Natural Cures
Ayurveda: According to Ayurvedic theory, most vision problems are due to digestive disorders. Attention is given to regular eye exercises, as well as the use of the herbs amla, licorice, and triphala, and a diet rich in organic, whole food with abundant quantities of antioxidant rich vegetables such as carrots and spinach.

First, please seek some professional help in dealing with the mental/emotional aspects of your anorexia. Since your body image is so tied into self image, you need to deal with these deeper feelings. Without doing this, it will be difficult for you to maintain a healthy relationship with "yourself" as well as others as you mature. Your body needs the nutrients from the food you eat, so there is no "quick fix." You can eat more high calorie nutritious foods (nut butters, bananas, pasta, etc.), but without dealing with your mental/emotional issues, your old eating patterns will return. Also, your body may have already experienced some physiological effects of your weight loss (such as no menses, electrolyte imbalances, anemia etc.) and a trained health care professional can review your laboratory results and assist you in getting back on track. Good luck! http://www.countrydoc.com Dr. Karen Benton, Naturopathic Physician
