I have confirmation about the garlic. This Summer, Ive had to cut our lawn once a week because my Dad who usuallly does it had to go through surgery.
Naturally, I found that my eyes would get swollen, red, and the eyelid would get itchy and flaky. I dont think it is ordinary Excema.
Well Whenever I feel my eyelids getting burny- I'll get a clove of garlic-- slice it and rub it all over the eyelid and under the eye. Wow, does it burn., but you know what? The swelling goes down, and the itch stops!!
I have Aubrey's organic herbal deoderant spray with Candula- so I spray that on my face afterwards, and that further helps.
Garlic rubbed on a cut I had also took the redness and swelling away as well- immediately!.
