Home Remedy for Treating Pink Eye

7:21:00 AM
Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is a common ailment caused by several different factors. Pink eye may come on because of stress to the small nerves in the eye, or because of a bacterial or viral infection.

Infectious pink eye can spread like a wildfire to those around you. Since so many people get this disease, it is no wonder that so many people want an effective home remedy for pink eye. There are a number of simple techniques to get rid of this condition.

Chamomile: Simply placed cool moist chamomile tea bags on each closed eye for about 10 minutes. Repeat this every couple hours. This will help in clearing the infection.

Saltwater: Cotton balls soaked in warm saltwater when placed on the eyelids gives relief from Pink eye.

Sea Salt : Put a teaspoon of sea salt in one cup warm water and stir until dissolved. You can use an eye dropper and put two to three drops of the saline solution you have created directly into your eye or you can use a cotton ball. Saturate the cotton ball and place it on your eye allowing the water to run into your eye. This is a tried and true remedy that has been used for many years and is still a staple in England.

The standard medical convention of treating conjunctivitis is with anti-biotics or anti-allergens. However, due to the overprescribing and over-proliferation of anti-biotics and anti-allergens, we have built up a moderate resistance to those medications.

Over-the-counter decongestant eye drops can relieve seasonally occurring allergic pinkeye. Cold, moist wash cloths can also be applied to the eyes. Again, care should be taken to use a different cloth for each eye. In extreme cases, a prescription may be necessary.

Steep 2 tablespoons of dried calendula (also called pot marigold) in 1 cup of hot water (covered) for about an hour. Allow to cool. Take a square of cotton, dip in the tea, place some drops in eye and put cotton over eye for about 10 minutes. Use as needed. Refrigerate the remainder and use next day same way. No stinging, no burning, very soothing.

To make sure you are clean you should wash your hand frequently and keep them away from your face and eyes. It's very useful to wash the effected eye with coriander tea. Boil two cups of water and remove from heat. Add one cup of dried coriander. It allows you to steep for five minutes. Strain the herbs from the liquid and it allows you to cool the room temperature. Use this herbal eye wash three times a day to relieve pain and soothe the inflammation. If you are prone to conjunctivitis, these herbal remedies can help during inflammation; protect yourself from future episodes by changing your pillowcases and eye cosmetics frequently.

Colloidal Silver : You can buy colloidal silver in a spray bottle. Spray into your eyes two to three times a day. You can also put one or two drops of colloidal silver in your eyes two or three times a day if you can't find a spray bottle. Colloidal silver has been known to cure pink eye as quickly as six hours. Be sure to use a few days after healing to be safe.

Changing your Eye Color: Iris Color Facts

2:12:00 PM
Color of the Iris

The iris is usually strongly pigmented, with colors ranging from brown to green, blue, gray, and hazel. Occasionally its color is due to lack of pigmentation, as in the pinkish-white of oculo-cutaneous albinism, or to obscuration of its pigment by blood vessels, as in the red of an abnormally vascularised iris (although human albinos generally have very light blue eyes, as the un-pigmented color of the human iris is a pale blue).

Despite the wide range of colors, there is only one pigment that contributes substantially to normal human iris color, the dark pigment called melanin. Structurally, this huge molecule is only slightly different from its equivalent found in skin and hair.

Genetic and physical factors determining iris color

Iris color is a highly complex phenomenon consisting of the combined effects of texture, pigmentation, fibrous tissue and blood vessels within the iris stroma, which together make up an individual's epigenetic constitution. A person's "eye color" is actually the color of one's iris, the cornea being transparent and the white sclera entirely outside the area of interest. It is a common misconception that the iris color is entirely due to its melanin pigment, but this varies only from brown to black.

Melanin is yellowish-brown to dark brown in the stromal pigment cells, and black in the iris pigment epithelium, which lies in a thin but very opaque layer across the back of the iris. Most human irises also show a condensation of the brownish stromal melanin in the thin anterior border layer, which by its position has an overt influence on the overall color.

The degree of dispersion of the melanin, which is in subcellular bundles called melanosomes, has some influence on the observed color, but melanosomes in the iris of man and other vertebrates are not mobile, and the degree of pigment dispersion cannot be reversed.

Abnormal clumping of melanosomes does occur in disease and may lead to irreversible changes in iris color (see heterochromia, below). Colors other than brown or black are due to selective reflection and absorption from the other stromal components. Sometimes lipofuscin, a yellow "wear and tear" pigment also enters into the visible eye color, especially in aged or diseased green eyes (but not in healthy green human eyes).

