Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help moisten the mucus membranes in the body. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.

Good-afternoon,

Acupuncture can really help dry eyes, but a cure or not depends on the cause. Please talk to your practitioner about that.

Short answer: yes. Acupuncture can help with a lot of eye conditions including dry eyes, eye floaters, and excessively watery eyes.
Hi,

I would say it depends on the causes of dry eyes. If it relates to hormone unbalance, yes, acupuncture can help. You should get a detailed consultation from a licensed acupuncturist.
Yes.
Yes, and acupuncture is very effective for eye problems. Also, it is even more effective in combination with homeopathic remedies.

There may be a way to treat dry eyes with acupuncture, but I am not aware of it. I recommend you contact the practitioners near you and ask if they've had any success treating it.

Cure is a loaded word and, technically, an FDA regulated one. Let's talk more in terms of whether or not acupuncture could help a patient with dry eyes. The answer to that question is a qualified 'yes'.

While 'dry eyes' may constitute an entire disease state in conventional medicine, in Chinese medicine it's a symptom of something else going off the rails. So, the 'why' is important and will have a lot to do with whether and how quickly there is a response to treatment.

If your dry eyes are a symptom of allergy or a medication side effect, then acupuncture can probably help. There are a variety of other issues which can affect the eyes and cause dryness, so I'd suggest a visit to your eye doctor first.
