Today's useless fact - Are there any home remedies that can improve poor eyesight?

Palming is one of the best exercise which is taught in yoga. Place your palms over your closed eyes, letting the fingers cross over at the forehead. Slightly cup your palms such that you are not pressing on the eyeballs. Feel the warmth of the hands radiate and diffuse gently into your eyeballs. Think of the most peaceful scene that you can imagine. Relax... A few things to note:

* Do not press against the eyeballs with your palms. This will put pressure on the blood vessels in the eyeballs and reduce circulation of blood and nutrients.

* Make sure that as much light as possible is blocked out by the palms. The exact position of the palms is up to the individual. Crossing the fingers at the forehead usually helps.

* Put yourself in a comfortable and proper posture e.g. don't slouch

* Remember to keep your eyes closed, behind the palms.

* And keep your hands clean, otherwise there will be the attack of the pimples!

Sunning: Close your eyes and face the sun directly. Slowly move your head left and right to let the sunshine reach every part of your retina. Notice the sun moving in the opposite direction. Breathe deeply and slowly.

After this, you can do a variation. Imagine that your eyes shoot laser beams. Using your "eye lasers", trace around the edge of the sun. First do in a clockwise direction, then change direction. After sunning, finish up the session by palming for about 2 minutes. Check out the links in our Eyesight category for more.
