Eye Care

A warm, lightly salted water bath is the most soothing treatment for sore eyes. To make a water bath, dissolve one teaspoon of salt in 500 ml of water. Allow the liquid to cool. Apply to your eyes using an eye-cup, a cupped hand, an eye-dropper or a dab of cotton wool. Blink the liquid around your eyes.

   Add three teaspoons of tea leaves to 150 ml of warm water. Dab the solution onto your eyes using a cotton ball.

   Use grated raw potato. Put grated potato between two layers of gauze or fine cotton and place over your eyes. Lie down for 15 minutes for best results.

   Condition your eyelashes from time to time by applying a little almond or olive - oil to them.
