The problem of bags under the eyes is also known as “Blepharochalasis”. It is caused by factors such as aging, stress, improper sleep and so on. Allergies, climatic changes and heredity may also result in this problem.
Symptoms of this problem may include mild swelling or puffiness, loose skin and dark circles under the eyes. Various natural cures can be used to treat the problem.
Natural Cure For Bags Under Eyes
Parsley
Parsley is also known as ”Petroselinum Crispum”. The juice extracted from crushed parsley sprigs can be applied on the eyes with the help of cotton balls 2 to 3 times in a day to deal with the problem.
A face mask created with fresh parsley leaves can also be applied under the eyes to reduce the puffiness.
Facial Exercise Or Eye Massage
Practicing certain facial exercises can help in improving the blood circulation and reducing the problem of under eye bags. A gentle massage with fingers can also be done around the eyes (closed) to obtain the desired results.
Water
Water is one of the most effective natural cures for treating the problem. Adequate amount of water should be consumed on a daily basis to keep the body and skin hydrated. Intake of water may also help in removing the sodium from the body which may result in bags under eyes.
Metal Spoon
A metal spoon (chilled) can also be placed on the eyes to obtain relief from the problem. This remedy can be repeated several times in a day.
Vitamins
Intake of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E can also provide the desired results. Food items rich in above mentioned vitamins include watermelon, apple, tomato, lemon, cucumber and so on.
Diet
It has been observed that the excessive consumption of salt may result in the problem of under eye bags. Therefore, it is essential to reduce the intake of salt in order to obtain relief from the problem. The consumption of caffeinated, carbonated and alcoholic beverages should be reduced. Reduction in the consumption of packaged food items may also help in curing this problem.
Cucumber/Potato
Frozen cucumber/potato slices can be placed on the eyes for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce the problem of bags under eyes. Another option is to soak cotton balls in cucumber juice (chilled) and place them on the eyes for 15 to 20 minutes. It is advisable to wash the eyes with cold water after removing the cotton balls.
Chamomile
Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used in the treatment. A piece of cotton cloth can be dipped in the chamomile tea (after it has cooled down) and applied on the eyes several times in a day. The cloth should be removed after 8 to 10 minutes. Chilled chamomile tea bags can also be placed on the eyes for 20 to 30 minutes to obtain effective results.
Rest
Lack of sleep is considered as one of the factors responsible for the problem of bags under eyes. An individual should sleep for 7 to 8 hours on a daily basis to obtain relief from the symptoms.
