Dear doctor,
Which preparation is best for short-sightedness (myopia) – Jivantyadi ghrutam or Jivantyadi yamakam? Please also suggest when to take.
Dr.JV HEBBAR
I would like to correct you that Jivantyadi Yamak is not a preparation for Myopia. Rather it is for Sarva Kustha Roga & Vipadika.
On the Contary, Jivantyadi Ghritum is a very good preparation for Myopia & other Opthalmic disorders.
May be because of the similarity of names you got confused. Kindly rectify it.
Respected sir…is it for external use only ..any indication for its oral use?
It is used for external application only.
