Homemade Recipes For Dry Eye Remedies

Cold Milk

Some research shows that applying cold milk to the eyes can help reduce dryness and irritation. The cold temperature of the milk will contribute to relieving swelling while its high nutrient content should provide relief. To use, soak two cotton balls in a cup of cold milk. Add some rose water if possible for added nutrients. Apply the cotton balls to the eyes and let sit for ten minutes. Rinse the eyelids with warm water and pat dry.

Warm Water And Baking Soda

Baking soda is an alkaline powder that can be used to restore the pH level of dry eyes that may be irritated due to harsh conditions, infection or disease. It has been used to neutralize acids, fight disease, restore alkalinity, reduce inflammation and kill germs. To make, combine a half-cup of water with a quarter-teaspoon of baking soda. Mix well and use the mixture as an eye wash or soak a washcloth in the mixture and apply directly to the eyes.
