Diluted Guava Leaf Extract Eye Drops (Use With High Caution)
Some traditional practices include gentle guava leaf rinses—but they carry risk and must be completely sterile, diluted, and professionally supervised.
If attempted:
-
Use boiled, filtered, distilled water.
-
Strain multiple times.
-
Dilute at least 1:10.
-
Apply no more than one drop using sterile tools.
-
Stop immediately if discomfort occurs.
This method is not recommended without medical guidance.

-
Natural antioxidant eye creams
How to use:
-
Apply a small amount around the eye contour—not inside the eye.
-
Use light tapping motions to encourage absorption.
-
Ideal for puffiness, dark circles, or dryness.
