A black eye is caused by a blow to your face. It can lead to blurry vision, pain, headaches and swelling. A black eye can be seen as a sort of bruising to tissues surrounding your eyes.

There are many reasons causing black eyes. They include:

• Facelifts
• Nasal injuries
• Jaw surgery
• Allergic reasons

If you are contracting a black eye, do not rush. Keep calm and use home remedies. Natural treatments can bring good results to your eye. Before taking any methods, however, if the skin surrounding the eye is cut or in case you are suffering from symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and vomiting, you are highly suggested to consult your doctor right away.

Following are top home remedies for a black eye:

1. Ice pack

The first treatment you should think of is ice pack. Applying ice pack to your affected skin area can help treat black eyes effectively. Ice confers many health benefits, including treating a black eye. It helps remove swelling, thereby constricting your blood vessels to get rid of internal bleeding and bruising. It also accelerates the process of healing.

How to apply:

• Wrap some ice cubes in a cotton or cloth
• Apply it over your eyes and leave it on for 15 minutes
• Re-apply the treatment for a few times per day

The treatment can help ease pain.

2. Warm Compress

When having a black eye, you had better use warm compress after 1 or 2 days. This treatment aids in increasing the flow of blood to tissues and speeding up the healing process.

How to apply:

• Soak a cloth in warm water and remove excessive water by squeezing it
• Place the cloth over your affected skin area until it becomes cool down
• Perform the same process some times per day

If warm compress does not lead to any pain, you can have your eyes massaged gently. This can support your circulation of the blood, hence, removing dry blood under your skin

3. Pineapple and Papaya

The combination of pineapple and papaya is widely known as one of the most effective home remedies for a black eye. These two fruits contain high antioxidants which are used to accelerate the healing process of any kind problem resulting in skin discoloration.

How to apply:

• Rub the pulp of those fruits around your affected skin area
• Alternatively, all you need to do is consume the juice or eat them

4. Natural Oil

Natural oil is mentioned in the list of top home remedies for a black eye. The reason comes from its ability to ease the swelling as well as inflammation. Olive oil is one of the best choice because it is loaded with bruise healing content.

You can also use another oil like coconut and castor oil. As you massage with those oils, be gentle; otherwise it can lead to pain.

5. Comfrey Roots

Comfrey roots is one of the most effective home treatments for a black eye. It helps remove pain caused by a black eye.