Blue is one of the possible eye colors in humans. The "blue" allele, existing in the Bey2 and Gey genes of chromosome 15, is recessive. This means that both genes must have both blue alleles i.e. "blue-blue", in a person with blue eyes. If one of the alleles were not "blue" ("green" for Gey or "brown" for Bey2) then the person would have those colored eyes respectively.

As either allele (though not both) can be passed on to offspring it is perfectly possible for someone who does not have blue eyes to have blue-eyed children. Because of its recessive nature, this is a certainty if both parents have blue eyes. Though this explanation gives an idea of eye color delineation, it is incomplete, and all the contributing factors towards eye color and its variation are not fully understood.

Faking the iris color

Certain eye colors are sometimes seen as being especially attractive and motif-expressing contact lenses can be worn to mask one's natural eye color with another. They are rarely needed and almost never recommended by serious medical doctors, unless the patient's retina needs extra protection, as in aniridia.

Since the introduction of machines which can automatically analyse iris patterns, and their use at some airports as a security measure, it is reported that some people have resorted to colored contact lenses, or deliberate iris injury with lasers, to prevent personal identification.

Iris color as paternity test

As stated above, although there has been much fuss about finding the genes for eye color, there is no simple genetic determinism for such a complex trait, as there is more to iris color than pigmentation. Overall, there is no simple Mendelian inheritance in iris color. Consequently no serious test of paternity can be based on observations or even measurements of iris color, except to note that blue eyes are normally phenotypically recessive, so that a brown-eyed child of two blue-eyed parents may create some doubt about paternity.

Different colors in the two eyes

Heterochromia (also known as a heterochromia iridis or heterochromia iridium) is an ocular condition in which one iris is a different color from the other iris (complete heterochromia), or where the part of one iris is a different color from the remainder (partial heterochromia or sectoral heterochromia).

Uncommon in humans, it is often an indicator of ocular disease, such as chronic iritis or diffuse iris melanoma, but may also occur as a normal variant. Sectors or patches of strikingly different colors in the same iris are less common. Alexander the Great and Anastasios the First were dubbed (dikoros, "with two pupils") for their patent heterochromias. In their case, this was not a true dicoria (two pupils in the same iris). Real polycoria can be due to disease but is most often due to previous trauma or surgery.

In contrast, heterochromia and variegated iris patterns are common in veterinary practice. Siberian Huskies show heterochromia due to interbreeding, possibly analogous to the genetically-determined Waardenburg syndrome of humans.

Some white cat fancies (e.g., white Persians) may show striking heterochromia, with the commonest pattern being one uniformly blue, the other green. Striking variegation within the same iris is also common in some animals, and is the norm in some species.

Several herding breeds, particularly those with a blue merle coat color (such as Australian Shepherds and Border Collies) may show well-defined blue areas within a brown iris as well as separate blue and darker eyes. Some horses (usually within the white, spotted, palomino or cremello groups of breeds) may show amber, brown, white, and blue all within the same eye, without any sign of eye disease.

One eye with a white or bluish-white iris is also known as a walleye

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)

11:28:00 AM
Computer vision syndrome is a very common problem detected among the people working on computers. Children working on computers at home or school as well as the working people related to computer are its targets. This happens due to prolonged computer usage which may stress you eyes and result in impaired vision.
The main reason for computer vision syndrome to be caused is the different reaction of the eyes and brain to the words on screen than those on paper. You'll notice that a person with healthy eyes will not face problem in focusing on black letters printed on paper than those with hampered vision. But our eyes feel difficulty in focusing on the characters on the computer screen as these are bright at the centre and do not have well defined edges. So they tend to drift to the resting point of accommodation also known as RPA. This continuous drifting of eyes leads to staring and tiring them as therefore hampering the eyesight.
Symptoms of computer vision syndrome:
You may not even have an idea of being affected by computer vision syndrome. Here are a few symptoms by which you can judge your eyes and of your little ones too.
- You'll feel slight headache all the time.
- You'll face loss of focus while working on computer screen.
- You'll feel your eyes tired always with a sensation of burning.
- You neck and shoulders may pain too.
- You may notice double vision i.e. seeing two similar objects mingling in each other.
- Your vision may also get blurred a bit.
How to prevent computer vision syndrome :
If you are informed well about eyes related problems while working on computer you should take some preventive measures right from the beginning.
- You can arrange your work environment for better ergonomics. This will reduce your eye strain and various other visionary difficulties related to computer vision syndrome.,m
- A good and reliable pair of computer glasses may also prevent you from the predicted sight problems. It may also help you see well. But it may be bought after the proper eyesight checkup by a doctor. He may diagnose your eyesight and also determine the distance between you and your computer before recommending computer eyeglasses to you. This will surely allow you work more efficiently and comfortably.
- Sitting at a right distance from the screen is also a good preventive measure against computer vision syndrome.
- Even glare screen filters may help you to some extent. But if you're already a computer vision syndrome victim this will be of no use. These do not solve vision related problems but can only help you as a preventive method beforehand. Glare screen filters only affect glare from the computer screen.
- You may also go for an anti reflective coating on your computer eyeglasses to prevent computer vision syndrome. This blocks glare and reflections on the rare and front of the glass lenses which may intervene focusing.
- A 20-20-20 rule works well to help you relieve from computer vision syndrome. This means to focus the eyes for 20 seconds on an object kept 20 feet away every 20 minutes of your sitting at computer.
So, if you are a regular user of computer keep in mind all the computer vision syndrome preventive measure to keep your eyes safe and healthy.

