Of course, marijuana is currently illegal, and I wouldn't use it or recommend its use anywhere in the United States. Just how effective marijuana might be as a long-term treatment for glaucoma remains a mystery because there's been so little research on it. In fact, glaucoma treatment is not the only potential medicinal use of this herb. It also has the ability to reduce some of the side effects of cancer chemotherapy, especially nausea. None of the scientific literature seems strong on preventive advice, so if glaucoma runs in your family, you might find this particularly interesting.
Naturopaths recommend getting plenty of foods containing antioxidants to prevent glaucoma.
My investigation of 60 mints suggested that wild oregano was among the richest in antioxidants . Since it's a weed at my place, fresh oregano is a standard ingredient in my Antioxidantea. You might try using one to two teaspoons of dried oregano per cup of boiling water. If you'd like to make some Antioxidantea, include some peppermint or rosemary . Pansy contains a compound called rutin, which naturopaths often recommend for the treatment of glaucoma.
