It can be seen that some people say that "Jinshi myopia" is exaggerated, but it is not a joke. However, in ancient times, it was impossible to treat myopia directly. There are only some ways to adjust and relieve eye fatigue, which is also very simple, similar to the way modern people prevent myopia and relieve fatigue.
First, apply hot water to your eyes.
It is said that Su Shi was "devastated" when he tried this method excessively with his eyes. In fact, hot compress around eyes with wet towel can effectively improve local blood circulation, eliminate eye fatigue and improve symptoms of dark circles.
Second, medlar chrysanthemum soaked in water
Lycium barbarum and chrysanthemum soaked in water have the effect of clearing away heat and reducing fire, which is suitable for patients with excessive internal heat. Chrysanthemum and Lycium barbarum also have the function of protecting eyesight, and can also treat liver fire, liver and kidney deficiency, eye pain, red eyes and blurred vision caused by excessive eye use.
Third, complementary food.
Foods containing carotene can eliminate red blood, such as carrots, pumpkins and spinach.
In addition, remember to "protect your eyes first, then protect your liver". Most of the eye problems come from the liver, so we should eat more foods that reduce liver fire, such as mulberry, bitter gourd, lotus root and celery.
Fourth, adjust the lighting.
When the ancients read books at night, they often put a pot of Acorus tatarinowii on the book case, and used Acorus tatarinowii to absorb the black smoke from the lamp to protect their eyes. If you have money, you can also use medlar oil to light a lamp. Strong light won't hurt eyes, and the modern dimming method is the same as the principle of Lycium barbarum oil lamp. Too much and dim light will harm eyes, so adjusting the light to the appropriate brightness is beneficial to eye development.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) outdoor activities
The most convenient way to protect your eyes is to put down your mobile phone and books, go outside and have a look, or close your eyes and have a rest. The poet Liu Yuxi has a deep understanding of this. He reminded his friend Bai Juyi to "cut down on books to save his eyesight, save trouble and nourish his heart" in the poem "Sitting and Remembering Lotte and Asking about Wine Cooked".
