Remedies for Conjunctivitis
Gentle, Natural Relief
Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva. Common symptoms include redness, itching, watering, gritty or sandy sensation, light sensitivity, and discharge that can be thin or thick. Triggers may be infectious (viral or bacterial) or allergic.
Homeopathy does not take a one-size-fits-all approach. Remedies are chosen based on your individual symptom picture, which allows for targeted and gentle support.
