Homeopathic Remedies for Dry Eyes

When you have dry eyes, then it’s simply because you don’t have enough essential fatty acids in the body or obstructions frequently impede the natural flow of oil into the eyes to produce tears. To cure this, you will need natural cures and homeopathic remedies for dry eyes. Also, there are other measures that can be taken into account to prevent dry eye, which will all be explained to you in this article. What is dry eye syndrome? Dry eye syndrome is the condition where your eyes aren't capable of producing enough tears to keep them clean, healthy, and lubricated. In some cases of dry eye, the eyes produce low-quality tears that evaporate too quickly, which makes them essentially useless. What are the remedies for dry eye syndrome? Artificial Tears These over-the-counter products can alleviate the stinging caused by dry eye syndrome, as it temporarily restores the moisture in the eyes for quite a long period of time. Artificial tears are made up of natural oils and glycerol, which is safe to apply about 3 times a day. Omega-3 Fatty Acids Dry eye syndrome is associated with an inflammation component, which is why you need essential fatty acids to keep the inflammation in check. To do this, simply include oily fishes (tuna, salmon, and sardines) and flax seeds into your diet. Ginger Same as omega-3 fatty acids, ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the inflammation caused by dry eye. Simply add ginger in your recipes and it will provide its healthful benefits, and remember to never apply it topically, as it may cause harmful effects.

What are the other measures that can be taken? Blinking Whenever you blink, the eyelids spread tears on the eyes to lubricate and clean them of harmful dirt. Cleaning To clean your eyes, use a washcloth and mild soap. Here’s how: Firstly, soak the washcloth in warm water and place it on your eyelids for a few moments. This will loosen any debris in the eyelids. Secondly, use mild soap and apply it gently on the eyelashes. Lastly, rinse thoroughly, as you don’t want to worsen the condition or pain. Staying in Humid Areas You should stay in humid places with about 30 – 50% humidity. Avoiding Certain Substances To be specific, avoid alcohol and cigarettes, as the smoke may irritate the eyes. Avoiding Long-term Staring at Video Screens When you stare at video screens too long, your eyes won’t blink as frequently, so remember to look away and rest your eyes every 20 minutes. Avoiding Long-term Wearing of Contact Lenses Contact lenses can irritate the eye if it’s on for far too long. Also, take note that when you are going to use artificial tears while wearing contact lenses, look for the ones with the label “re-putting”. These homeopathic remedies for dry eyes are effective in either preventing or treating dry eye syndrome. Just remember to keep in mind the reminders and to apply the remedies once you suspect that you have dry eye symptoms.
