What is a home remedy for itchy eyes during allergy season?

Answer 1

Having dry eyes can be caused by a number of things including aging, medical conditions, and environmental factors. Avoiding windy places and smoke can help you remedy the situation. Eating a diet rich in fatty acids may also help deal with the problem.

Answer 2

u can purchase eye drops at a local pharmacy type store or big box store that are called moisturizing eye drops. They are SUCH a major relief to the dryness. If the dryness continue you need to see an eye dr as there could be a bigger problem (i.e. clogged tear duct or simply an inability to make tears) there are multiple prescription drugs available to help your eyes maintain moisture levels. The drops I use are in a light greenish color.

Answer 3

Interestingly enough, eating honey that is harvested in your area is a natural allergy medicine. It has to do with the bees pollinating the local flowers which contribute to your allergy. It's something to think about.

Answer 4

Common home remedies to relieve red eye include placing a cold compress, rose water, cucumber slices, or green tea bags on eyes. Drinking more water to reduce dehydration is also a possible remedy.

Answer 5

A combination of hot and cold is always the best trick. Try applying an ice pack for a while, then a warm cloth and vice versa. Soaking the cloth in the herb witch hazel is a more unorthodox home remedy, as witch hazel is generally considered a good healing agent. Vitamin C, as well, helps to speed up the healing process.

Answer 6

One option available is the use of a saline solution eye drop. The symptoms can also be a sign of an allergic reaction, in which case an antihistamine will help with the itchy dry feeling.

Answer 7

Eyelids are composed of skin, and can be moisturized by any skin moisturizer (but use it carefully; you don't want to get it in your eyes).
