What to do if your eyelids are swollen due to inflammation

1. Bitter recipes:

The bioalkali contained in bitter foods has the effect of relieving heat and promoting blood circulation. It is the natural enemy of "internal fire" and can effectively deal with the "fire" in the body and heart.

Dish recommendation: Wash the bitter melon, add some salt and sesame oil and eat it cold. This will not destroy the nutritional components of the bitter melon itself. You can also cut the bitter melon into slices and make tea or juice. Drinking raw bitter melon juice can enable the body to quickly absorb a large amount of effective ingredients in bitter melon. You can also add fresh celery leaves to water and boil them to extract juice, or blanch fresh celery in boiling water and then squeeze out the juice, which can also clear away heat and relieve summer heat after eating.

2. Light recipes:

In the hot summer, people often have a poor appetite and reduced digestive function, so we should choose light foods with yin-nourishing effects in summer. Fresh fruits and vegetables naturally have the effect of cooling down and reducing body temperature, such as watermelon, cucumber, tomato, strawberry, beans and bean products, as well as some fruit juices. In addition, you can also eat some "heat-relieving medicinal porridge", such as mung bean porridge, lotus leaf porridge, etc.

Special porridge drink: Strawberry and mung bean porridge is not only bright in color, sweet and delicious, but also light and heat-removing. Use an appropriate amount of mung beans, pick out impurities, wash them clean, and soak them in clean water for four hours; select an appropriate amount of strawberries, pick and wash them clean, wash the glutinous rice clean, put them into the pot together with the soaked mung beans, add an appropriate amount of clean water, boil it over high heat, then turn to low heat and cook until the rice grains are blooming and the mung beans are soft, add strawberries and white sugar, stir well, and cook for a while.

3. Aromatic recipes:

Some aromatic herbs, such as chrysanthemum, mint, lemon, cabbage and other foods are rich in minerals, especially calcium and magnesium, which have the effects of calming the mind, reducing internal heat or lowering blood pressure. Therefore, eating more and more aromatic foods in summer can calm the mind and reduce internal heat.

Special tea: Drinking a few cups of chrysanthemum tea or mint tea every day can effectively suppress the "anger" in the body, calm the mind and relieve fatigue. Chrysanthemum tea can also be reused. After cooling slightly, you can apply it on your eyes to eliminate inflammation and swelling caused by the sun's burning rays.