Keeping a cold object onto the eye bags is a natural treatment for bags under eyes that has been popular for centuries. Slices of cucumber were traditionally applied however green tea bags are now popular for the reason that certain ingredients present in them have anti-inflammatory properties. Liquid vitamin E is a very good treatment for bags under eyes if it is massaged gently into the delicate skin near the eyes.

Use Eyebrow Makeup to Cover Up Eyebrow Hair Loss

4:26:00 AM
Eyebrow hair loss is a major problem nowadays among many men and women. The good news is that there are various ways that you can use to get back the same eyebrow hair. However, there are no quick ways to get the eyebrow hair back. The tattoo treatment would be an exception here since it does not involve the use of hair at all. The fact regarding the disease is that for many people the major reason is autoimmune disease. The condition is known as Alopecia Areata, which affects the scalp hair, eyebrow hair or any other hairy area of the body.
You can use eyebrow makeup to cover the hair loss. It is simple and you won't even want to take help from someone else. All you need is your eyebrow makeup kit and eyebrow stencil. When you go shopping for eyebrow stencils, make sure that you purchase the one that suits the shape of your eyebrows.
First, put the stencil over your eyebrows and draw a line towards the inner side. When you have drawn the line, use a dark pencil to redefine it so it does not fade off easily. The color of the pencil should be that of your eyebrow hair color. Now take a colored eye shadow that goes well with the hair color of your eyebrow.
People usually have black, dark brown or light grey eye brow hair colors, depending on age and the natural hair color. Start filling the outline with the brush with the color. Make lighter strokes and use color in lesser quantity so it does not look fake. Fill in the color in between the eyebrow hair as well so it looks natural. When you are done with it, brush off the extra powder on both the eyebrows, pat them with a smudge brush so the color blends in equally.
Now smudge and blend the outline towards the inner side of your eyebrows so it evens out. The look will be more pleasant and bright. If you have very light eyebrows and you wish to have a dramatic look, you can use a bolder shade of the eye pencil.
However, make sure that the eyebrow color does not look like a patch on the eyebrow. It should look absolutely natural and well kept. Also, when you use dark makeup for your eyebrows, make sure that you use a bold black shade of mascara for your eyelashes. Doing so will give a softer and natural look to your eyebrow makeup.

Central Serous Retinopathy (CSR) - Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment

