Solutions for Puffy Eyes

My mother taught me that moist tea bags work wonders.With your eyes closed. Place moistened,warm (not hot)tea bag on each eyelid. You can use a regular black tea or a chamomile tea bag.You can also take several  chamomile tea bags, Moisten them in cold water and refrigerate them. If you wake up with swollen or puffy eyes, just apply a chilled bag to your eyes.

• A slice of cucumber on each eye is refreshing
• Slices of cucumber soaked in milk combat puffiness.
• Slices of potato wrapped in gauze work well on puffy eyes .
• Cotton Pads or balls soaked in witch hazel and left on your eyelids for 10 minutes relieve puffiness,eye fatigue, and eye strain.
• A stiffly beaten egg white applied to the face or under the eyes with a brush will reduce puffiness. You can add a few drops of witch hazel,which also reduces swelling,to help keep the egg white from drying too quickly.
• Get Plenty of Sleep at least eight hours per night.
• Take GlA (gamma-linolenic acid), like flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil,or borage oil internally any of these oils can act as an anti-inflammatories.

Semi Bath

In the Nineteenth century ,Father Kneipp, a Swiss expert on hydrotherapy and herbs,suggested a three- to five minute cold bath. He encouraged his clients to kneel so the water covered the thighs, or to sit so the water reached up to the stomach. The semi-bath is not only a sleep aid; it also can act as a morning-after antidote to a poor night's rest.
