Advantages: Make your eyes water naturally thus cleaning them

Disadvantages: The scent obviously makes you want to stop but keep persevering!

Take a couple of fresh onions and take your time to chop them up finely while those tears give your eyes a bit of a natural wash thus helping to remedy dry eyes or sore eyes.
Even better, drink a glass or two of water about half an hour beforehand so your tears will be purer perhaps.
Yesterday I was chopping onions for the tea and thinking to myself I need to buy more eyewash although I couldn't be bothered going to the supermarket for it on a Sunday afternoon.
My eyes were feeling dry and a little sore and normally I use some sort of eyewash day to day to keep them moist. After about 15 minutes washing then chopping onions on the chopping board, my eyes started to feel much better and it was all thanks to chopping a couple of fresh onions.
Today (Monday) my eyes still feel better and I probably won't need any eyewash for a couple of days yet.
Always remember to wash the onions first and using fresh onions is best for the tears.

Summary: A natural remedy
