Natural health with Megan Sheppard: Red-rimmed eyes and gall bladder removal

Megan Sheppard gives her advice on treating red-rimmed eyes and the aftermath of gall bladder removal.

My eyes are very red around the outside rims. I have tried eyewash and drops but these seem to make my eyes itchy. Do you know what causes this and how I can get rid of the redness?

There are a number of potential reasons for red-rimmed eyes, most commonly a deficiency in the B vitamin group or hay fever. It is really the wrong time of the year to be suffering from hay fever, but mould spores, dust mites, and pet dander could be the culprit(s) over the winter months where we tend to keep our windows and doors closed and the heating on.
