Here under for the benefit of our readers we give few recipes which are very useful for them to keep their eyes in perfect state.
ROSE WATER
Fill in an eye (glass) cup to 2/3 capacity with rose water and revolve your eye in all the directions up, down, sideways. It will impart general comfort to the eyes, remove foreign matter, if any, improve eye-sight and cool the eyes. Keep the eye in rose water for 5-10 minutes. Repeat the process with the other eye.
TRIPHALA
It is a useful and quite often used combination for general health of the eyes. Amla (3/4 parts) Harar (2 parts) and Bahera (1 part) should be taken in the said quantity and divested of the kernels. Separate the soft part and reduce to powder form which should be used in the following forms (any form which is found suitable):
□ Soak the powder (1 tsp) in a glassful of water and filter through a sieve or a piece of muslin cloth and mix some extra water to it. Drink half quantity of the water on empty stomach in the morning.
□ Wash your eyes with the balance quantity of liquid. For doing so and to get optimum mileage use glass eye-cups and blink the eyes, at least 6-10 times. Repeat the process 2-3 times (changing the liquid each time). It will remove constipation and also keep the eyes healthy.
□ Those who cannot drink the Triphala water due to its disagreeable taste, should take jam of Myrobalan (one piece) in the morning on empty stomach and a piece of Harar jam with milk at night—an hour before retiring to bed; but diabetics should refrain from using it.
□ Soak 50 gms of Triphala in a glass of water at night. In the morning crush the contents in the same water and reduce to pulp form. Fry the same in cow’s ghee, add black pepper and salt and consume it in the same manner as you eat other cooked vegetables.
□ If a small Harar is sucked and its juice let in, it will prove effective in removing constipation and add to brightness of vision.
HONEY, ONION AND LEMON

These eye-drops are curative and preventive of host of eye disorders, apart from keeping the eyes lustrous, sparkling, neat and clean and, above all, improving the vision. If irritation ensues, drop only 1-2 drops of honey only. Efficacy of these eyedrops can be further enhanced if some quantity of rose water is added to the liquid compound.
