How to quickly reduce swelling in eyes? The method is very simple

Redness and swelling of the eyes can affect one's physical health. Generally, if people cry or hang out, or drink too much water at night, their eyes will easily become red and swollen the next day. At this time, we can use a small amount of salt to wash the face to achieve a swelling effect. Another way is to massage the eyes after washing the face. The clockwise circle method can quickly reduce swelling. In addition, wiping the eyes with milk or salt water is also very effective.

Sometimes we cry because we are sad or stay up late and don’t sleep well, and these “masterpieces” will show in our eyes the next day. My eyes were so swollen that it was difficult to even open them. I dared not go out. How could I describe my sorrow in this situation? Next, let’s look at some ways to reduce swelling.

method

Eat a light diet and consume less salt

You should pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid eating foods with strong flavors. Excessive salt intake will cause water to be retained in the body, resulting in edema.

Sleep with a raised pillow

If you sleep with a high pillow, it can effectively prevent water accumulation in the eyes and cause swelling.

Wipe your eyes with milk or salt water

Use a cotton swab dipped in a little diluted saline to rub around the eyes to 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. After the eyelid swelling subsides, you can also directly apply cold milk for a cold compress.

Ice pack and egg roll

If your eyes are swollen, you can apply an ice bag to your eyes, or you can wrap ice cubes in a towel and apply them directly for 3-5 minutes. This can constrict blood vessels and help reduce swelling in the eyes. Then, let the boiled eggs cool down, peel them and roll them on your eyelids.

Don't drink too much water before going to bed

Don’t drink too much water before going to bed, as the water will be stored in the body and your eyes will swell the next day.

Eye massage

Massaging the lymph nodes can reduce swelling.

Step 1: Use your middle finger and ring finger to press above the eye socket, and repeat 3 times from the corner of the eye to the end of the eye. This can effectively relax tense muscles.

Step 2: Use your index and middle fingers to slide and massage in small circles from the end of the eye to the corner of the eye. Repeat 5 times.

Step 3: Starting from the corner of the lower eyelid, press in a counterclockwise direction in small circles.

Black tea bag for eyes

Don't throw away the used black tea bag in a hurry. Let it cool and use it to apply to your eyes or wrap the cold tea bag with a towel and apply it to your eyes for 5 minutes. Because the tannic acid contained in tea is a good astringent and can effectively reduce swelling. But never put the tea bag directly on your eyelids, otherwise it will dye your eyelids yellow, and the tannic acid will irritate your eyes and cause discomfort. Don't rub it, otherwise it will make your eyes redder and more swollen. Applying cold compresses to both eyes 3 to 4 times can effectively eliminate eye puffiness.

Alternate hot and cold water compresses on eyes

First apply a hot towel to your eyes, then apply an iced towel, repeat three times, and keep applying it for 15 minutes to effectively eliminate eye swelling. Because alternating hot and cold eye compresses can promote blood circulation in the eye skin, thereby helping the eye skin to drain excess water and achieve the purpose of eliminating eye edema. Be careful with hot compresses.
