Home Remedy For Itchy Eyes Due To Allergies At Spring

An itchy eye is a very common problem. The problem worsens in a high-polluted environment or during allergy season.
For instant relief, you can try some easy-to-follow natural treatments. Many of these remedies use readily available ingredients from your kitchen.

1.   Cucumber Slices
This is one of the most common remedies which effectively treats eye irritation and inflammation. Cut two slices of cucumber, place in ice cold water for 10 minutes and place them on your closed eyelids for 10 more minutes. The cool cucumber soothes your eyes. Closing and resting your eyes also helps reduce soreness.

2.   Cold Compress

Applying cold compresses around the affected eye area can help you to get instant relief. The simplest way to do this is to soak a cloth in ice cold water and place it over your eyes. Do this several times a day.

3.   Chamomile tea bags 
Used as cold compresses can also help relieve itching eyes.

Put used chamomile tea bags in the refrigerator for half an hour.
Place the chilled tea bags over the affected eye(s) for at least 10 minutes.
Do this three to four times a day for fast recovery.

4.   Warm Milk and Honey

Honey has amazing anti-bacterial properties. Making an eyewash with warm milk and honey can help to soothe and treat conjunctivitis. Use equal parts of both honey and milk, making sure the milk is warm (not boiling). Mix together the remedy and keep stirring until the honey becomes smooth in the milk. Use an eyedropper and drop 2-3 drops into your eye several times a day. Alternatively, you can use this mixture as a compress. The anti-bacterial properties in the honey and the soothing effects of the milk will start to work immediately.

5.   Water and Salt

Water and salt are easily available and helpful in treating painful and itchy eyes. When used as an eye rinse, the combination is good for irritated and inflamed eyes and helps wash away the debris collected in the eyes. Plus, salt being an antibacterial agent kills bacteria.
Make a natural eye wash by mixing a cup of distilled water with one teaspoon of salt. Boil the solution until the salt dissolves completely.
Allow the solution to cool and then use it to flush the eyes.
   
6.   Rose Water

Rose water is also helpful when a person has sore eyes. The procedure is simple, just take a cotton ball soaked in rose water and place it over the eyes. This will provide immediate relief and most of the burning will be gone after about five minutes.

7.   Green Tea

Green tea has many health benefits including providing relief from itchy eyes. It soothes the eyes and has anti-inflammatory benefits.
Make an eye wash by boiling two green tea bags in one cup of distilled water. Allow it to cool completely.
 Flush the eyes twice a day with the solution until your symptoms subside.
