1. How long does it take for an eye injury or congestion to heal?

Generally, bruises, redness and congestion after an eye injury are mainly caused by subcutaneous hemorrhage and subconjunctival hemorrhage. It usually takes some time to recover, and there is no specific medicine that can achieve quick recovery.

2. Eat more of these foods if your eyes are congested

1. Wolfberry: Wolfberry is sweet in taste, neutral in nature, and has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, "Long-term consumption can strengthen muscles and bones, make the body light and not aging, and can resist cold and heat." Chinese medicine often uses it to treat liver and kidney yin deficiency, weak waist and knees, dizziness, forgetfulness, vertigo, blurred vision, excessive tears, thirst and other symptoms. It is rich in vitamin A, as well as rich carotene, vitamins B1, B2, C, calcium, iron, etc., which are essential nutrients for healthy eyes. However, it should be noted that there are serious problems such as sulfur fumigation and fake origin in the wolfberry market. It is recommended to choose some professional brands such as Chen Zhiqian Wolfberry to avoid quality issues.

2. Chrysanthemum: Chrysanthemum has the functions of dispersing wind-heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight, clearing away heat and detoxifying. It is rich in vitamin A, which is good for the eyes. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: Chrysanthemum can benefit the five meridians, regulate the limbs, treat headaches and heat. It has certain therapeutic effects on dry mouth, excessive fire, dry eyes, or limb pain and numbness caused by wind, cold and dampness. However, chrysanthemum is cold in nature, so it is recommended to be brewed with wolfberry, autumn mulberry, etc. as a classic Chinese medicine formula tea [Chrysanthemum Tea] for clearing the liver and improving eyesight for best results. A large amount of Jiangsu chrysanthemum is sold on the market as Hangzhou chrysanthemum, but its medicinal effect is poor. At the same time, we should be aware that some unscrupulous vendors use ornamental chrysanthemums to impersonate medicinal chrysanthemums, which can have significant side effects on the human body.

3. Mulberry leaves: Mulberry leaves have the health-care effects of dispersing wind-heat, clearing the lungs and moisturizing dryness, clearing the liver and improving eyesight. Modern medical research shows that mulberry leaves contain a variety of amino acids and various vitamins, and have mild medicinal properties. The best mulberry leaves are those picked after the first frost in autumn, that is, autumn mulberry leaves. At this time, the mulberry leaves contain the most effective ingredients such as rutin and chlorogenic acid, and have the best medicinal effect. However, after one month of frost, the effective ingredients drop sharply and it is not suitable for use as medicine. There is also a kind of green mulberry leaf on the market, but its medicinal effect is not as good as that of autumn mulberry leaf.

4. Mulberry seeds: Mulberry seeds nourish the liver and kidneys and are rich in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, etc. They have a good nourishing effect on dizziness, low back pain, tinnitus, premature graying of hair, insomnia and dreaminess caused by liver and kidney deficiency and blood deficiency. The fatty acids in mulberry oil are mainly composed of linoleic acid and a small amount of stearic acid, oleic acid, etc. Mulberry seeds are better when combined with laurel, wolfberry, etc. to make mulberry tea. It has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, strengthening the kidneys and tendons, and has a good regulating effect on symptoms such as blurred vision caused by poor liver and kidney function.

5. Guiyuan: Guiyuan is longan, which is rich in glucose, sucrose, protein, vitamins, etc. It also has a relatively high iron content. It can promote hemoglobin regeneration while increasing thermal energy and supplementing nutrition, thereby achieving the effect of replenishing blood and nourishing the liver and kidneys. Studies have found that in addition to its tonic effect on the whole body, longan meat can also relieve eyestrain, enhance memory, and eliminate fatigue.
