The cause for puffy eyes should be identified first. Reasons can include heredity, lack of sufficient sleep or oversleeping, hangovers, fluid imbalances, hormonal imbalance, or hypothyroidism. If it is accompanied by itchiness or redness then it can be due to an allergy or dermatitis.
Try the following home remedies to reduce the puffiness under your eye -
- Splash cold water on eyes several times a day. This will not only help to improve blood circulation but also help in appropriate distribution of fluid. Also to improve blood circulation you can lightly tap the upper and lower eyelids with your finger tips.
- Place cold moist tea bags (tannins in tea helps) on your eyelids to reduce puffiness.
- Take a fresh cucumber or raw peeled potato. Cut thin slices and place them on the eyes for about 15 minutes. This will help you to reduce the puffiness.
- Instant relief for morning puffiness is cold compress. Place some ice cubes in the plastic bag and use them as compress, however don’t press hard to put any pressure on the eye balls.
- Get adequate sleep and drinks lots of water.
If puffiness is due to some injury or if there is some discharge or pain consult a specialist for exact diagnosis and treatment.
