Healthy Eyes Naturally

Healthy eyes are something we all want but how often and annoying
are those bacterial eye infections most of us suffer with from time to
time!Most of these are transported to the eye because we touch them
unwittingly by rubbing an itch. No matter how careful we are when it
comes to washing our hands there will always be some bacteria waiting
around desperately wanting to be spread!People who wear contact lenses
and young children who almost always have grubby hands and fingers
appear to be more susceptible to these bacterial infections.How can we
keep our healthy eyes germ and bacteria free naturally? This may
surprise you. Honey is the answer. Honey? You may think. How can honey
possibly keep my eyes healthy and bacteria free!Simple, honey (only a
pure honey) is capable of eating away and destroying bacteria.
Conjunctivitis and nasty things such as streptococci, haemophilus or
the staphylococci bacteria lurk around just waiting for a chance to
breed. Why let them breed in your eyes?Uncomfortable and itchy, red
and inflamed, tears falling down your cheeks and unable to see clearly
are all symptoms these little horrors have found a great breeding
ground.None of these are a problem for honey because as soon as you
drip a few drops into your eyes the glucose oxidase that honey
contains stimulates a natural form of hydrogen peroxide capable of
killing off those bacteria fast. And contrary to what most people
think, honey does not sting your eyes.Using a very clean and
sterilized bowl of cooled freshly boiled water with a little sea salt,
very clean fingers and a pad of cotton wool gently wipe the outside
area of the infected eye with the salt solution. Immediately after
this drip a little honey into the eye and rest with the infected eye
closed.Repeat this every four hours or so and in a few days the
infected area will soon be back to the way it should be. Use this
method as soon as you suspect a bacterial infection to stop it in its
tracks.
