Eye problems and their natural remedies


Beautiful, sparkling eyes are the best asset one can have. They are an essential part of looking beautiful. They are also the most important medium of communication, by looking straight into one’s eyes, a lot can be said about one’s character, feelings and reactions.

The first essential for vibrant, sparkling eyes is that they should be clear and healthy. If the eyes ever get infected, or have any vision defects, an eye specialist should be consulted immediately for proper treatments. There are, however, some problems which are not so serious, but constitute unattractive highlights. These problems and their natural remedies are discussed here.

1. Dark Circles

The skin around the eyes us very sensitive. It is thin in texture and wrinkles easily. The dark circles below the eyes can be caused by ill-health, such as anemia or excessive menstruation during periods. In these cases, a doctor should be consulted. But sometimes they can be caused by simple factors like lack of sleep or a crash diet. Very often, the dark circles are a part of one’s complexion, if dark circles are due to any of the causes other than heredity. The following remedies will prove useful.

(i) Lie down on a board, raised at one end. Your head should be on the raised side. Now place cold cucumber slices over the closed eyelids. Relax for 10 to 15 minutes. Tea bags stored in the freezer can be used for the same purpose.

(ii) Eye wash : If dark circles are accompanied by tired, red eyes, an eye wash should be used. This eye wash can be prepared by adding a tablespoon of Epsom salt to a cup of hot water. It should be followed by a few eye drops. Rose water also makes an ideal eye wash. It gives freshness to dull eyes.

(iii) Gentle massage: A gentle massage can also help relieve tired and aching eyes. Using the tips of the middle fingers, exert gentle pressure starting from the bridge of the nose and tapping across the eyelids and back under the eyes half a dozen times. Then press quite hard on either side of the bridge of the nose close to the inner eye.
