Eyebright has small, scallop-edged white flowers with yellow spots and a black centre, somewhat resembling a bloodshot human eye.
 
Historically, eyebright's use for eye problems was due to the Doctrine of Signatures, a 16th century theory that held that a plant’s appearance indicated the conditions it could treat. Eyebright has been traditionally used to treat all manner of eye maladies including inflammation, conjunctivitis, red-eye, styles, itchy eyes, stinging eyes and weak vision.
 
Eyebright is a tonic, astringent and anti-inflammatory and is commonly used to heal the eyes, nose and throat, to treat the respiratory system, hay fever, colds, sinusitis and excess mucous. It has very little odor, but does have a very characteristic bitter and astringent taste.
