Taking Care of Eyes

Although we use our eyes everyday, we rarely pay attention to them until there

is some serious problem. You can maintain perfect eyesight for most of your life

by following some simple remedies.

 

An Important Aspect of Health

If you were asked, " Do you take care of your eyes once a week or at least once a

month? " , the most common reply would probably be in the negative. The eyes are

considered to tbe the most important organ in ourt body and yet, people neglect

to care for them.

 

Although we use our eyes everyday, we rarely pay attention until there is some

serious problem. Ayurveda advises to take care of health while in a healthy

state. You can maintain perfect eyesight for most part of your life by following

some simple remedies.

Every morning after waking up, fill your mouth with water, close the eyes and

sprinkle water on them about 10-15 times. Be sure, as Ayurveda advises, to wake

up before sunrise. Do not use hot water to wash the eyes.

 

 

Do not wash the eyes or face when the body is sweating, especially after hard

physical exercise or after being exposed to heat and sun.

 

 

Do not stare continuously, specially while looking at long distance objects.

Blinking or giving rest to the eyes is good. Do not look at the objects in

bright sunlight for a long time. Avoid reading, writing or working with eyes in

improper light, or when the light is not sufficient. Take a break and give rest

to the eyes if you feel heaviness or tiredness in the eyes. Night Driving Car is

totally avoidable.

 

 

Staying up late in the night and sleeping after sunrise is harmful for the

eyes. In case of staying up late, drink a cup of water after each hour or half

hour.

 

 

Protect your eyes from dust, smoke, strong sunlight and strong wind. Avoid

staying long in such conditions. In case you have to stay, blink often and

massage the closed eyes gently with your palms.

 

 

Try to maintain regular and clean bowel movements. Constipation weakens the

eyesight. In addition; too much anxiety, mental stress, grief, anger and worry

are harmful for the eyes.

 

 

Regular eye exercise maintains perfect eyesight. One simple method of

exercise is moving the eyeball - right and left; upwards and downwards and

rotating it in the clockwise and anti-clockwise directions.

 

 

Another simple way of protecting of eyes is through 'palming'. Rub the palms

of both hands for about 30 seconds, close the eyes and gently place the warm

palms over the eyes.

 

 

Eating cabbage and carrots is very beneficial for the eyes. These should be

eaten raw. It is all right to drink cabbage and carrot juice mixed together or

separately.

 

 

If Triphala (an Ayurvedic preparation) is available, you can wash the eyes

with 'Triphala water'. Put a teaspoonful of Triphala powder in a glass of water,

and let it stay overnight. Strain the water and wash the eyes with it.

 

 

Putting one drop of honey in each eye once a week is also beneficial to the

eyes. It causes a bit of irritation, but cleans the eyes.

Try these remedies and keep your eyes healthy and beautiful. These remedies can

be used by everyone, including those having weak eyesight. Through these

methods, one can even improve one's weak eyesight and maybe even give up the use

of spectacles forever.
