Homemade Recipes For Dry Eye Remedies

Castor Oil

It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for many years to prevent floaters cataracts and promote detoxification of the eye. Recent studies show that castor oil may also be able to treat dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. To use, apply two drops of castor oil to both eyes each night before bed.

Almond Oil With Castor Oil

Adding almond oil to castor oil may increase the nutrient content of the mixture. Almond oil contains a good source of vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant in the body to reduce inflammation, fight free radicals and boost the immune system. It is also a good source of hydrating monounsaturated fatty acids. To make, combine a half-teaspoon of almond oil with one half of a teaspoon of castor oil and apply the mixture under the eye before going to bed. It can also be applied directly to the eyelid.
