Carrot Sticks and a Piece of Amla

Carrot sticks and a piece of amla are eaten as a snack. It is everyday food, not a vision treatment. Nothing goes into the eye.

Carrot and amla on the plate, never in the eye

A washed carrot cut into sticks and one piece of amla make a small snack you eat with your mouth. Kitchens sometimes keep these two on the table as ordinary food. They do not restore sight, remove spectacles, or treat cataract, dryness, or infection. Nothing from this plate goes into the eye. Not juice, not pulp, not a drop.

Chew the snack and, if the amla feels very sour, rinse the mouth with water afterwards. Do not rub carrot or amla on the eyelids. Sudden blur, pain, flashes of light, or a red painful eye needs a doctor the same day, not another stick of carrot.
