is honey good for eyes - #24490
I am wondering if honey is good for eyes since I've been dealing with some annoying dryness and irritation lately. Last week, I was at a wedding, and by the end of the night, my eyes were feeling super scratchy, like they were practically begging for relief. A friend mentioned that honey might help, saying it's good for eyes and can soothe them. I do remember hearing about using honey for its natural healing properties, but I'm not sure how valid that is or if it’s safe?? I mean, can applying honey directly to my eyelids or around my eyes really be beneficial? I did some googling, and came across some suggestions saying honey is good for eyes, especially in treating minor issues, but I found a lot of conflicting info too. I’ve tried over-the-counter drops, but they don't seem to last long enough. Also, does eating honey help with eye health or is it just for topical use? I really don’t want to end up making it worse or get an infection or something. Can anyone share their experiences or advice on how honey is good for eyes? I'd really appreciate it!
