what to do for eye swelling - #37563
I am really worried about this eye swelling that’s been bothering me. It started just a couple of days ago after I spent the whole day in front of my computer, like, without even a break. At first, I thought it was just fatigue, but it got worse. Now my right eyelid is kinda puffy, and it's not just a little bit—like, it looks like I've been stung by a bee or something. I've tried some cold compresses, but what to do for eye swelling besides that? I also noticed it kinda hurts when I blink, and there’s this weird itchiness too. Super frustrating! I don't wanna run to the doctor unless I have to, because you know how that goes with the long waits and all. Anyone experienced this before and can share what to do for eye swelling? Like, is there anything I can eat or any herbs from Ayurveda that might help? I’m thinking maybe I should change my diet a bit? Or do some eye exercises? Really hoping for some advice here before it gets worse, ugh! What to do for eye swelling? Any tips would be helpful!

First, it’s important to note that while Ayurveda offers effective remedies for many conditions, if the swelling continues getting worse or if there’s any significant pain or change in vision, consulting a medical professional should be priority. However, given your symptoms seem to be related to eye strain and inflammation, Ayurveda can indeed offer some guidance to help manage it.
Swelling and discomfort in the eye could be a result of pitta imbalance, mainly due to excessive heat and strain, like from extended screen time. To help soothe the irritation, try washing your eyes with cool, filtered water several times a day, both to cleanse and calm them. This will help in removing any toxins or irritants that might be exacerbatting the swelling.
Incorporate coriander seed water; soak one teaspoon of coriander seeds in a cup of water overnight, strain it, and use this water to gently rinse your eyes in the morning. Coriander is known for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for this kind of irritation.
For dietary modifications, focus on cooling foods which can help balance pitta. Include more salads, cucumbers, and water-rich fruits like watermelon. Avoid spicy, sour, or salty food that might intensify the heat. Ghee, used internally, can also be soothing—try having a teaspoonful in a warm cup of milk at night.
In terms of herbs, Triphala is wonderful for eye health. You can make an eyewash by soaking half a teaspoon of Triphala powder in a glass of water overnight, then straining it through a fine cloth in the morning. Use this strained liquid as an eye wash. Additionally, taking Triphala internally can aid in overall detoxification and balance.
For lifestyle, take frequent breaks from screen time. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Additionally, consider palming—rubbing your hands together to create warmth and gently cupping your eyes. This promotes relaxation and increases circulation.
Though these classical Ayurvedic suggestions might help, listen to your body and don’t shy away from seeking immediate medical attention if you feel the issue is worsening.
