Cucumber Eye Clarity Duo Juice & Compress Remedy

Cucumber Eye Clarity Duo Juice & Compress Remedy

by

This dual-purpose recipe targets eye health from the inside and out. Cucumbers are packed with antioxidants like cucurbitacin and flavonoids, along with vitamin K and potassium, making them an ideal ally for reducing puffiness, easing eye strain, and nourishing the fragile capillaries around the eyes. The internal juice hydrates and detoxifies, while the external compress soothes inflamed tissue and enhances circulation.

We’ll pair cucumbers with supportive ingredients like mint, rosewater, and aloe vera to create a full-body wellness experience. Whether you’ve had a long day under screens or feel seasonal dryness creeping in, this ritual provides fast relief and lasting renewal.

🧂 INGREDIENTS:

For Juice (Internal Use):

  • 2 medium cucumbers (peeled or unpeeled based on texture preference)
  • 6 mint leaves
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ inch ginger root (optional for warmth)
  • 1 tbsp aloe vera juice (food-grade)
  • ½ cup filtered water or coconut water
  • Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 tsp raw honey or jaggery (optional)

For Compress (External Use):

  • 1 cucumber (thinly sliced or grated)
  • 1 tbsp rosewater
  • 1 tbsp aloe vera gel
  • 2 cotton pads or muslin cloth squares

🧃 INSTRUCTIONS:

Internal Juice Preparation:

  1. Ingredient Prep Wash cucumbers thoroughly. Chop into chunks for easy blending. Wash mint leaves, peel ginger, and juice the lemon.
  2. Blending Add cucumber, mint, ginger (if using), lemon juice, aloe vera juice, water, and salt to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, about 45 seconds.
  3. Strain & Sweeten Strain through muslin or sieve for a smoother texture. Stir in honey or jaggery to balance flavors. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving.
  4. Consumption Tip Drink in the morning or midday. Avoid late evening intake, as cucumber’s diuretic effect might disrupt sleep.

External Compress Preparation:

  1. Create the Blend Grate cucumber or slice thin. Mix with rosewater and aloe vera gel in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to activate the cooling enzymes.
  2. Prepare Pads Soak cotton pads or muslin cloth in the mixture. Gently squeeze to remove excess liquid and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  3. Apply Ritual Place chilled pads over closed eyes for 10–15 minutes. Breathe deeply. You may also dab the mixture across your orbital bone or temples for full facial relief.