10:09:00 AM
Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), is a disease of the eye and retina, which affects vision. CSR is known to be closely related to stress, gastritis (H. pylori bacteria), kidney disease, and the use of medications like steroids. This condition usually affects males from the age of 20 to 50 years; however, females too may be affected. This condition results from leakage of choroidal fluid due to breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium, resulting in a swelling beneath the retina which accumulates under the central macula. This causes blurred or distorted vision, known as metamorphopsia. Retinal detachment may cause a blurred or grey spot in the central visual fluid.
Modern treatment of CSR consists of removing the known cause of the condition, discontinuing steroids, and providing counselling and psychotherapy for stress. No medication is known to provide benefit in the treatment of this condition; however, some physicians are of the opinion that mild dose aspirin may help in early recovery. Some patients report benefit with a short course of steroids; however, this treatment is controversial and possibly may cause a relapse or aggravation of the condition in the long run. Hot laser treatment, or cold laser is known to provide benefit by plugging the leakage in the retinal epithelium; however, care needs to be taken in the implementation of this treatment in order to prevent damage to the retina and long-term scarring.
The overall prognosis of this condition is usually quite good, with more than 90% patients reporting improvement within the first six months. However, about 5% of patients may have rapidly deteriorating vision due to a condition known as Type II CSR, in which there is a shallow but persistent fluid build-up. A few patients may report recurrence of the condition, resulting in progressive loss of vision. Scarring may cause persistent problems such as decreased night vision, reduced color discrimination and distorted vision.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment is especially useful in patients with recurrent CSR and in those patients with little or no response to modern medications or laser therapy. The aim of treatment is to prevent leakage of fluid by strengthening the basement retinal pigment epithelium and helping to resolve the fluid accumulation, so that retinal detachment can be treated or prevented. Treatment is also aimed at reducing stress and preventing strain of the internal parts of the eye.
Medicines like Saptamrut Loh, Tapyadi Loh, Ekangveer Ras, Trayodashang Guggulu, Maha Triphala Ghrut, Maha Manjishthadi Qadha, Saarivadi Vati,: Punanava Mandur, Lakshadi Guggulu, and Rasayan Ghan Vati are especially useful in the management of this condition. Herbal medicines which are useful in the treatment of CSR include Manjishtha (Rubia cordifolia), Saariva (Hemidesmus indicus), Triphala (Three fruits), Punarnava (Boerhaavia diffusa), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Yashtimadhuk (Glycyrrhiza glabra), Patol (Tricosanthe dioica), Patha ( Cissampelos pareira), Musta (Cyperus rotundus) and Kutki (Picrorrhiza Kurroa).
Medicines like Praval Panchamrut, Sutshekhar Ras and Kamdudha Ras are used to treat associated gastritis. Gokshuradi Guggulu, Chandraprabha Vati, and Punarnavadi Qadha are used to treat associated chronic kidney inflammation. Medicines like Saraswatharishta, Prasham, Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Jatamansi (Nardostachys jatamansi) and Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus pluricaulis) are used to treat associated stress along with counseling.
Oral medications like Triphala Ghrut, Yashtimadhuk Ghrut, Shatavari Ghrut, and eye drops containing Triphala, Yashtimadhuk, and rose water can be used on a long-term basis to prevent relapse of the condition. Most individuals affected with chronic or recurrent CSR require Ayurvedic herbal treatment for about three to six months. Regular treatment can provide complete relief to individuals affected with this condition, as well as prevent a relapse and long-term complications. This treatment can also be given concurrently with modern therapy like laser treatment. Ayurvedic herbal treatment thus has a definite role to play in the management and treatment of CSR.

Eye Care Beauty - Kitchen Remedies

5:32:00 AM
These may not be guaranteed solutions, but I love home remedies on solving skin problems, or just for pure beautifying routines. Some of these tips I got from my friends, those who spend most of their time in the kitchen.
If you run out of your favorite eye cream, or waiting for the next delivery, you can't just get through the days without doing anything to maintain your skin's health. These regimens can help assist your eye creams, and the best of all, they're all natural, straight from your kitchen.
Reduce Eye Puffiness - The favorite cucumber to take away the puffiness in the eyes. Get a quarter of cucumber and slice them thinly. Before putting the cucumber on your eyelids, spritz your eyes with water. Allow the cucumber to remain in your eyes for ten minutes while you lie back and relax.
Tighten Baggy Eyes - To tighten the bags under the eyes, slice 1/4 raw potato in thin slices, spritz your eyes with water, and allow them to remain on your eyes for ten minutes or more. Basically similar to our puffiness regimen, only this time with a different vegetable.
Reduce Crow's Feet - Crows feet is a bit more difficult to reduce. No more slicing this time. For this regimen, beat 1 egg white until soft peaks are nearly formed. Dab the solution around your eye, along the cheekbone and outer eye area. Allow it to settle and let it remain for 10 minutes. After the specified time, removing the film requires a little more effort than the previous two. Just spray the applied area with water, and then use a cotton ball dipped in cool water, or a soft washcloth to slowly wipe it off. Be careful of the applied pressure, or we may create new lines instead of reducing them.
Thicken Eyelashes - This is a bonus. Not necessarily an eye problem, but will also help with your overall appearance. To get thicker and healthier eye lashes, simply dab a cotton swab with castor bean oil, then apply on the lashes, the oil may be allowed to remain the entire day. Repetition of this will help lashes become thicker, and healthier looking.

