Tired Eyes: Natural Relief

How many times have you had to take breaks from your computer work because your eyes just wouldn't hold up? No matter how hard you try to keep at it, you just have to give in and step away from that screen.

There are also natural ways to rejuvenate and relieve your overworked eyes and help you stay at the computer longer.Here are two easy natural recipes which will definitely help you!

1. Frozen Cucumber Slices Trick!

What you'll need:

• A knife
• A cucumber
• Small, snack sized zip lock bags

Directions:

• Wash and slice cucumber
• Place the slices in zip lock bags

Tiny Tip:
Make sure you only put a few in each one so they'll lay flat and not freeze all clumped together. (Put only 2 in each small bag at a time and that is for one eye treatment at a time.)
And, that's it! Next time your eyes are burning, itching, and hurting like crazy, just make a short trip to the freezer for one of your bags. You can let them thaw a little. Then, just lean back in a relaxing position and place the slices over your eyes. For added relief, place a cool, folded wash cloth over your eyes as well (the cucumbers will be beneath the wash cloth) and leave them on for 5-15 minutes. You'll love how refreshing the cucumber is to your eyes. It's such a cool, rejuvenating experience!

2. Chamomile Tea Treat

What you’ll need:

• Organic chamomile tea (bags)
• Coffee or tea cup – even a small bowl will work
• Small saucer or lid to cover the tea cup (for steeping)
• Something to boil water in
• 1 cup of water

Directions:

• Place your clean bowl or cup on the counter
• Put the organic chamomile tea bag in
• Boil 1 cup of water
• Pour heated water over tea bag
• Cover it with the saucer or small lid and let it “steep” for 5-15 minutes
• Leaning over the sink, cup some of the tea in the palm of your hand and flush your eyes out. You can blink a few times to thoroughly wash the eyes.

Tiny Tip:
You could also run two of the tea bags under cool water or place them in a small container in the fridge with a little water. Use the cool chamomile tea bags to cover your eyes. This helps allergy eyes, swollen eyes, pink eye, etc.
