Herbal Eye Treatments

Eye Compresses

Soak two pieces of lint in a cold infusion of the herb of your choice and squeeze out the drops. Place one piece over each eye for fifteen minutes, dampening the lint periodically as needed.


Eye Poultices

Pulp or finely chop the herb of your choice, dampen with water and place between two pieces of muslin for each eye. Place over the eyes for fifteen minutes. If you cannot get hold of the fresh herb of your choice, a used herbal teabag is a reasonable alternative.
