Red eyes or conjunctivitis is caused by inflammation of the eye, the mucosa that covers the eyes and protects them. Small blood vessels tend to get irritated when exposed to microorganisms, particles and harmful chemicals.
The best natural remedies for red eyes are:
The marigold tea
The yolks have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that treat swollen and dry eyes. Used externally, the yolk is a good remedy for red eyes – it reduces inflammation and prevents excessive bacterial growth.
You need:
– 1 tablespoon of marigold (10 g)
– 250 ml of water
Method of preparation:
Add marigold flowers to a cup of hot water. Cover with a plate and leave it for 20 minutes.
Way of usage
Once the drink has cooled down, soak two cotton flocks in it and apply it on your eyes as you do with the compresses. Let them act for 10 minutes. Repeat treatment twice a day.
Raw potatoes
Raw potato is a perfect remedy for red eyes because it helps fight redness and itching. To treat eye pain and inflammation, potato juice, which is an important source of water and antioxidants, should be used.
Wash and then grate a potato. Soak cotton pads in it and apply to the eye. Keep them this way about 10-15 minutes. Repeat treatment once or twice a day.
Green tea
Green tea contains antioxidants that protect the eyes from the negative effects of chemicals, sun and bacteria. Applying it in the form of compression will improve circulation in the eye area.