Natural Home Remedies for Eye Care

9:55:00 AM
The senses of sight is perhaps the most important of the five senses nature has give to man. A sightless man is a pitiable sight. Anything that interferes with your vision is irritating and a danger to the capacity to see is the most serious danger of all. You must, therefore, take care of your eyes.
Sometimes eyes do the job of the tongue: a mere flickering of the eyelids may express volumes. They reflect your inner mind. Whether the eyes are big or small is not in your hands, but do care of them. Large eyes ringed with dark circles are ugly, but sparkling eyes, even if they are small, are beautiful. You can disguise your face under a coat of make up, but the only thing that can make your eyes beautiful is their constant care.
The beauty of the eyes depends on cleanliness of the body. Constipation, for example, makes the eyes dirty. The white of the eyes no longer remains white; inadequate intake of water may give them a yellow tinge. In sufficient perspiration gives rise to a accumulation of poisonous humours in the body and dark circles appear around the eyes.
Proper diet:
It is the inner cleanliness, which is the key to the beauty of the eyes. Improve your diet, enjoy sunshine and fresh air. Spend at least 15 to 20 minutes in the sun with the minimum of clothing so that fresh air can get into your pores and the heat of the sun can bring out the perspiration.
You food must have all the necessary vitamins. Vitamin A is to be found in abundant quantities in spinach, leaves of turnip, sweet potatoes, milk, butter, cabbage, tomatoes, peas, gourds and carrots.
Vitamin B is to be found in the husk of the wheat seed, soyabeans, milk, peas, unpolished rice, toasted rice, raisin, cucumber, oranges, spinach, cabbage, carrot and pineapple.
The source of Vitamin C are: Green chillies, juice of lime, orange, leaves and stalk of the mustard plant, spinach, leaves of turnip, papaya, leaves of beet root plant, cabbage, tomatoes, mangoes and myrobalan.
The cheapest sources of natural Vitamin D are: milk, butter, and sunlight.
Exercises- some exercises for eye care also suggested:
Fold your arms with your hands under the armpits and stand in a relaxed manner. Take your shoulders back in a circular motion and resume the earlier position.
Touch the underside of the neck with your chin and then move your head as far back as you can. Move your head in a circular motion so that it touches first the right and then the left shoulder. Then move in the reverse direction touching first the left and then the right shoulder.
Move your head from side to side without moving your body. Keep your head stationary and then move your eyes upward and then downwards. Move your eyes left and right. Repeat this process at least half a dozen shoulder.
Concentrate your gaze on your index finger extended outward and try to view a distant object across it just as you are taking aim. Repeat it twenty times.
Stand with your feet one foot from each other. Close your eye and move your body from right to left. This should be done as you face the early morning sun. Sprinkle cold water over your eyes and then dry them with a soft piece of cloth.
Put your palms on your eyes. Sit with your elbows on your knees and palms on your closed eyes. Do it softly so that no pressure is exercised on the eyeballs.
All the exercises suggested here should be done while your body is completely relaxed and your mind free from worries or thought of things that you have to do during the day. They will help to make the eyes healthier and more beautiful.

Eye Exercises to Improve Vision - Fix Your Eyesight Naturally

6:17:00 AM
A recent study showed that the most common reasons for bad eyesight are incurred naturally and can be cured naturally. In light of this, the obvious question is why do so many people jump straight onto glasses without even trying to improve their vision through eye exercises?
I genuinely believe that people are just simply unaware just how their eyes work and how quickly it can respond to a little bit of exercise. The muscles that control and shape the lens in the eye can be worked just like the bicep muscles in your arms and lit of bit of daily exercise for a couple of weeks has been shown to completely fix over 45% of eye problems with a further 30% showing "drastic improvement".
Given that glasses teach your eyes bad habits, commonly cause a steady deterioration in eyesight and cost on average $500 a year then it is clear that spending a short amount of time running through some eye exercises could literally be the best decision you ever made for your eyesight.
For those of you who have already been dependent on glasses for a number of years, then I have something encouraging to say to you too. Your eyes are so versatile that you can reverse the effects that your glasses have had on your vision. In fact some people can completely cure their vision problems within the first month of proper eye training. The exercises can even work on eyesight problems that have been caused by ageing.
Here's a few important bits of information for you in your quest to improve your eyesight naturally:
Teaching your eyes to Relax
As simple as it may sound, simply teaching your eyes to relax can have a major impact on your vision. Your eyes are extremely sensitive to strain especially with our modern common lifestyle of working in front of computers, watching the television and reading books. Eye strain can even occur without you noticing it - most of the time there are no symptoms in terms of feeling, you just start to notice a deterioration in your vision.
One exercise that I always recommend to someone who is suffering for eye strain is called palming. It's a very simple, easy exercise with a great success rate. When this exercise is performed consistently for a few weeks the results are often very encouraging.

