A gentle cooled tea from guava leaves is a popular home remedy for dry or tired eyes. Some small studies suggest guava leaf extracts have antibacterial effects, which could support eye comfort when used topically.
Step-by-step:
- Wash 8–10 fresh guava leaves thoroughly.
- Boil them in 2 cups of water for 10 minutes.
- Let cool completely, then strain.
- Use as a gentle eye wash (dip a clean cloth and apply) or drink as tea.
Always test on a small area first and avoid getting it directly in your eyes if you’re sensitive.
Here’s the interesting part—many people combine this with eating the fruit for broader benefits.
