how to stop watery eyes home remedies - #37520
I am really struggling with this annoying problem of watery eyes lately! It kinda started a few months ago, and I didn’t think much of it at first. But now it’s like, every time I go outside or even in the house when the AC is running, my eyes just start watering like crazy! I can’t figure out what’s causing it — maybe it’s allergies? Or dry air? I even tried over-the-counter eye drops but they just feel like a temporary fix, you know? Also, I've noticed my eyes getting red and itchy sometimes, which just adds to the frustration, ugh. I’ve read a bit online about how to stop watery eyes with home remedies, but nothing really stands out. Like, do things like warm compresses really help? Or maybe certain herbal teas? If there's anyone out there who has experience with this, I could use some advice on *how to stop watery eyes home remedies* that actually work! I’m willing to try anything at this point. Anyone had luck with natural approaches? I’m just curious if there are simple, easy-to-do things I can try that won't make my situation worse! Thanks in advance for any tips!

Watery eyes can be quite bothersome, but from an Ayurvedic perspective, they often point to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha coupled with Vata disturbances like excess dryness or irritants in the air. This imbalance can lead to symptoms such as redness, itchiness, and the watering you describe. Let’s delve into some home remedies that can help you without making it worse.
First, consider Triphala wash. Triphala, a combination of three fruits, is renowned in Ayurveda for its eye health benefits. You could make a mild Triphala tea, let it cool, and use it as an eyewash once a day. Ensure it’s clean, freshly prepared, and cooled enough before applying to your eyes.
A warm compress can be beneficial as it helps soothe the eyes by reducing dryness and improves tear secretion balance. Simply soak a clean cloth in warm water, squeeze out excess water, and gently place it over closed eyes for about 10 minutes. This simple practice not only relieves watering but also addresses redness and itchiness.
Kutaja (Holarrhena antidysenterica) herbal tea, taken twice daily, could aid a bit in reducing allergic responses, often a culprit for eye watering. This herb is known for its soothing effects on ‘Pitta’ and can be easily made by boiling a teaspoon in water for 5-7 minutes.
Ghee (clarified butter) is another effective remedy for soothing eyes. Place a drop of lukewarm, pure cow’s ghee in each eye every night before sleep. This can help lubricate the eyes, minimizing redness and irritation.
However, it’s crucial to address any external factors as well. Ensuring your living space is free from dust, using a humidifier to deal with dry air, and wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes from allergens outdoors are additional, practical steps you can take.
If these remedies don’t alleviate your symptoms, it’s important to consider consulting with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. Natural remedies are valuable, but they work best when integrated into an approach that includes professional guidance. Always proceed with care and mindfulness towards your body’s responses.
