Tags and Uses for this Remedy
- Eyes/Vision :Today's modern lifestyle includes long hours engaged with electronics: computer
screens, TV screens, video games, phones, digital readers, and even old fashioned
books. We tend to ignore the resulting eyestrain because we assume
nothing can be done about it.
