Can geranium (herb) eliminate puffy eyes?

Geranium (Geranium wilfordii) can usually help reduce puffy eyes to some extent, although its effectiveness may vary from person to person. If any physical discomfort occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital as soon as possible and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.

Geranium possesses certain anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and detoxifying properties. For mild eye swelling caused by inflammation, such as allergic eyelid conjunctivitis or minor eye infections, using decocted geranium water to wash the eyes or applying it as an eye ointment may help alleviate symptoms of swelling, redness, and pain.

Puffy eyes can be caused by various factors, including lack of sleep, eye infections, and allergic reactions. Geranium may have a certain degree of decongestant effect on swelling caused by inflammation or blood stasis. However, it should be noted that geranium is not a specific medication for treating eye swelling, and its effectiveness may vary individually. Prior to using geranium, it is important to consult an ophthalmologist or qualified traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to ensure the safety and efficacy of the treatment.

Appropriate treatment measures should be taken according to the different causes of puffy eyes in order to relieve symptoms more quickly and restore eye health. Maintain a light diet and ensure proper eye hygiene to promote recovery.
