"Floaters" - vitreous opacities / treating mouches volantes homoeopathically
No, this article is not about leopard skins!
I mean the spots before the eyes that "dance" across the field of vision like little black gnats. At best these so‑called "mouches volantes" can be merely annoying; at worst they can significantly impair vision.
Many of you may be very knowledgeable in homoeopathy and know how to treat a simple otitis, a bladder infection or a sore throat yourself without a doctor's diagnosis. But if you suddenly have lots of such mouches volantes before your eyes, you should have this checked medically.
One possible cause is a posterior vitreous detachment. The term sounds alarming, but it is relatively common in people over 65 and is not unusual in those in their 40s and 50s.
With age the vitreous body in the eye shrinks and changes shape. Imagine a dried blob of jelly that pulls away from the edge of the bowl and has become slightly cracked. That's roughly what an ageing vitreous looks like. It separates from the retina and bleeding into the retina can occur.
Sometimes this happens slowly, but most often the haemorrhage occurs suddenly. Believe me—you will notice when this happens. One of my staff members told me she woke one morning and thought she had landed in the middle of a snowstorm! It wasn't one but hundreds of "gnats" dancing before her eye.
Modern medicine does not have much to offer for this situation—apart from reassuring answers. Most ophthalmologists will tell you that "it will settle with time because the haemorrhages will partly be resorbed. The remainder will be compensated by the brain. After a while you will not notice the haemorrhages anymore."
Unfortunately, in my colleague's case nothing happened "after a while". Most of the mouches volantes did indeed disappear, but a few remained permanently—right in the central visual field.
Keyword: homoeopathy!
The Banerji protocol for haemorrhages in the vitreous combines Hamamelis virginiana C200 with Arnica C3, to be taken four times daily. That is at least a good starting point. Depending on the exact circumstances there are, of course, other protocols. A vitreous haemorrhage can have many causes, including retinal tears, diabetes or traumatic injuries. As always, an exact diagnosis is indispensable for choosing the remedy.
At this point I would like to clarify something: before you choose a homoeopathic remedy you should do your homework and consult the Materia Medica, that is, the homoeopathic materia medica. If you have to choose between two remedies, it may well be that one fits better because it covers other complaints you may also have.
If there are several options, the remedy that covers as many of the symptoms and complaints as possible should be chosen first. For example: if you consider Hamamelis as a suitable remedy, you should know that the medicine is also used for haemorrhoids, Raynaud's syndrome, varicose veins and other conditions. It's good to know that!
Hamamelis virginiana for mouches volantes
Let's assume you have mouches volantes AND haemorrhoids. That would point very strongly to the Hamamelis/Arnica protocol and push all other remedies into the background.
I make an effort to present treatment protocols as simply and clearly as possible, but nevertheless you must know your remedies. Good knowledge of remedies brings enormous advantages, especially when several remedies or treatment protocols are under consideration.
After her diagnosis my staff member wisely chose Hamamelis virginiana C200 + Arnica montana C3. She is still taking the globules and has already been able to observe a clear improvement.
Eye problems can be very distressing. Homoeopathy offers an alternative treatment strategy in which you do not have to learn to live with impairment or submit to a risky operation. Have you already read my article on the homoeopathic treatment of cataract? A few years ago I reported on my cousin's experiences.
Homoeopathy helps – please spread the word!
Warm regards,
Yours
