This cup of “eye care tea” is chrysanthemum tea . This is a traditional Chinese medicine formula for removing liver fire and improving eyesight, which can stand the test of time and actual combat.

Chinese medicine believes that Lycium barbarum is sweet and flat in nature, can nourish the liver, nourish the kidney, moisten the lung, and treat dizziness, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, impotence and nocturnal emission, consumptive cough, etc. caused by deficiency of the liver and kidney.
Chrysanthemum and wolfberry are combined to make tea, which has the functions of dispelling wind and clearing heat, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, invigorating kidney and nourishing essence , especially suitable for eye fatigue, congestion, dryness and other discomforts.
In addition, chrysanthemum qi tea is mild in nature and taste, and people who need to use their eyes for a long time can drink it properly every day.

Raw materials: 10 grams of wolfberry, 8 chrysanthemums (Gong chrysanthemum is appropriate).
Method: Add all the ingredients to a kettle and brew with boiling water. Depending on the specific situation, add mulberry leaves and other mixed drinks.

Let me recommend a “turning eye protection method” to everyone :
Close your eyes slightly, relax your whole body, first turn your eyes 36 times clockwise and then 36 times counterclockwise. If it is inconvenient to close your eyes, you can also open your eyes.
2. Apply
Hot compress is the use of warm water vapor to act on the eyelid, relax the skin surface and muscle layer, accelerate blood circulation, relax the tense muscles of the eye , reduce eye fatigue , and improve blood supply around the eye.
After soaking a clean towel in warm water (about 40 degrees Celsius), apply it to the eyes for 10 minutes. During this process, it is necessary to use hot towels alternately, and then reheat after cooling, not for 10 minutes at a time.
In addition, during the rest time, after washing your hands, you can rub your hands to heat up , and then cover the eye area with your palms. Repeat this for 5-10 minutes, which can also help reduce eye fatigue, but do not press on your eyes during the process.

The last thing to remind everyone is that if you want to reduce eye fatigue, you should also reduce the time spent on electronic devices . Outside of work and study time, do not watch dramas, play games, etc. for a long time.
If you use your eyes for a long time, it is best to take a break every 20 minutes , look away from the screen, get up and look at the distance or green plants, and relax your eyes, which will help to adjust the sensitivity of your eyes.
