How to reduce eye inflammation naturally?

Are you tired of looking like a pirate with an eye patch due to inflammation in your eye? Are people constantly assuming that you are trying out new fashion accessories and commenting on how it looks great on you? Well, fear not my friend because I have the perfect solution for reducing eye inflammation naturally. Before we get into the nitty-gritty details, let’s first discuss what causes eye inflammation.

What causes Eye Inflammation

Eye inflammation can be caused by several factors such as allergies, injury or infection. If your immune system detects something foreign in your eyes (known as allergens), it will see it as a threat and attack them. This results in our eyes turning red and swollen – this is basically our body’s way of fighting off any potential harm from these harmful agents entering our body through the eyes.

Symptoms of Eye Inflammation

Itchy Eyes Watery Eyes Soreness around the eyes
Red Swollen eyelids Blurred vision
Sensitivity to light Pain when blinking

If you experience any of these symptoms, then chances are high that you may have an inflamed eye(s). Not sure if it’s just irritation or full-blown inflammation? Consult a doctor right away!

Now that we know what causes and symptoms related to eye inflammation let us jump straight into some natural remedies.

Cold Compress

Our eyelids cover up delicate tissues which can swell easily causing pain & discomfort so one easy trick is to use cold compresses which work wonders at reducing swelling & soreness fast! You can either use ice cubes wrapped in cloth or place spoons cooled off inside the fridge onto each affected area for approximately five minutes until noticeable results occur with relief.

Drink Water

One overlooked symptom of eye inflammation that many people are unaware of is dehydration which can also be a cause or at :drink_water: least worsen inflammation too! So make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as it can keep the body cool and flush out toxins naturally.

Eat Healthily

Similar to water, eating healthy helps in preventing any adverse effect on one’s overall immune system which indirectly reduces potential for such inflammations :green_apple:. Moreover, reducing unhealthy foods such as sugar and alcohol intake which strains your immune health especially when consumed in large amounts.

Use Chamomile Tea Bags

Not only does chamomile tea help to calm an upset stomach or nervous feeling inside but it has anti-inflammatory properties that you should utilize by steeping two bags inside boiling water until warm / lukewarm enough before applying directly onto the affected areas with closed eyes gently [^The readers are quickwitted enough not to burn themselves with scalding water].

Cucumber Compresses

The same technique as cold compresses applies with cucumbers, slicing them into small pieces and putting on eyelids or treating swollen areas — such a refreshing sensation!

Here’s a bonus tip

Apply eye cream infused with cucumber extract for relief effects (more prolonged & maybe more enjoyable)! These kind of creams offer quicker results – so keep your fingers crossed that this might be easier too.
