Ayurveda tips for eye health during Macular Degeneration<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n- Take breaks from work. If you have to strain your eyes a lot, be it working at a computer or while driving, take a break every hour or two to give your eyes a rest.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Protective screen. Equip your monitor with a protective screen to block harmful radiation and eliminate glare.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Change the focus of your eyes. If you are reading a lot, stop for a minute or two, and look at some distant object. Close the book every half hour and look at something across the room or outside the window. Giving your eyes a different job is helpful and helps prevent irritation.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Rosewater. Add five drops of pure rose water to 25-30 ml of distilled or purified water, and rinse your eyes with this solution. Make sure that the water is not too hot or cold. Rinsing the eyes with this solution will quickly relieve any irritation.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Rinse eyes with water. Rinsing your eyes with clean water can also help relieve irritation. As with washing your face, splash water on your face, opening your eyes for a moment to get some water into them. You can also use a special eyewash cup for this.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Castor oil. Castor oil is a simple and very effective remedy for eye irritation. Put one drop of pure, preservative-free, real castor oil into your eyes before bed, and rub some castor oil into the soles of your feet (remember to wear old socks to keep the sheets from getting dirty).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Rinsing with cold water:- In the early morning, when washing your face, fill your mouth with cold water and at the same time splash cold water into your open eyes. Traditionally, it is a belief that when you spray cold water into your eyes, you need to keep the water in your mouth. It gives a double cooling effect and will leave the eyes alert, refreshed, and clean.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Another effective way to keep your eyes healthy is to do the Sun Salutation regularly. The 12 sets of Sun Salutation is the best exercise for strengthening the eyes and healing the whole body.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
