowsweet is also helpful in soothing and healing the eyes. Chelidonium majus is known to combat eye problems, as it provides pain relief, fights infections, boosts the immune systems and helps to improve sight. Consult with a holistic veterinarian or sales associate about the dosage protocol.
