Remedies For Droopy Eyelids
Do you need remedies for droopy eyelids? When we have droopy eyelids, not only do we look much older than we really are, but we may look worse than usual. Statistics show that every year, more than a hundred thousand men and women around the world resort to surgery for drooping eyelids.
But don’t worry: if you’re one of the many people who can’t stand anesthesia very well or simply don’t like the idea of going under a scalpel, there are alternatives. In this article we present some remedies for droopy eyelids.
Fallen eyelids can be a constant problem, which gets worse as time goes on or a temporary one. Both the right and left eyes can be affected — often both at the same time!
If you have to frown or tilt your head back to see better, you are more likely to look more tired than you really are. Fallen eyelids can be congenital or can affect you when you are older.
Although drooping eyelids are not usually a serious health problem, we advise you to go to the doctor so as to make sure that you do not suffer from a much more worrying condition.
Why do my eyelids droop?
Fallen eyelids can have many causes: normal cellular aging, diabetes, a stroke, Horner’s syndrome (affecting the eye and facial nerves), a brain tumor or any other condition of the nervous or muscular system.
If you have droopy eyelids, the cause could be:
- Medical complications, such as myasthenia gravis, a neuromuscular condition that affects the muscles around the eyes and the nerves that control them.
- The natural aging process
- An abnormal variation of the eyelids
If you have drooping eyelids in one eye, the cause could be:
- A neoplasm at the level of the eye (it is similar to a jug)
- Medical complications
- An injury to a nerve
- The natural aging process
- An abnormal variation of the eyelids
Remedies for droopy eyelids
- Remedy no. 1: Cover your eyes with chamomile tea bags. Chamomile contains anti-inflammatory agents that can treat drooping eyelids. Keep the bags in the fridge before you cover your eyes with them, and while you try the treatment, try to stay relaxed for 20 minutes — the results will not be long in coming!
- Remedy no. 2: Prepare your own lotion for eye revitalization, using natural ingredients. It’s not hard at all: mix four tablespoons of plain yogurt with four tablespoons of aloe vera gel, two tablespoons of oatmeal and five slices of peeled cucumber, until you get a paste. Apply the paste on the eyelids and leave it to act for 20 minutes, and then rinse with cold water.
- Remedy no. 3: Cucumbers are an excellent remedy for drooping eyelids. Simply cover your eyes with two slices of chilled cucumber in the refrigerator and let them act for 15-20 minutes.
- Remedy no. 4: Ice water is also on the list of remedies for droopy eyelids. Wash your face with very cold water so that the skin around the eyes tightens.
- Remedy no. 5: Consume more grapes. Grapes have a rich content of resveratrol, which prevents or slows down the cellular aging process. Add more grapes to your daily diet and you will be able to enjoy all the benefits they offer you!
