घृतं कांस्यमलोपेतं स्तन्यं वाऽपि ससैन्धवम् | मधूकसारं मधुना तुल्यांशं गैरिकेण वा ||४१||

sanskrit

Clarified butter (Ghrita) mixed with brass (Kansya) or breast milk (Stanya), along with Saindhava (rock salt), should be used as an eye-salve. Additionally, Madhuka (Honey) can be combined with Madhuka sar (honey extract) and mixed with an equal portion of Gairika (earthy or mineral substance) to create a medicated paste or application. This formulation is helpful in treating various eye ailments, particularly those related to imbalances in the blood or pitta dosha.

sanskrit

Clarified butter (Sarpih) mixed with Saindhava (rock salt) and brass (Tamra), or with breast milk (Stanya) from a woman, should be used for eye treatments. Alternatively, the formulation can include pomegranate (Dadi), Arjuna, Ashmantaka, Kola, and sour fruits, all mixed with Saindhava. This can be used effectively in a Rasakriya (medicated process) to treat eye conditions caused by imbalances, particularly those that involve the digestive fire or pitta dosha. The treatment is also beneficial when prepared with proper cooking and purification techniques.

This preparation is effective and safe for use without any fear of side effects.
