What should I do if I have excessive eye mucus due to inflammation

Getting angry will show symptoms of excessive eye mucus, so we can help treat and improve the situation through diet in our daily life. For example, bitter melon, celery, and chrysanthemum, etc., are very effective in helping to reduce internal heat and improve the problem of excessive eye mucus.

1. Bitter Melon:

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bitter melon has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving restlessness. Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, praised it for its ability to "clear the mind, improve eyesight, invigorate qi and relieve fever." The bitterness of bitter melon is pure and natural. It has a unique bitter ingredient that can relieve heat, making it especially suitable for consumption in summer.

But what if you don’t like the bitter taste of bitter melon? You can cut the bitter melon into slices before cooking, soak it in salt water and squeeze out the water to reduce its bitterness.

2. Celery:

Celery has the effect of lowering blood pressure and blood lipids. Because their roots, stems, leaves and seeds can be used as medicine, they are known as "medicine in the kitchen" and "medicinal celery". Because celery is high in calcium and phosphorus, it has a certain calming and blood vessel protecting effect, and can also strengthen bones. However, celery is cool and slippery in nature, so people with weak spleen and stomach should eat less.

Celery can be stir-fried, mixed raw, made into soup, or made into a drink. When buying celery, you should choose celery with short and thick stems and sparse green leaves. Celery leaves contain more carotene and vitamin C than the stems, so don't throw away the edible young leaves when eating them. If you blanch the celery and then rinse it with cold water, it will not only make the color more green, but also reduce the cooking time.

3. Chrysanthemum:

Also known as bitter vegetable, it mainly contains nutrients such as carbohydrates, B vitamins, vitamin C and minerals. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bitter herbs are bitter and cold in nature, and have antibacterial, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and eyesight-improving effects.

The taste of bitter chrysanthemum is slightly bitter and the color is green. It can be stir-fried or eaten cold, and is especially suitable for consumption in summer.

4. Golden Lotus:

It is not suitable for long-term drinking and is only suitable for people with mild sore throat. It can be drunk alone as a substitute for tea, or it can be drunk with tea leaves, wolfberries, American ginseng slices, or lotus seeds.
