My husband is diabetic and he drinks 1/3 cup of tea made by dry fig leaves every morning can this increase pressure in the his eyes pls? My husband had right eye surgery and lately they noticed that his Left eye got high pressure since he had started drinking this tea made of dry fig leaves. Before he started drinking this fig tea leaves he never had pressure in his eyes. (Also had alot of lasers in his both eyes for a long time).

Figs may cause side effects like allergies, decreased level of sugar, skin irritation and sensitivity to sun. But, I do not think it causes pressure on eyes. Please share if you have noticed other symptoms .
And, if you think your husband is allergic to figs, then he may not take them anymore. For Diabetes, he can take Mistletoe capsules, one everyday for a month or he may take Gudmar herb.