Here's what you do:
Put your hands out in front of you with your palms facing in the eye. Then bring your palms up to cover your arms making sure that the hands are cupped so that they don't actually make contact with your eyes. Put your elbows on your desk or another hard surface and try to make yourself comfortable. Now you simply spend as long as you need to generate relaxing and positive thoughts. You should try and concentrate on relaxing all the muscles in your eye - this will be hard to begin with but after a while you get used to it.
Palming is especially recommended for those who work in front of a computer for extended periods of time or who find themselves straining to focus on objects.
Specific Eye Exercises
There are a large number of eye exercises out there for specific conditions. For example, there are many exercises that focus purely on myopia (short sightedness) and teach the eye to adjust to objects that are far away.
William Bates is the pioneer for these exercises - his work and understanding of natural vision was way ahead of his time. He has been dead over 7 decades now yet his work is still at the foundation of most eye exercise programs and for great reason too - it works.
Vision Without Glasses
Hopefully you've found this article useful in your quest to improve your vision naturally. Just by researching the exercises you are already ahead of the majority but now you should take action. It is easy to be a skeptic (I certainly was) but you have nothing to lose and everything to win by simply taking a leap of faith and trying the exercises for a few weeks. If you're serious about exercising your eyes then I always recommend Vision Without Glasses. It is a modern day equivalent of Bates' original methods and is widely commended for having a high success rate. As part of the package, you also receive William Bates' work too which is over 300 pages of in depth material.

Home Treatment For Eyebags and Dark Circles

5:57:00 AM
Eyebags and dark circles can be very embarrassing to have. In some cases, your situation may partly rely on your appearance so it may be helpful to find an effective solution to get rid of it. There are quick and cheap home treatments available that will significantly lead to beautiful skin. Some of these techniques should be followed through well for maximum benefits.
The Lowdown on Stress and Exhaustion
Majority of eyebags and dark circles stem from a tired and stress body. You may notice that several hardworking individuals who do not get enough sleep at night are most prone to developing the problem. The basic approach would simply be to get more rest and sleep. Stress and mental exhaustion tends to tire the tissues, skin and muscle surrounding the eyes thereby leading to dark discolorations.
Other factors may also be the cause such as hereditary factors, age, vulnerability to environmental and external elements and unhealthy lifestyle habits that stress the skin such as smoking and excessive alcohol intake. These can be treated by controlling the predisposing factors and changing routines that make skin appear unhealthy. Hereditary susceptibility and age can be helped by taking care of one's body more through the years to prolong wellness.
Effective Home Remedies
Tired orbital areas may be relieved by cold application. Place a number of spoons in the freezer for about 30 minutes to an hour to allow it to absorb the cold. Use the backside of the spoon and place directly on the eyebags and dark circles for 2 minutes. Make use of the various angles of the spoon until the coolness is completely transferred on your face. Another alternative would be to place ice cubes in a small basin of water until the temperature drops to freezing. Take a small towel then dip and wring completely in the ice cold water before directly placing over the eyes covering the problem areas. Repeat the process one or two more times.
Basic facial washing also improves overall condition. Wash your face immediately upon waking up using mild soap and cool water. Massage and soothe eyebags and dark circles carefully then rinse thoroughly. Dab the areas dry with a clean cotton towel. Be sure not to rub on the areas to avoid stressing them. Eyebags may also develop through fluid retention so it may help to keep your head elevated during sleep and avoiding too much salt and fluids before bedtime.
Lightening Products
Vitamin E cream is usually recommended by most dermatologists since it offers a natural and non-irritating solution. Wrinkle-removing lotions and ointments are not recommended if the condition is due to normal aging. Hemorrhoid ointments are known to help tighten skin cells thereby making dark spots disappear. Quick fixes include concealers but make sure that you remove oil-based products with a cleanser or astringent to prevent irritation. Some types of oil and other ingredients may increase puffiness and swelling around the eyes so you may be better off with hypoallergenic cosmetic applications.
Herbs and Other Alternative Treatments
Some people suggest putting a sliced potato or cucumber over each eye for about 30 minutes. Chamomile, dill or rosemary compresses are effective alternative treatments as well. Ginseng and gynostemma are herbal agents known too improve skin circulation and pore condition thereby removing dark circles around the eyes. These treatments act by improving blood flow and distributing oxygen well into the tissues. Vitamin K is also considered to help eliminate puffiness and discoloration. Vitamin C, copper and zinc are useful agents since these create elastin which functions by keeping skin tight and healthy. Other useful elements include selenium and minerals like Vitamin B complex.
Healthy eating habits and a sound exercise routine will keep your skin healthy and prevent formation of eyebags. Individuals should limit exposure to UV rays and sitting in front of the television or computer for too long. Smoking should also be reduced or stopped entirely since it can cause blood vessels to constrict limiting oxygen and blood supply to tissues. Choice of food is another factor to consider since spicy foods are known to excite the nervous system. Focus more on healthy and natural food options rich in essential vitamins and minerals.

