Spring is here, and many people are prone to dry skin and skin allergies. Some people also experience dry eyes, or even a little itchy. Although this phenomenon is quite common, many people cannot cure it with medication. Here I will share with you some tips for treating dry eyes in spring, I hope it will be helpful to you.

1. Itch but not redness: You can use sodium cromoglycate eye drops or nalidixic acid eye drops to relieve itching, reduce swelling and remove red blood streaks.

2. Red and itchy: You can use Houttuynia cordata eye drops, which have good heat-clearing and detoxifying effects, and are antibacterial and antiviral, and can deal with most conjunctivitis.

3. Dry eyes: You can drink some liver-clearing teas appropriately, such as chrysanthemum tea, wolfberry tea, etc.

4. Blurred vision: Using eye drops can forcibly relax the ciliary muscles and relieve fatigue. However, this eye drops will dilate the pupil for 3-4 hours, so it is best to use it before going to bed.

Most eye problems are related to liver blood deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood flows to the liver only when we rest, thereby preserving the liver's strength and nourishing the eyes. 11pm to 1am is the time when the liver and gallbladder meridians are most active. Staying up late beyond this time will damage the liver and gallbladder, and affect the eyes. It is recommended that you do eye exercises to relieve the poor blood circulation caused by eye fatigue, promote tear secretion, and relax eye muscles.

You can also use moist heat on your eyes. Apply a hot towel at about 60 degrees to your eyes for 20-30 minutes each time. It can moisten the eye surface, promote blood circulation, dredge meridians, and improve eyesight. It is very effective in relieving visual fatigue.

The eye-protecting function of bananas is primarily related to their rich potassium content. If the human body consumes too much salt, a large amount of water will be retained in the cells, causing redness and swelling of the eyes. The potassium in bananas can help the body excrete these excess salts, allowing the body to achieve potassium-sodium balance and relieve eye discomfort. The pupil eye patch uses wild chrysanthemum to clear away heat and detoxify, clear the liver and improve eyesight; Phellodendron chinense to clear away heat and dampness, purge fire and detoxify; Salvia miltiorrhiza to remove blood stasis and relieve pain. By applying it to the temples, it nourishes the ciliary ganglion, allowing the ciliary ganglion to better regulate vision and relieve dry and painful eyes. In addition, bananas contain a lot of beta-carotene.
