Fresh white cabbage juice, mixed with a touch of honey, was used by the ancient Greeks to relieve sore or inflammed, moist running eyes.


English beekeepers dissolve honey in warm water and drip into the eyes. Then they soak a linen compress in the solution and hold it over each eye for 10 to 15 minutes.


Eyeglasses Need Cleaning?

Just squirt a tiny amount of dishwashing liquid onto the inside and outside of the lenses. Rub the soap around with your fingertips and rinse well with warm water. Use a soft cotton cloth to dry.


Reduce swelling/bags under eyes, brew a cup of strong rosehip tea. Soak 2 cotton balls in the tea, lie down and place over the eyes. One small rosehip has about 10 mg of Vitamin C, and some Vitamin A. Different species of rosehips contain different amounts of Vitamin C. Rosehips ripen in early autumn, but are best for eating after the third frost. When processing rosehips, remember Vitamin C loss is greater in copper and aluminum pots than in enamel or glass.


Cyani flowers soothe the nervous system and exert a positive influence on tissues of the eyes.


Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.
-- Saint Francis de Sales


I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.
brHelen Keller


Just because a man lacks the use of his eyes doesn't mean he lacks vision.
Stevie Wonder


I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.
Ray Charles
