How to relieve excessive eye strain during confinement

During the confinement period, the body is more sensitive and often watching TV and playing with mobile phones can cause damage to the eyes. For example, it is very easy to overuse the eyes during confinement, which can easily lead to myopia and blurred vision. How can we treat these?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the functions of all organs in the body are damaged after childbirth, and the eyes are no exception. The nine months of pregnancy will cause great changes to the mother's body. New mothers need to go through

It takes 4 to 6 weeks of recovery for the body to return to its pre-pregnancy state. The body of a new mother is already in a state of fatigue after giving birth, and she also has to take care of her newborn baby.

It is difficult to ensure adequate sleep, so rest should be the main focus.

If you feel bored, reading, watching TV or playing computer for an hour or so occasionally will not affect your eyesight. Even normal people will suffer from vision damage if they concentrate on using their eyes for several hours or all night. New mothers can use their own feelings as a criterion. If they feel their eyes are tired, they can stop using their eyes in time and there will be no problem.

Eye massage for postpartum mothers

Postpartum women whose eyes are easily tired can dip a towel in hot water (can be slightly hotter) before meals and before going to bed, wring it dry, apply the hot towel to the eyes for a few minutes, and then perform an eye massage.

1. Close your eyes, open your elbows, support the hairline above the bridge of your nose with the middle fingers of both hands, and use the pads of your thumbs to rub the depressions of your eyebrows. Press and rub with a little force, but do not overwhelm your eyeballs.

2. Keep the middle fingers of both hands on the hairline, and press along the brow bone with the thumbs, from the inside of the eye to the outside of the eye, until it reaches the top of the tail of the eye.

The above is about excessive eye use during confinement. In life, I suggest that friends who have just given birth should be careful not to play with mobile phones or watch TV for a long time, as this will cause harm to their body and eyes.
