'Eyes' are an important part of our body and are used for seeing beautiful sights. Poets often use words like 'Meenakshi', 'Kamalnayan' as synonyms for beautiful eyes. There is a great emphasis on the beauty of 'deep eyes' in their writings.
Many unspoken emotions are expressed through the eyes. Even small children can convey their feelings by looking at their mother. Sadness or worry is visible in the eyes. If we are sick or about to fall ill, we first notice it in our eyes. Beautiful and sparkling eyes are a sign of health and beauty.
Why do eyes become dull?
Mental stress, insufficient sleep, friendship with mobile and computer, unbalanced diet, and defects in blood circulation can cause the eyes to become dull. Dust, smoke, and pollution are unavoidable external factors that also affect the eyes, leading to strain and dullness. Fatty foods and excessive intake of salt and protein also have an impact on the eyes. If there is a deficiency of water in the body, it creates obstacles in blood flow and the functioning of the tear glands, and the eyes appear dull.
How to Rest Your Eyes?
Just like the muscles in our body get tired from working, our eyes also experience fatigue and lack of freshness due to various reasons. Here are some ways to alleviate eye strain:
* Splash clean water on your eyes two to three times a day. The coolness of the water will relax the tension in your eyes. After washing, gently pat your face dry with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid rubbing.
* Place round slices of cucumber on your eyelids. The coolness of the cucumber will soothe the nerves and muscles around the eyes. It will feel pleasant and improve blood circulation.
* Go out into the open air and look at the surrounding greenery, birds, mountains (if any), small children, playing children, different types of flowers, flower gardens, and fruits. It feels refreshing to the eyes.
* Sit in a comfortable position. Close your eyes. Place the palm of your right hand over your right eye and the palm of your left hand over your left eye. Do not apply pressure. Keep both elbows resting on your knees in this position. Look towards the darkness with your closed eyes. The darkness will increase, and the tension in the muscles around the eyes will be reduced.
How to Increase Eyesight?
* For increasing eyesight, regular eye exercises are necessary. Even while reading, if the eyes feel strained, close them and bring the neck back to its original position.
* Keeping the head still, slowly rotate the eyes upwards and downwards six times. Take a short break and repeat this two to three times.
* Also, perform the same action by rotating the eyes to the right and left.
* Hold your index finger about eight inches in front of your eyes. Focus on a distant object like a door or a window, and then immediately focus on your index finger. Do this ten times quickly.
* Move your head to the right and then to the left six times slowly. Then, move it forward and backward.
* After working on the computer for a long time, take a break from it for some time. Splash cold water on your eyes.
* Warm a little oil and gently massage around your eyes with your middle finger in a circular motion. The skin around the eyes is delicate. Massage from the nose towards the temples and then back towards the nose in a light circular motion.
* Mix castor oil with breast milk and apply it around the eyes and eyelashes. To keep the eyes cool
* Soak one teaspoon of triphala powder in a glass of water overnight. In the morning, strain this water and wash your eyes with it.
* If you soak cotton pads in lukewarm water with a little salt added and place them on your eyelids, the swelling of the eyes reduces.
* Use good quality of goggles while going in sun.(continued)
