For this podcast, we are discussing Healing Episcleritis with Traditional Chinese Medicine/holistic practices. Episcleritis- A common, mostly benign, unilateral or bilateral inflammatory condition affecting the tissue between the conjunctiva and sclera. Not to be confused with the more serious Scleritis, that affects a deeper tissue of the eye. It can be distinguished by an ophthalmologist or optometrist performing a blanch of the eye. If the redness disappears, it is episcleritis.
According to Western medicine, Episcleritis is a rather common inflammation disorder of the episclera of the eyeball that can present itself with or without an underlining internal inflammation disease.
