Solutions for Tired Eyes

Tired eyes can have a wide range of causes.

Itchy or tired eyes can be the result of many different factors, including allergies, eyestrain, fatigue and infection (conjunctivitis). Sometimes solutions for tired eyes need to be geared to the cause but there are also a number of simple tricks and tips than can help.

Here are some simple solutions to ease tired eyes
  • local warmth - clasp your hands together lightly and interlock your fingers (as if praying) - dont squeeze the hands together. Rub your hands against one another quickly - producing friction and thus warmth in the fleshy pads at the base of your thumbs. When you feel real heat, separate your hands and place these warmed thumb pads over your gently closed eyes - the heat is really soothing. Very simple but works every time!
  • Boil some tea in a little water and let it cool. Dip 2 gauzes in this brew and place the gauzes on each eye for 15 minutes. Make sure you keep dipping the cotton wads into the liquid, as soon as gauzes dry up. Effective treatment for tired eyes
  • Lavender oil offers gentle relief for tired and strained eyes. Add a drop of lender oil to 500 ml (2 ½ cups) of water and shake the solution well.
    Dip two cotton wool pads in the liquid, squeeze out the excess water and place one pad over each eye.

These solutions for tired eyes are not full proof but they do offer a quick fix and can work wonders at times.
