Eye drops are used to treat the eyes. They reduce the strain in the eyes. But eye drops must be used under professional guidance only. Otherwise it may lead to complications. Constant use is also not encouraging. That is where the need for home remedies arises. They are harmless and really effective too. They sooth the eyes and give a cooling effect.
Here are some methods to treat the tired eyes.
Take one cup of pure water and boil it. Remove from heat. Add one table spoon chamomile flowers. Cover the pot and let the flowers soak for thirty minutes.
Strain the liquid through a clean cloth and pour into a sterilized container and refrigerate. This can be kept up to one week. This liquid can be used either as an eye drop or as a splash. Both ways it is effective.
In the place of chamomile flowers use petals of rose, elder flowers, fennel seeds, lavender buds etc. Tea leaves can also be used in the same way as a quick splash.
Place thin pieces of cucumber or potato on the eyes. Relax for some time. They refresh the eyes.
Soak cotton pads in cooled witch hazel. Place on the eyes. It is very good to revitalize the tired eyes.
Cabbage and carrots are very good for the health of the eyes. Try to eat it raw.
Take one cup of milk. Boil it with two or three figs and one teaspoon of raisins. Let it cool and drink the contents. It is especially good for the eyes.
Mix a teaspoon of cardamom seeds with honey. Eat the mixture. Continue eating the mixture every morning.
Here is yet another very simple but effective treatment. Take four clean metal spoons. Place the spoons in ice cold water. Remember to put several ice cubes in the water so that the temperature remains the same for a long time.
Take two of the spoons out and place over the eyes. The concave side should be toward the skin. Gently press. When spoons turn warm replace them with the other two. Continue for some time.
The chilliness constricts the blood vessels around the eyes and removes the puffiness. It cleans the redness and irritation of the eyes and makes it normal again.
