Herble Eye Twiching Treatment at Home - Get Rid Of Eye Twitching

Eye twitching, also known as Blepharospasm, is an automatic, repetitive movement of the eyelids (usually the upper lid) that recurs every second or a few seconds. Eye twitching is generally for some time, but can be prolonged in some cases. It is not painful, but can turn out to be irritating, embarrassing and annoying because it disrupts the work you’re doing. 
Twitching may occur due to strain and fatigue in the eye, dry eyes, excessive coffee, medications and too much consumption of alcohol. Several conditions are linked with eye twitching such as entropion, light sensitivity, pink eye (conjunctivitis), trichiasis, uveris, and nervous system disorders. Here are some easy home remedies to get rid of eye twitching.

HOME REMEDIES TO GET RID OF EYE TWITCHING

1. Warm Compress

A warm compress makes the eye muscle function well and eventually, the involuntary movements of the eyelids stop. Take a towel or handkerchief and dip it in the warm water. After squeezing it, put it on the eye until the warmness is gone. Repeat the process 5-6 times a day.

2. Banana

One of the most common causes of eye twitching is the deficiency of potassium. Consume bananas regularly as they contain a large amount of potassium, which helps overcome twitching.

3. Hydrotherapy Technique

Alternate splashes from hot and warm water can help solve the issue of eye twitching. Start doing with cold water so that it constricts the blood vessels and then splatter the warm water to open up the pores. Repeat the process 8-9 times a day, for better and faster results.

4. Calcium

Calcium is an important component for keeping the nerves and nervous system in good health. In order to stop eye twitching, eat calcium-rich food like milk, yogurt, cheese, and orange juice.

5. Magnesium

Another effective remedy to treat eye twitching is consumption of magnesium-rich
food like avocados, seeds, beans, nuts, leafy greens, etc.

6. Rose Water

Rose water is a harmless cleanser. As one of the main reasons of twitching is dirt, use rose water as eye drops to cleanse, nourish, and relax the eye muscles.

Alternatively, you can use rose water compress. Just dip a cotton pad in rose water and cover your eyes with it.

7. Steam

Steam is another good way of treating eye twitching. It eases the nerve movement and removes all the dirt from the skin pores. All you have to do is add a few drops of eucalyptus in boiling water and take the steam for 10 minutes regularly.

Note: Cover your head with a towel while taking the steam.

8. Cucumber

One of the best remedies to soothe the eye muscle and ease the nerve movement is the cucumber. Keep a slice of chilled cucumber on the affected eye. Keep it until it comes to the room temperature.

9. Potato

The cooling effect of potatoes relaxes the muscles of the eyes, thus giving relief. All you have to do is cut a small potato into thin slices, and put these slices on your eyes.

10. Eye Massage

Massage the area around (below and above) the eyes with the help of the index finger. Massaging will eventually increase the blood circulation and strengthen the eye muscle. Repeat the process 5-6 times a day for at least 30 seconds.

EXERCISES FOR EYES

11. Hard Blinking

Hard blinking is a great way of treating eye twitching. Close your eyes very tightly and then open them wider than usual. This technique will moisturize the eyes. Keep repeating the process until the eyes produce tears. This remedy will provide rest to your eyelids.

12. Fast Blinking

Fast blinking not only helps remove any dirt from the eye, but also lubricates and relaxes the eye muscles. Blink fast and swiftly for about 20 seconds. Then take a little gap and repeat the process.

Note: Do not continue the process if it causes pain or irritation in the eyes.

13. Closing the Eyelids Halfway Down

Closing the eyelids halfway down can provide instant relief. Try doing it for at least thirty seconds. This remedy keeps the muscles strong and hydrated so that the problem of eye twitching doesn’t persist.

14. Breathing Exercises

Practicing the breathing exercises for ten minutes daily (before going to sleep and after waking up) can help reduce the stress level which, eventually, will stop the twitching problem.
