Rose Water Aloe Vera Jail: 7 Top Ayurveda Secrets to save your eyes from heatwave this summer

This year, the heat conditions have become a cause of concern in early April, increasing the temperature above normal in many areas. Heatwaves are a common problem in India during the summer months – especially from April to the end of June – and more prominent in the northern, central and western parts of the country.

To stay safe during this time, it is necessary to stay well hydrated, avoid direct contact with the sun and wear light, breathing clothes. While most people focus on protecting their body, it is equally important to take care of the eyes.

Heatwaves can lead to many eye issues such as irritation, dryness, redness, allergies and temporary vision discomfort.

Eye problems due to heatwave

Dr. Director of Basu Eye Care Center, Dr. Mandeep Singh Basu revealed the following issues related to increased eyes during the summer:

1. Dry eye – Due to excessive heat and lack of water, the moisture of the eye starts disappearing.
2. Eye irritation and redness – Eyes turn red and many people also feel irritated in the eyes.
3. Photofobia (sensitivity to light) – Due to excessive sunlight, the eyes lose their ability to bear sunlight or bright light.
4. Conjunctivitis (eye allergy or infection) – The risk of viral infection and bacterial infection increases during summer days.
5. Blurred vision – Sometimes, due to low water consumption during summer days or due to excessive heat, eye vision can be blurred.

Ayurvedic remedies to protect the eyes from heat

Dr. Mandeep Singh Basu suggested the following Ayurvedic treatment to protect his eyes from the wave of heat:

1. Tripla Eye Wash – Soaking Tripla powder in water overnight and washing eyes with that water in the morning reduces dryness and irritation.
2. Rose water – Use rose water to cool the eyes.
3. Cool sandalwood paste – making a paste of sandalwood powder and rose water and applying it on the forehead gives the eyes cool.
4. Aloe Vera Gel – Applying Aloe Vera Gel near the eyes provides relief from dryness and irritation.
5. Ghirita Netra Tarpan – Netra Tarpan is a remedy in Ayurveda that provides nutrition and coolness to the eyes.
6. Cucumber and bundle compressed – keeping slices of cold cucumber on the eyes provides cooling effect.
7. Take care of hydration – Drink coconut water, mango emerald and cold syrup so that the body remains hydrated.

Dr. Mandeep Singh Basu said that due to excessive heat and lack of water, problems such as irritation, dryness, redness and even blurred eyesight are increased. He advised, “In such a situation, being hydrated to protect your eyes, wearing sunglasses in the sun and using Ayurvedic remedies such as trifala eye wash, rose water, aloe vera gel and Ayurvedic eye drops is beneficial for the eyes. It helps to protect and take proper care of the eyes.”

Other preventive treatment to keep your eyes healthy

Dr. Mandeep Singh Basu concluded, “To protect your eyes during summer, make sure you wear sunglasses, avoid excessive screen exposure and clean your eyes regularly. By adopting Ayurvedic remedies, you can cool and nourish your eyes in a natural way.”
