A black eye would at least take a week to heal completely when you follow these home remedies mentioned below properly.

  • Cold compress helps. Wrap ice in a plastic bag and apply it on your black eye for 5-10 minutes every 2 hrs.


    Do not put any pressure on the eyeball. This when practiced for first two days will help to reduce swelling and decrease internal bleeding by constricting the blood vessels in the eye.
  • After 2 days switch to warm compress.


    Put warm water in a small bottle and place it over the eye. This practice will speed up the healing process by improving blood circulation.
  • Gently massage caster oil on the black eye; this will help to decrease the swelling.
  • Relax. Avoid stress, especially facial stress/pressure. Rest will help in the healing process.

If the pain increases and there are problems in your vision then consult a specialist for immediate medical assistance.
