Glossary
Eyebright
Eyebright is a native British and European plant; naturalised locally in parts of the USA. Eyebright is also known as euphrasia officinalis, euphrasia, meadow eyebright, and red eyebright. Euphrasia is a small downy annual herb which grows in meadows,
pastures and other grassy areas. It has tiny oval leaves and small, scallop-edged, white flowers with yellow spots and a black center resembling an eye. The flowers are small, white or red and often tinged with purple streaks with a yellow spot in the throat.
Eyebright has been used as a folk medicine to treat eye inflammations and infections, coughs, and poor memory. Eyebright has been used since the middle ages as a tonic and astringent. The constituents of eyebright include vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B complex, iron, silicon, iodine, copper, and zinc. Other ingredients of eyebright include flavonoids (rutin and quercetintannins), iridoid glycosides, essential fatty acids, glycoside aucuboside, caffeic and ferulic acids, sterols, choline, and a volatile oil.
