Some people may wonder, in fact, hot eggs can be used to reduce swelling, but the method to reduce swelling is to apply cold compress first and then hot compress.

1. Can applying eggs to the eyes reduce swelling?

The specific method is to use a peeled cooked egg and gently roll and press on the injured area, being careful not to break the egg. It can be replaced after about ten minutes.

The principle of egg swelling reduction:

1. Since the main component of egg white is protein, during the massage process, its nutrients can be directly absorbed by the skin through the pores, nourishing the skin, clearing away heat and reducing swelling.

2. It can also be understood as using appropriate high temperature to activate blood circulation and help reduce swelling, because freshly cooked eggs with skins have high heat preservation properties and are not easy to cool down immediately. The temperature between the two and its softness and hardness after peeling are very suitable for helping to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling in traumatic injuries.

3. After the egg massage, apply a cold towel for a few minutes. The freshly cooked eggs will promote the dilation of local skin blood vessels and enhance blood circulation. Applying a cold towel on the face can shrink the pores and blood vessels. The relaxation and contraction will make the skin shiny and elastic.

2. What are the methods to reduce eye swelling?

1. Apply a cotton swab dipped in salt water or milk to the eyelids

Massage with a cotton swab dipped in diluted salt water can help relieve edema of the eye skin. You can also use a cotton swab dipped in ice milk and apply it on your eyelids for ten minutes. It feels cool and the swelling of your eyelids will go down after application. I believe you will also feel refreshed! You can also use frozen milk to cool down puffy eyes.

2. Saline eye compress

Using the principle of high osmotic pressure, highly concentrated saline is applied to the eyes, forcing the water in the eyes to drain out of the eyes. It is important to control the temperature when applying hot compress so as not to burn the eyes and skin.

Operation method: Apply salt water to the eyes. Put a teaspoon of salt in 500 ml of warm water (40° is enough) and stir it evenly. Soak the gauze in salt water and allow it to fully absorb the salt water. Then fold the gauze into an appropriate size and apply it on your eyes for 20 minutes.
