“Open My Eyes, Lord” — Supporting Eye Health with God’s Natural Gifts

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” — Psalm 119:18 (ESV)

Our eyes are a precious gift—physically and spiritually. Just as we ask the Lord to open our spiritual eyes to His truth, we are called to steward our physical sight with wisdom and care. Whether you’re reading His Word, gazing at His creation, or simply caring for your family, healthy vision enhances how we experience life, and it’s worth protecting.

At Kingdom Come Home, we believe God has provided powerful, plant-based allies to support eye health naturally. Here are three of our favorite herbal tinctures for supporting vibrant vision and reducing oxidative stress on the eyes:

1. Fennel Tincture: The Ancient Eye Tonic

Fennel seeds have long been known in traditional herbalism for their benefits to eyesight. Rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, and flavonoids, fennel helps reduce inflammation and oxidative damage in the eyes.

• Supports clear vision and may relieve occasional eye strain or irritation.

• Contains anethole, a compound studied for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties—excellent for supporting tired or dry eyes.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light.” — Matthew 6:22 (ESV)

2. Goji Berry Tincture: Nourishment for the Eyes

Goji berries are considered a superfruit for a reason. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, they’ve been used for centuries to support eye health and longevity.

• Naturally high in zeaxanthin, a carotenoid that helps protect the retina from light-induced damage.

• Rich in vitamin A and lutein, both critical for maintaining vision clarity and preventing age-related decline.

• Supports blood circulation to the eyes, keeping them nourished and protected.

3. Turmeric & Black Pepper Tincture: Anti-Inflammatory Vision Support

Turmeric is a powerful root for systemic wellness, and its impact on eye inflammation is profound. When paired with black pepper (which contains piperine to increase bioavailability), turmeric becomes a potent ally in preserving eye health.

• Supports anti-inflammatory pathways, helping with conditions like dry eyes or puffiness.

• May help protect against oxidative damage that contributes to age-related vision changes.

• Encourages healthy circulation, supporting the tiny blood vessels that nourish the eye.
