Just a word of caution about jaborandi, it is derived from Pilocarpus jaborandi. The drug Pilocarpine is derived from this plant and imported mainly from Brazil. The alkaloid Pilocarpine is a very powerful parasympathomimetic – meaning it mimics the parasympathetic nervous system (the opposite of fight or flight). Specifically, it mimics acetylcholine, which is responsible for causing the salivary glands to salivate, the lacrimal glands to make tears, and constricts the pupil, among other things. http://www.rain-tree.com/jaborand.htm
As an eye care professional, I am quite interested in the visual snow phenomenon, and while I’ve had many patients describe visual prodromal symptoms before a migraine (flashes of light, floaters, tunnel vision), I have never had a patient describe the static of visual snow. This is something new and not even touched upon during my education 20 years ago, or even in continuing education courses I’ve attended.
So far, my research has produced no concrete solution to visual snow. Our nervous system is very complex, and I would do a good amount of research before considering the use of jaborandi and definitely under the supervision of a homeopathic doctor.
The following article does a good job of summarizing visual snow and what is known about it, but it also concludes more research is needed.
http://www.eyeonvision.org/visual-snow.html (This article also has a good picture depicting visual snow, but it didn't copy to the quote below)
Visual snow (VS) is the name first given to a vision altering condition now referred to as Persistent Migraine Aura (PMA). The common factor that all sufferers share is the persisting visual symptom of seeing snow or television-like static across their visual field. The snow and static tends to be worse in the dark, but can be seen in all lighting conditions.
VS or PMA should not be confused with normal entopic phenomena or vitreous floaters. While these two conditions also cause you to see spots and floating objects, this is not the same as VS or PMA.
There is no known cause for VS/PMA. Through documented case studies illegal and legal drug usage can sometimes lead to VS/PMA, but little is known on the specific causes. A few connections between HPPD, auto-immune disease, and lyme disease have been found. However, far more cases of Persistent Migraine Aura have no connection at all to another condition.
Although the vision is affected, very few people have had irregular eye test results. Most come back within normal range, leading doctors to believe that patients may be making their symptoms up. CT scans and MRIs also tend to come back normal, again stumping doctors. It is more likely to be an undetectable chemical imbalance in the brain.
The term Persistent Migraine Aura is more fitting for the condition as there are numerous symptoms that patients experience above and beyond visual snow. Many people also see after images, vitreous floaters, entopic phenomenon, glare, halos, starbursts, trails, paliponisia, double vision, odd colors and shapes. Many sufferers also have non-visual symptoms such as fatigue, tinnitus or depersonalization and derealisation.
There currently is no established treatment for visual snow or PMA. Many patients have tried migraine medication with little to no success. Other have tried herbs, cleansing, acupuncture, and chiropractors, again with little to no success.
It is important for you to realize that this is a 24/7 condition for these sufferers. The symptoms do not ever go away. Even with their eyes closed they see the static, afterimages and other disturbing visual images. With the help of a handful of caring doctors, the Eye on Vision Foundation strives to raise funds for future research into finding a treatment.
On a side note, as many here on the forum have talked about ringing in the ears, or even electronic noises inside the head (I have this myself), I wonder if visual snow is a similar phenomenon and has anything to do with the approaching wave or perhaps EMF smog? Some sort of overstimulation of the nervous system? (just thinking out-loud here, FWIW).
Infiniteness, are you practicing EE breathing and eliminating gluten, sugar and dairy from your diet? I would be inclined to detox the body and see if symptoms abate before adding any kind of drugs, herbal or otherwise, to the mix. Chiropractic adjustments may help as well, but even that is not always a precise science. I wish you the best, and if I stumble upon anything that may be helpful, I'll be sure to add it to a post.
I also I have gotten many tests done like MRI, EMG, blood tests, and eye scans, but all came clean or good 
. I have done research on the topic but had minimal input, seems like everyone else with is stuck where I am, don't know what to do. Some of the other symptoms that go with it are halos around lights, cloud vision, blurriness, a little double vision, but its seems that my problems at times gets better and worser. I'm looking into herbs that can help me and one of them is Saffron which I am ordering, hopefully this helps. Any help or input will be greatly appreciated!
but hope it was interesting!
