Chen, a Chinese doctor, said that before discussing whether eye oil is a harbinger of cataract, it is best to know how Chinese medicine treats cataract. In fact, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the main cause of upper body cataract is the aging of human body and the decline of kidney qi. Deficiency of liver qi leads to qi stagnation and blood stasis, qi and blood are blocked, and eyes cannot be raised. The typical symptoms of such patients are blurred vision and tears.
However, it is worth noting that although kidney qi is reduced and liver qi is insufficient, it does increase the production of eye oil and eye secretions. Oil in the eyes does not necessarily mean that there is a problem of liver and kidney deficiency. In fact, excessive use of eyes, dry eyes, staying up late, lack of sleep, infection (conjunctivitis, keratitis) can also lead to tears in eyes. Therefore, if people only have the problem of eye bleeding and have no other symptoms, it may not be cataract, but it may also be caused by the above reasons.
What kind of tea do menopausal people drink? In addition to explaining that the symptoms of eye tears are not necessarily caused by cataracts, Chen also mentioned that the first key to preventing cataracts is to take preventive measures at ordinary times, wear sunglasses when going out, and avoid direct glare.
For those who enter menopause, the decrease of hormones will naturally lead to problems of kidney yin deficiency and liver blood deficiency. In addition, it is also suggested that the following two types of cataract high-risk groups, that is, friends who have used their eyes for a long time during menopause and their physiological functions are gradually deteriorating, might as well make good use of the corresponding Chinese herbal tea for conditioning, which is also a good maintenance choice: especially female friends, especially after menopause. For this ethnic group, in order to avoid their liver and kidney deficiency too fast, the usual health care should focus on nourishing kidney yin and liver blood. It is suggested that you can drink the following "nourishing kidney yin and protecting eyes tea" as an auxiliary conditioning:

Therefore, people should pay attention to the operation of meridians when pressing acupoints around the eyes, and should not press or rub the eyeball excessively to avoid damaging the eyes and skin around the eyes.
