🍵 How to Make Guava Leaf Tea for Eye Health
Ingredients
- 5–7 fresh guava leaves (tender, green ones are best)
- 1½ cups water
- Optional: ½ tsp honey (for taste — skip if diabetic control is priority)
Method
- Wash well – Rinse the guava leaves thoroughly to remove dust and any residue.
- Tear or crush – Lightly tear the leaves to release their natural oils.
- Boil – In a small pot, bring the water to a gentle boil.
- Simmer – Add the leaves, reduce heat, and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
- Strain – Pour through a fine sieve into a cup.
- Serve – Drink warm, preferably morning or early evening.
🌿 Why It’s Good for the Eyes
Guava leaves are rich in vitamin A, lutein, and antioxidants that can:
- Support retina health
- Protect against oxidative damage (helps delay age-related vision issues)
- Improve blood circulation to eye tissues
Tip: For sharper vision benefits, combine guava leaf tea with a diet high in carrots, pumpkin, spinach, and amla — all eye-friendly foods.
