The eyes are the windows to your soul! That’s not original, but it’s true! For clear, lustrous eyeball windows and a fresh clean face, I suggest including the following as part of your morning routine, or dinacharya as they say in ayurveda.
Cup cold water with your hands and gently open and close your eyes in the water. Blink your eyes seven times and rotate your eyes in all directions. This will help stimulate and refresh your nervous system and fully awaken you.
Want to take eye care a step further? Try an herbal eye wash:
