What Is Eye Support (G) Supplement?

Eye Support (G) Supplement is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support healthy vision, eye comfort, glaucoma support, healthy eye pressure, blood circulation to the eyes, and overall eye health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healthy vision depends on the proper nourishment of the Liver, Kidney, Blood, and the free circulation of Qi and Blood to the eyes. The Liver is traditionally believed to open into the eyes, while the Kidneys nourish Yin and body fluids that help maintain healthy eye function and visual clarity. When excess Heat, Blood Stagnation, or Kidney Yin deficiency develops, it may contribute to eye discomfort, redness, visual disturbances, and reduced eye nourishment.

Individuals experiencing these traditional patterns may notice very red eyes, excessive tearing, severe eye discomfort, sensitivity to sunlight, blurred or dim vision, floaters, or a feeling of pressure affecting the eyes. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, these symptoms may result from Heat rising to the eyes, impaired circulation, Blood Stagnation, or insufficient Kidney Yin failing to properly nourish the eyes and support healthy fluid balance.

Eye Support (G) Supplement is an empirical herbal blend based on traditional Chinese herbal principles. It contains carefully selected herbs traditionally used to help clear excess Heat, promote healthy Blood circulation to the eyes, support Kidney Yin, nourish the eyes, promote healthy fluid regulation, and maintain overall eye wellness. This formula is commonly chosen by individuals seeking natural support for healthy eye pressure, glaucoma support, very red eyes, floaters, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and long-term visual health.*

Common Signs You May Need Eye Support 

This formula is most appropriate for Traditional Chinese Medicine patterns associated with excess internal Heat, impaired circulation, and reduced nourishment affecting the eyes. Different individuals may experience different symptoms, such as:

Very Red or Bloodshot Eyes*

Individuals may experience persistently red, irritated, or bloodshot eyes that may become more noticeable after prolonged screen use, reading, environmental exposure, or periods of internal imbalance.

Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Vision

According to traditional Chinese herbal principles, healthy vision depends on proper Liver and Kidney nourishment, healthy Blood circulation, balanced body fluids, and the body's ability to clear excess internal Heat. Daily habits that support these functions may help maintain long-term eye health and visual comfort.

For best results:

  • Eat regular, balanced meals on a consistent schedule
  • Prioritize warm, freshly prepared foods over excessive cold or raw foods
  • Stay well hydrated throughout the day to support healthy body fluid balance
  • Get adequate sleep and maintain a consistent sleep schedule to help nourish the eyes
  • Take regular breaks from computers, phones, and digital screens using the 20-20-20 rule
  • Wear UV-protective sunglasses when outdoors to help protect the eyes from excessive sunlight
  • Exercise regularly to support healthy circulation throughout the body, including the eyes
  • Practice relaxation, meditation, Tai Chi, or Qigong to help reduce stress and promote healthy Qi circulation
  • Allow adequate time for rest and recovery, especially during periods of prolonged visual activity

To support healthy vision, it is recommended to limit:

  • Excess alcohol consumption
  • Smoking and tobacco products
  • Excessively spicy, greasy, or heavily processed foods
  • Excess sugar and sugary beverages
  • Prolonged screen time without regular breaks
  • Staying up late or chronic sleep deprivation
  • Excessive eye strain from reading or digital devices in poor lighting

Foods traditionally considered supportive for eye health include leafy green vegetables, carrots, berries, black sesame, goji berries, eggs, oily fish, walnuts, and other nutrient-rich foods that nourish the Liver, Blood, and overall vitality.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Liver is traditionally believed to nourish the eyes through healthy Blood circulation, while the Kidneys help support long-term vitality and visual function. Supporting these systems may help maintain healthy vision and overall eye wellness.

Consistent nutrition, quality sleep, regular exercise, stress management, healthy circulation, and proper eye care are important foundations for supporting healthy vision, visual comfort, and long-term eye wellness.

Why are Silkie Herbs formulas made as honey-bound pills?

Silkie Herbs uses traditional honey-bound herbal pills rather than capsules or compressed tablets.

This method allows us to avoid many of the synthetic fillers, binders, lubricants, and flow agents commonly found in modern supplements.

Are Silkie Herbs formulas third-party tested?

Yes. Silkie Herbs performs testing throughout the production process, from raw herb verification to finished product testing. This includes screening for identity, purity, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants to help ensure quality and consistency.

Where are Silkie Herbs products made?

What makes traditional Chinese herbal formulas different from single-herb supplements?

