Did you know that, being rich in antioxidants, consuming cranberry juice daily can help us fight dry eyes and improve tired eyesight?

Do you feel that your eyes are often dry, irritated, itchy and red easily?

This annoying disorder may be related to other health issues that you should take into account.

However, there are also some tricks to fix it.

Discover in this article the best home and natural remedies to hydrate dry eyes and relieve irritation.

Why do I have dry eyes?

There are many causes for dry or irritated eyes such as;

• Lack of hydration of the mucous membranes or skin
• Hormonal changes
•  Allergies
• Eye strain or excessive hours at the computer
• Some diseases

It is important to find out if it is a specific problem or if we suffer from it on a chronic basis.

The worst thing we can do is rub our eyes, as it will only increase irritation and redness.

Below we propose different types of natural remedies to alleviate and calm this problem, such as some homemade eye drops, poultices or natural fruit juices.

Natural medicine

Nutritious ghee drops

The ghee is a type of clarified butter that is prepared in some countries like India.

This traditional and healing recipe, used in food and as a medicinal oil, is a butter that is simmered in order to extract saturated fat, lactose and toxins.

In this way we obtain an excellent golden oil for health.

We will put each day, in the morning, two drops of ghee in each eye with the help of an eyedropper.

For a few minutes we will have blurry vision but, after a while, we will be able to notice a greater sharpness in the vision, as well as hydrated eyes without itching. 

We can make ghee at home or buy it in a Hindu food store.

The surprising poto

Poto or potus is a very common plant in many houses that has the property of purifying the air in the home, so it is highly recommended in any room.

However, this simple plant hides a healing virtue: it can soothe red eyes. 

We only have to support our eyelids, with our eyes closed, on the leaves of the plant for a few minutes. We must not start them, but we will lean on them.

We can do it once or twice a day. It is also very useful after having spent long hours in front of the computer.

Linen poultice

Another remedy for dry eyes is to prepare a decoction with flax seeds, letting the water reduce by half.

We will apply it once the preparation is Libyan. We can apply it as a poultice with the help of gauze or use it to wash our eyes without worsening the irritation. 

The effects of indigo color

Chromotherapy is the curative therapy that we can perform through colors. In this case, the indigo color has soothing and anti-inflammatory effects on eye irritation.

• We can use a bulb or a lamp of this color in a dark room, in which we will relax for a while each day.

Cranberry juice

Red or purple fruits or berries have excellent antioxidant properties for the eyes.

For this reason, we recommend combating dry eyes with a daily homemade juice based on purple cranberries.

• These delicious fruits have the property of improving or regenerating retinal purpura, which is why they can improve many problems of the retina and vision in general.

• They can also improve eyestrain and improve our night vision.
