White-collar workers who often work with computers may experience dry and painful eyes due to continuous radiation and screen brightness. The eyes are considered the windows of the soul, highlighting their importance as a key organ for perceiving the outside world. To alleviate dry eyes, drinking certain herbal teas can help relieve eye fatigue and restore brightness!
Chrysanthemum and Wolfberry Tea
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, chrysanthemum is "sweet in taste and cold in nature, with the effects of dispelling wind and heat, calming the liver, and improving eyesight." Chrysanthemum is rich in vitamin A, which helps maintain eye health and is effective for dry eyes caused by liver fire or overuse.
Rose Black Tea
Rose can relieve fatigue and protect the liver, and since the liver and eyes are closely related, rose black tea also helps protect eyesight. Additionally, rose tea can beautify the skin and regulate blood circulation.
Cassia Seed Tea
Cassia seed has the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight. It is suitable for symptoms such as red, painful eyes, photophobia, excessive tearing, blurred vision, and dizziness. It is highly recommended for long-term computer users.
Lily and Red Date Porridge
Lily nourishes yin and reduces fire, yam nourishes the kidneys and moistens the lungs, coix seed benefits the spleen and clears dampness, and red dates are rich in vitamin C and vitamin A. This porridge not only prevents dry eyes but also improves eyesight.
Method: Wash lily, yam, coix seed, and red dates, then cook them together in water until done.
