Euphrasia
Euphrasia (euphrasia officinalis) or eyebright is an herb the name of which comes from the Greek word euphrosyne which means "gladness." Euphrasia has been used for centuries for various eye problems. The flower of Eyebright, also known as Euphrasia and Ocularia, somewhat resembles a bloodshot eye, which may have been part of what led ancient peoples to value this plant for eye problems.
Euphrasia is also used topically, mixed with other herbs to treat conjunctivitis and other inflammations or as an eyewash.
