Eye puffiness, also known as "puffy eyes" or swelling around the eyes, refers to appearance of swelling in the tissues around the eyes called orbits. Eye puffiness is usually caused by fluid build up. Eye puffiness can be reduced by simply changing the diet and lifestyles under the guidance of a physician. A cold compress near the eye can act as a short term remedy as cold temperature constricts blood vessels preventing the flow of fluid into tissues and diminishing puffiness in the process. A natural astringent such as sliced cucumber can also provide short term relief.
Some simple natural home remedies that work for eye puffiness are:
A cold water splash: A splash of cold water on your face and on your eyes gives instant relief from eye puffiness.
Try tea bags: Moisten two tea bags with cold water and rest with them on your closed eyes for 15 minutes. The tannin in the tea may help pull the skin taut and reduce the puffiness." The main factor is the coolness which reduces swelling.
Tap the eye: Lightly tapping your upper and lower lids helps nudge fluid away from the eyes. With a very light touch and using fingertips only, gently tap puffy areas on upper and lower lids.
Natural remedy for puffy eyes using lavender or rose water: one drop each of essential oils of lavender or rose water and lemon to 1 teaspoon of boiled water used to bathe the eyes externally reduces puffy eyes.
Similarly eat food which is rich in vitamin A and carotene like cod liver oil; and papaya that will help a lot.
