As the eyes age, changes in circulation, inflammation, hydration, and nutrient delivery can gradually affect visual clarity and comfort. In this recorded webinar, you’ll explore age-related eye changes through the lens of Ayurveda, herbalism, and traditional nutrition, with an emphasis on understanding why the eyes are especially sensitive to systemic imbalance over time.
You’ll be introduced to traditional perspectives on how heat, oxidative stress, and reduced circulation are believed to influence the aging eye, along with dietary and lifestyle strategies historically used to support eye health. The class discusses key nutritional categories associated with eye function, including carotenoids, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and sulfur-containing compounds, as well as topical and internal approaches traditionally used to maintain comfort and resilience.
Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, this course emphasizes the idea that eye health reflects overall vitality, encouraging you to view vision changes as part of a broader pattern of aging and systemic balance. The material is presented in an educational, observational way that supports informed decision-making and long-term self-care.
This class is well suited for students of herbalism, Ayurveda, and holistic nutrition who want a deeper understanding of traditional approaches to supporting eye health as part of healthy aging.

Vision changes are often accepted as an inevitable part of aging, yet traditional healing systems have long viewed the eyes as a reflection of overall health rather than an isolated organ. In this recorded webinar, you’ll explore how Ayurveda, herbalism, and traditional nutrition understand age-related changes in the eyes, with a focus on inflammation, circulation, oxidative stress, and systemic nourishment.
You’ll learn why the eyes are considered a “low-priority” tissue in the body and how this affects nutrient delivery and waste removal over time. The course explains traditional views on how excess heat, dryness, and stagnation may contribute to common age-related eye concerns, and why long-term lifestyle and dietary patterns play a central role in maintaining visual function.
The webinar also introduces nutritional and herbal categories traditionally associated with eye support, including leafy greens and yellow-orange plant foods, antioxidant-rich berries, essential fatty acids, and compounds involved in detoxification pathways. You’ll hear discussion of both internal and topical approaches used historically to support comfort and clarity, as well as daily habits believed to help reduce strain and promote circulation to the eyes.
Throughout the class, eye health is framed as part of whole-body wellness, emphasizing sustainable, long-term strategies rather than quick fixes. The material is designed to help you better understand how traditional systems approach aging, vision, and vitality in an integrated way.
