Using Honey To Treat The Eyes.

Well I've been experiencing chronic pain and swelling in the eyes, probably due to allergies.

So I looked up natural remedies online and found out that honey has been used in the eyes for centuries. This didn't suprise me because honey has multiple medicinal qualities and now many doctors are recomending that their patients take it.

Anyway, you dilute honey with water (use as strong of a concentration as you can stand) and drip it in your eyes.

You must boil the water and honey first, mix, and then let cool for an hour or so. Just use your finger to stick the honey in your eye (as if putting in a contact.)

So I tried it, and I noticed that after the initial sting, my eyes didn't hurt as much. Went to sleep, woke up, and my eyes weren't swollen anymore. My eye color has become much more clear.

Questions, comments?

This is a popular remedy I've heard of before to treat an eye problem. I haven't tried it myself but it's cool that it works. A lot of natural remedies you find on the internet really don't work for me despite all the hype surrounding them. I've never tried honey (even for eating!) as my family always made maple syrup and it's about the same as honey but I'm not sure if it has the same medicinal qualities.

You can be confident about honey. It's the best natural treatment for many illnesses.

Glad to hear that it worked well for you. But would like to know how, it changed the color of your eyes: I guess the redness in your eyes disappeared, is it right?

It didn't change it, persay, but it did clear up the color. My eyes are hazel and used to have a foggy quality to them but now they appear much cleared.

And yes it did get rid of redness.

It doesn't surprise me about honey. I mean, it's always been known to
to help fix throat infections and heal vocal chords and such. It is probably
a lot more versatile than people realize.
If those big ugly bears will risk sticking their paws into honeycombs,
full of buzzing stinging bees,then I guess there must be something valuable there.

If this works great but I would have thought the honey would be sticky and therefore make it uncomfortable to put in to the eye.

I think natural remedies are the best and maybe should be always tried first.

I shall tell my friends who have allergies and end up with swollen eyes.

That's why you dilute it with water. Lol.
I dilute mine with a honey-water ratio of 1:2.
Just make sure your boil the water to remove impurities and to make the honey disolve better.
