However, many modern women often do not pay enough attention to this, and some of them stare at the computer for a long time at work. After get off work, they do not allow their eyes to get enough rest, but instead relax by watching TV, playing computer games, etc. Such long-term excessive use of the eyes will inevitably damage the liver blood, make the eyes tired, and even affect sleep due to excessive concentration.

Closing the eyes frequently can effectively relieve fatigue and have a relaxing effect. It is also helpful for nourishing liver blood.

Chinese medicine relieves eye fatigue

1. Massage moderately. It can relieve eye pressure and allow the muscles around the eyes to get the rest they deserve. Workers who use their eyes frequently at close range should close their eyes and rest for 5 minutes every 1-2 hours. You can press lightly on the eyeball with your middle finger and gently massage along the contour of the hemisphere.

2. Tap your eyes lightly. First, put the five fingers of both hands together, and then rub your palms together until they become warm. Close your eyes slightly and use your hollow palms to lightly place your hot palms over your eyes. After about 3 minutes, take your palms away from your eyes and slowly open your eyes. You will immediately feel your eyes are clear and bright.

3. Acupressure and massage the area around the eyes. Start by moving your fingers slowly over the eyes, from the corners of the eyes toward the ends. Use the tip of your thumb to massage your temples, taking a deep breath each time you massage your temples. Then, place your middle finger at the end of your eye and gently lift and massage toward the outside. Finally, place your fingers under your eyes, slowly move from the end of the eye to the corner of the eye, and press the eyelids with the pads of your index and middle fingers (or middle and ring fingers).

4. Massage cheeks and eyebrows. First, use your middle and ring fingers to massage the area just above your eyebrows in circular motions with a little force. Then, massage in circular motions above the cheekbones. Both steps should take about 3 minutes on average.
