Overuse and misuse of the eye muscles cause weak eyesight. Weakness or heat of brain is considered to be the main cause of weak eyesight. Some of the common causes responsible for weak eyesight are; watching T.V. closely and for longer durations, unbalanced living and eating habits, reading continuously in a powerful light, digestive disorder and deficiency of vitamin A. Alcohol abuse and excessive worry can also produce weakness of the eyes.

There are several home remedies for weak eyesight which are easy to follow and simple to use. Some of the common home remedies are:

1. One of the simplest home remedies for weak eyesight is to consume food rich in vitamin A. Deficiency of vitamin A can result into many eyesight problems. Some of the good sources of vitamin A are milk cream, fresh milk, cheese, dates, soya beans, cabbage, lettuce, butter, turnip, tomatoes, oranges and green peas.

Moving from California to the Philippines has definitely given me many experiences, including but not limited to a huge increase of mosquito bites. Many of the following remedies I have tried, and others have been recommended:

1. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda with water into a paste and apply onto the bites. This should stop the itching and relieve discomfort.

2. Hot Water: On a cotton pad or small towel, run hot water (careful not to burn yourself, I really go overboard on this one) and place onto the bite. Repeat. The heat will confuse the nerves to relieve the itch for at least a couple of hours.

3. Lavender: The stuff works to repel bugs and to relieve bites. Mix a tablespoon of lavender essential oil with two tablespoons of a base oil (vegetable, coconut, olive, etc.). Rub onto bite. Because this oil is an antiseptic, it will relieve the itch and inflammation.

4. Toothpaste: Rubbing just a bit of toothpaste on the bite will begin to dry out and relieve irritation.

5. Mouthwash: Apply mouthwash onto a cotton ball and hold against the bite. This will provide itch relief and a cool soothing feeling.

6. Raw Onion: Cut open a raw onion and rub onto the bite. Onions contain quercetin, a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine which has even been recognized to help hay-fever suffers!

7. Tiger Balm (or other muscle rub): This was first recommended to me in the Philippines, and I thought there was some kind of language barrier confusion. I tried it anyway and found it to be cooling and really helpful in relieving the itch.
