Massaging: Gently massage your eyelids and around the eyebrows with your fingers for 20 seconds 2-3 times a day. Massaging at regular intervals not only relaxes the eye muscles but also improves blood circulation.
Palming: This technique is popular in yoga to treat eye ailments. Rub your palms to warm them. Now gently place your palms on your eyes for 2-3 minutes and relax. Palming gives your eyes and the muscles the much needed rest from bright light.
Cold milk: Strained eyes can be cooled down and relaxed by placing cotton or wash cloth soaked in cold milk over them. Place it on your eyes for 4-5 minutes and relax. If you are at work, you can use cold water instead of milk. A cold compress shrinks the blood vessels around the eyes, thereby reducing puffiness caused due to fatigue. Did you know cold milk can lighten dark circles too?