Six Foods That Improve Your Vision

10:35:00 AM
You may already be stocking up on carrots to keep your vision in great shape, but did you know there are dozens of other foods that can reduce your risk of vision loss? Poor eyesight is often associated with aging and genetics, but experts suggest that eyesight damage can be prevented with everyday foods. Adding a few leafy greens, dark chocolate and garlic to your daily plate are just a few ways to keep your eyes - and body - in good health.
If you're concerned about vision loss and improving your eyesight, consider adding these six foods to your weekly menu:
1. Salmon - not only does salmon contain high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids, but it's also full of Vitamins A and D. Together, these dietary essentials can help boost your brain power and improve eye health. Add at least 2-3 servings of fresh salmon to your weekly menu to optimize your diet.
2. Garlic - if you're suffering from poor circulation, eating garlic regularly can enhance blood flow and give your immune system a boost. Garlic is also rich in sulfur which is essential for keeping the lenses of your eyes strong and resilient. Fresh garlic is more potent than cooked varieties, and can easily be added to entrees for a more flavorful - and healthy - dish.
3. Dark chocolate - lauded for its antioxidant benefits, dark chocolate also contains flavanoids which are essential for a healthy heart. Flavanoids help to protect the blood vessels of the eyes so that the cornea and lens stay strong as you age. Purer forms of dark chocolate are the most potent, so look for chocolate bars that contain at least 60% cacao extracts for maximum health benefits.
4. Leafy green vegetables - you already know the importance of eating your greens each day, but all that spinach, broccoli and kale will provide essential vitamins and minerals for good eye health. According to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, spinach in particular contains high levels of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin which are essential for protecting the eyes from degeneration (Source: Glaucoma.org). Eating your greens fresh is the best way to maximize their health benefits.
5. Bilberries - these dark purple berries contain anthocyanosides, a compound that may reduce the risk of vision loss. They're a tart and tasty fruit that can be eaten fresh, or enjoyed as a jam or jelly. Antioxidant-rich berries are another valuable source of nutrition that may also improve your eyesight.
6. Eggs - whether you enjoy them scrambled, boiled or sunny side up, eggs are a valuable addition to any diet. Egg yolks contain several essential nutrients and protein that can keep you healthy; in addition to lutein and essential fatty acids, eggs contain B-vitamins and zinc that are essential for overall eye health.
From dark chocolate to garlic, stocking up on these six essential foods can help you maintain a balanced diet and improve your eye health.
If you're concerned about vision loss and vision impairment, a consultation with a optometry doctor in your area can determine whether you're a good candidate for LASIK or corrective eye surgery. Still, preventive measures with some simple dietary changes may help you maintain healthy vision as you age.

Eczema on Eyelids - Best Way to Treat It

5:04:00 AM
If you have eczema on eyelids then you will not need me to tell you how painful and irritating it can be.
The symptoms of eyelid eczema can vary from person to person, but on the whole they will consist of raw flaky skin around the eye area which can become red and inflamed. Also the urge to scratch and rub the skin around the eyes can be difficult to resist.
The thing is though however much you are tempted to scratch or rub, you must do your best to avoid this. Simply because scratching your itchy eyelid eczema skin will result in the skin becoming further inflamed, resulting in the skin cracking and the potential risk of some kind of infection setting in.
Apart from the obvious issues surrounding eczema on eyelids, there is the added problem of the way that it looks. There is no point sugar coating this point, the skin around the eyes can start to look pretty ugly and sore. This is not a type of eczema that can really be hidden from public view.
There are a few steps that you can take if you have eczema around the eyelids. The first is to stop using any cosmetics around the eye area. Something is causing a reaction that is causing the eyelid eczema. Sometimes the simple step of avoiding cosmetics can result in a reduction of the eyelid eczema symptoms.
Also try changing the soap that you wash your face with, as many soaps can contain chemicals which are far from being natural.
Typically your doctor may prescribe a steroid based cream to try and control the eczema on eyelids. The problem here is that any long term use of steroid eczema treatments can be harmful. This is more true when it concerns having eczema around the eyes.
The skin surrounding your eyes is very thin, and it does not take a lot for it to get damaged and wrinkled. Also because the skin is so thin, it absorbs anything that you put on to it very quickly. This includes steroids and any other chemicals that medicated eczema treatments contain. This is not something that you want your eyes coming into contact with too regular.
The best way to treat eczema on eyelids is to try and use natural eczema treatments wherever possible. There are two very good natural eczema remedies which can be very beneficial for the eczema symptoms around the eyes.
The first is to use a cream that contains vitamin E. This particular vitamin is very good for keeping skin healthy, so it is definitely worth trying.
The second is to use Aloe Vera. This plant has been used for hundreds of years as a method of keeping skin healthy. It can also reduce the swelling fairly quickly.
Because many people have become disillusioned with the inability of medicines to treat eczema successfully, natural remedies for eczema have become very popular, and can give excellent results. This is something that you should really look into whether you have eczema on eyelids ore any other form of eczema.

