Your eyes are starring all day at the computer monitor. When
you do not work, you browse through Facebook. No wonder you feel like you have
sand in your eyes! Here are some handy remedies for when your eyelids feel
heavy and your eyes are tired.
COLD WATER:
Nothing is a benefactor to your eyes as clean and cold water
is. It is indicated to treat your eyes every morning to some cold water. It is
best not to use tap water but bottled mineral water, kept in the refrigerator. You
could also use herbal infusions, but ophthalmologists believe that water is still
the best...
THE SLICE OF POTATO OR CUCUMBER:
The starch content of the potato soothes irritated and tired
eyes. Cut crosswise two thin potato slices, and lay them on your closed
eyelids. Lie down with the "mask" on the eyes, until the slices dry
out. Besides the fact that your eyes will feel refreshed, you will notice that repeating
this treatment alleviates dark circles and makes the bags under the eyes
disappear. Instead of potato slices you can also use refreshing cucumber slices.
PALMING
Palming is a therapy invented by an English physician: rub
your hands together for a few seconds to warm them, and then place them on your
eyelids. Wait for about five minutes, staying relaxed, and your eye fatigue and
headaches will be relieved.
