Rating (out of 5): 1

Bai Ji (Rhizoma Bletillae) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb primarily known for its ability to stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and promote tissue regeneration, especially in the context of wounds and ulcers. Its use for eye problems is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practices rather than modern scientific validation. Historically, Bai Ji has been included in some ophthalmic prescriptions within TCM, mainly for treating superficial eye injuries, conjunctival wounds, or ulcers due to its astringent and hemostatic properties.

However, its direct application to internal eye diseases or more complex ocular conditions is not prominent in either ancient texts or modern TCM practice guidelines. Mentions of Bai Ji in the context of eye health are limited and generally relate to external injuries, where its wound-healing abilities are leveraged. There is currently little to no robust scientific evidence or clinical research specifically supporting the effectiveness of Bai Ji for eye diseases or vision improvement. Modern pharmacological studies primarily focus on its benefits for skin and mucous membrane healing rather than the eye.

In summary, while Bai Ji has a traditional role in treating superficial eye injuries within TCM, the evidence is limited, and its use is not substantiated by scientific studies for eye problems in general.
