Introduction:
Looking for a natural way to support your eye health? This traditional remedy combines the soothing properties of castor oil with the gentle alkalinity of baking soda. While it won’t replace medical treatment or prescription lenses, many users claim this mix helps soothe eye strain, reduce puffiness, and support overall eye wellness. Always consult your optometrist before trying any at-home treatment.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil
½ teaspoon aluminum-free baking soda
1 tablespoon distilled water (optional for dilution)
Instructions:
In a small, sterilized glass bowl, mix baking soda and castor oil until it forms a smooth paste.
For a thinner consistency, add distilled water and mix well.
Using clean fingers or a cotton swab, gently apply a small amount of the mixture around the eyes (avoid direct contact with eyes).
Leave it on overnight and rinse off in the morning with lukewarm water.
Repeat 2–3 times a week for best results.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Store the mixture in a small airtight glass container.
Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Use within 7–10 days for freshness.
Always use clean hands or tools to avoid contamination.