Traditional Chinese herbal formulas are carefully balanced combinations of herbs designed to work together according to classical TCM principles. Rather than relying on a single ingredient, each herb serves a specific role within the formula to promote balance, harmony, and overall wellness.

Why does Silkie Herbs use traditional herbal preparation methods?

Many herbs are traditionally processed using methods known as Pao Zhi (炮製), which may include roasting, steaming, honey-frying, wine-frying, fermenting, or aging. These preparation methods have been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine to refine the properties of herbs and support their traditional functions.

100% Natural

Our herbal supplements are made with natural honey as the binder. Honey can support the lungs, intestine, spleen, and stomach; It works as a natural preservative with antibacterial and healing properties. Unlike other herbal supplement companies that use starch, magnesium, and other chemical substances as binders for their supplements, we only use 100% honey. We also avoid using vegetable capsules because they require chemical components to form the capsule shape.

Peak Harvest Herbs

The herbs in our herbal pill blends are harvested at the height of their potency and they are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre-or post-season, but in our view, there is no substitute for premium quality.

It affects our ability to pursue our goals, enjoy our relationships, and experience daily life to the fullest. Good health forms the foundation for everything else we want to achieve and experience.” - Ann Tam

Ann's Story

Here's my story.

If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.

I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.

When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.

I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.

My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.

I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.

Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?

One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.

We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.

The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.

I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”

“What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.

My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”

“Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.

Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.

My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.

After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.

Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.

I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.

When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.

After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.

Our namesake "Silkie" is a Chinese breed of chicken that is well known for its calm and friendly temperament. They are gentle and caring and make wonderful mothers. A Silkie loves nothing more than brooding a cluster of eggs, whether they are hers or not, even if they are "duck eggs". We share the same outlook and care for our clients the same way we care for our own family.

Understanding Eye Conditions and Diseases: A Comprehensive Guide


Eyes are complex organs responsible for one of our most vital senses: vision. Eye health is critical to overall well-being, yet various conditions and diseases can impair vision and even lead to blindness. 

Common Eye Conditions and Diseases


Refractive Errors

  • Myopia (Nearsightedness): Difficulty seeing distant objects clearly.
  • Hyperopia (Farsightedness): Difficulty seeing close objects clearly.
  • Astigmatism: Blurred vision at any distance due to an irregularly shaped cornea.
  • Presbyopia: Age-related difficulty in seeing close objects.

Cataracts

The lens of the eye becomes progressively cloudy, leading to a decrease in vision. This condition typically develops slowly and can affect one or both eyes.

Common Eye Conditions and Diseases


Glaucoma

Optic nerve damaged, often due to abnormally high pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure). It is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

  • Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Gradual breakdown of light-sensitive cells in the macula.
  • Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and leak fluid or blood.

Common Eye Conditions and Diseases


Diabetic Retinopathy

A diabetes-related eye condition that damages the blood vessels in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. This condition can lead to vision loss if not properly managed.

Dry Eye Syndrome

Eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness and discomfort.

Common Eye Conditions and Diseases


Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)

  • Viral Conjunctivitis: Caused by viruses.
  • Bacterial Conjunctivitis: Caused by bacteria.
  • Allergic Conjunctivitis: Caused by allergens.

Retinal Detachment

Retina separates from the back of the eye, depriving it of essential blood supply and leading to potential vision loss if not treated promptly.

Common Eye Conditions and Diseases


Keratoconus

Progressive eye disease where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape, distorting vision.

Amblyopia (Lazy Eye)

Vision development disorder where an eye fails to achieve normal visual acuity, usually due to poor vision in early childhood.

Combining Herbal Formulas Togethers

Combining herbal formulas can effectively address multiple health concerns or enhance overall well-being.

  • Consider Patterns: Identify underlying imbalances or health concerns before combining formulas to ensure compatibility.
  • Address Multiple Symptoms: Choose formulas targeting different health aspects to address multiple symptoms simultaneously.
  • Timing Matters: Consider organ functions according to the Silkie 24 Hour Wellness Wheel. For instance, take Liver and Gallbladder formulas post-dinner or around 7 pm, while Lung and Large Intestinal formulas are best taken upon waking or at 7 am.
  • Synergistic Actions: Look for herbs with complementary actions to enhance overall effectiveness, such as pairing anti-inflammatory with immune-boosting herbs.
  • Ensure Compatibility: Check compatibility and safety of combined herbs, avoiding conflicting actions or interactions. Consult trusted herbalists for guidance.
  • Customize Dosages: Adjust individual herb dosages based on personal needs and tolerance levels for optimal therapeutic effects.
