TIRED EYES---
'Tired eyes' is one of the problems frequently occurring in the present-day world. In this condition, along with puffiness around the eyes, a person also suffers from
heaviness in the head. Lack of sleep is one of the primary causes of tired eyes. Other causes include allergy, eyestrain, fatigue, conjunctivitis, excessive crying,
inadequate supply of oxygen to the cornea and pollution. Its symptoms are heaviness in eyes, burning sensation, irritation and redness of the eyes. Tired eyes can,
however, be treated at home, using the natural ways. In the following lines, we have provided some useful home remedies for curing tired eyes.
HOME REMEDIES---
:One of the simplest home remedies for tired eyes would be to place two spoons in the freezer. Take them out when they are cold and place them under the eyes to reduce puffiness. Do not freeze the spoons.
:Another effective method would be to dip cotton balls in TEA WATER. Place the cotton on the eyelids and leave it there for sometime.
:Take a CUCUMBER and cut it into slices. Place the sliced cucumber on your eyelids, to get relief from the puffiness.
:An effective option would be to wash the eyes regularly with COLD WATER. This would help the eyes relax and also remove any kind of tiredness.
:In a small bowl of COLD MILK, dip a cotton ball and place it over the eyelids. This would remove all the puffiness.
:In a bowl of water, add a few drops of LAVENDER OIL. Soak a cotton ball in this and place it over the eyelids.
;Soak a cotton ball in a bowl, containing water, and a few drops of perfume. Keep the soaked cotton on your eyelids, for a few minutes.

:Boil 2 cups of water. In it, add a small amount of BORIC ACID. Once cooled, use the solution to wash the eyes for quick relief.
HOMEOPATHIC CURE---
ACONITE - 6C: When there is irritation from foreign matter in the eye, Aconite napellus may bring relief from pain, watering, and heightened sensitivity to light. Aconite napellus 6C can be taken three to four times per day, and discontinued when the discomfort stops.
APIS - 6C: This remedy may be helpful in cases of rapid onset of very watery, burning, and stinging eyes. Symptoms are puffy eyelids and sensitivity to light. Apis mellifica is useful for symptoms caused by bright light (for example, snow blindness). Apis mellifica 6c can be taken in the amount of one dose every hour, up to six doses, then three times daily; its use should be reduced when improvement is noted.
ARNICA - 6C: If the eyes feel sore and bruised, especially after time spent looking off into the distance, then both rest and Arnica may offer some relief. The muscles of the eyes may ache and feel tired. Arnica 6C can be taken two to three times, a few hours apart, discontinuing as symptoms improve.
RUTA - 6C: Ruta graveolens is most likely to be helpful in cases of eye strain where the eyes burn and water after long periods of visual effort, such as reading, computer work, or embroidery. The eyelids may become somewhat swollen and itchy, and the eyes may be more sensitive to light than usual. Ruta graveolens 6C can be taken two to three times, a few hours apart, continuing only as long as symptoms persist.
HOMEOPATHY DOSAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Select the remedy that most closely matches the symptoms. In conditions where self-treatment is appropriate, unless otherwise directed by a health care provider, a lower potency (6X, 6C, 12X, 12C, 30X, or 30C) should be used. In addition, instructions for use are usually printed on the label.
Many homeopathic health care providers suggest that remedies be used as follows: Take one dose and wait for a response. If improvement is seen, continue to wait and
let the remedy work. If improvement lags significantly or has clearly stopped, another dose may be taken. The frequency of dosage varies with the condition and the
individual. Sometimes a dose may be required several times an hour; other times a dose may be indicated several times a day; and in some situations, one dose per day
(or less) can be sufficient.
If no response is seen within a reasonable amount of time, select a different remedy.