Puffy Eyes From Crying? Here's Some Solutions To Wipe Those Tears Away

7:11:00 AM
Most people have experience puffy eyes from crying. As your tear ducts produce tears, the sodium in the tears will cause your eyes to swell up. It is not actually the eye that becomes swollen, but the skin around your eyes including your eye lids. Not only is it uncomfortable, but it is also noticeable. Luckily, there are several remedies for puffy eyes that you can use.
How Long Will My Puffy Eyes From Crying Last?
How long do you have to endure those puffy eyes? Usually, the cure for puffy eyes is time. Your eyes need time to flush out the extra tears and to flush them. For most people, it only takes a few hours for them to get back to normal. If you go to sleep, though, just after crying, you can wake up to those puffy eyes because your eyelids were not moving to flush the eye clean.
How To Get Rid Of Puffy Eyes After Crying
There are many ways that you can reduce the puffy eyes that you are experiencing. You can try several of these solutions or all of them. But, remember, time is almost always a factor in lessening swollen eyes.
Water
Since your eyes need to flush themselves out, you need to increase the amount of water that you are drinking. This will help to remove anything that's in your system that shouldn't be, including puffy eyes.
Sleep
While sleeping right after crying isn't a good thing, after being up for several hours, a good night sleep is a great remedy for curing puffy eyes. That's because sleep allows the body to restore its balance and fluids. Once most of the puffiness is gone, get some sleep.
Cucumbers And Potatoes
Another helpful solution to your puffy eyes from crying is to place thin slices of cucumbers or potatoes over your closed eyes. Relax, lie down and allow them to sit there for several minutes, up to 15 minutes. These compresses will help to relieve the pain as well as the puffiness from your eyes.
Do You Need Medications?
In most cases, there is no reason to use any type of medication on puffy eyes. In fact, by the time most medications would kick in, the eyes will probably be back to normal. You can use eye creams and anti wrinkle creams to help reduce the effects of puffy eyes, but most of the time this too is not necessary.
Do you have puffy eyes from crying? Usually, this condition is one that will relieve itself far sooner then whatever you happen to be crying about. Take a few minutes to drink some extra clear fluids, get some rest and maybe try a few slices of your favorite vegetables to find relief from puffy eyes.

Under Eye Bags - 5 Tips to Eliminate Them Forever

7:51:00 PM
Do you have unsightly under eye bags? They make you look much older than your years, but you can get rid of them permanently, without surgery. Discover five tips in this article which will help.
In addition to making you look as if you're totally exhausted, dark marks and bags under your eyes are an indication that your health isn't up to par. Yes, you can get rid of your bags temporarily with surgery, but taking care of your health will remove the bags for good.
Here's how to take care of yourself so that your under eye bags gradually disappear.
1. Eat for Your Skin -- B Vitamins Help You Glow
Few people get sufficient B vitamins in their daily diet. One of the most important B vitamins when it comes to your skin is biotin, which is essential for the health of your skin, hair and nails. Eat more bananas and oatmeal to increase the quantity of biotin, so your body can repair skin damage.
Many creams are available which contain B vitamins: they add a glow to your skin, and they're good for you too -- but do remember that the best source of B vitamins is a good diet.
2. Less Alcohol, More Water
Alcohol dries out your skin. A night on the town and not enough water: result, instant under eye bags.
Water is vital to help your body to function efficiently, and it's easy to forget to drink plenty of water when you're out and about. Drink plenty of water so that toxins are flushed from your system: a bruised look under your eyes is a sign that your kidneys and liver need help.
3. Get More Sleep -- There's a Reason They Call It Beauty Sleep
Lack of sleep can also cause discoloring and bags under your eyes. Aim for at least seven hours of sleep a night. Your body conducts needed repairs as you sleep. If you don't get enough rest, more than your appearance will suffer.
4. Miracle Cure -- Green Tea Bags
Good food and plenty of rest will erase your under eye bags. But what if you want an instant fix? Here's one which works: green tea bags.
Save your green tea bags in the fridge. Before a night out, lie down for ten minutes with the cooled tea bags as a compress.
5. Is It Your Cosmetics? Go Fragrance-Free
The labels on many cosmetics read like a chemical factory's inventory. Who knows what those chemicals do to your skin, not to mention your health?
When you have under eye bags, your motto for cosmetics and skin care products should be: chemical and fragrance-free. Use natural skin care products until your bags have vanished!
