Hello, here are several effective methods to reduce eye swelling:
1. Use an ice pack or a cold towel: Wrap the ice pack in a thin cloth and apply it to the affected area around the eyes for 3–5 minutes. This helps constrict blood vessels and promotes swelling reduction. After 3–5 minutes, rest for 10 minutes, then reapply for another 3–5 minutes—repeat this cycle 3–4 times.
2. Soak cotton pads in chilled milk and place them over both eyelids. The cooling effect helps alleviate eyelid swelling.
3. Alternatively, slice chilled cucumber or other fruits thinly and place the slices over swollen eyelids before sleeping; noticeable reduction in swelling is typically observed by morning.
4. Applying cooled chrysanthemum tea or used (cooled) black tea bags around the eyes can also help reduce swelling.
We hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Wishing you a joyful and healthy life!
