Reduced puffiness or morning eye strain
Eyes that feel more hydrated and bright
Less tension or fatigue around the eyes after screen time
Itâs not meant to be a quick fix. Instead, think of it as a small act of daily care that can build up benefits over time.
Benefits of Drinking Onion Juice (Not Applying It!)
Itâs very important to clarify: onion juice should never be applied directly to the eyes, as it can sting and irritate delicate tissues. Instead, when consumed as a drink, it may offer the following internal benefits:
Encourages the bodyâs natural production of glutathione, a protective antioxidant for the eyes
Provides support for the retina and surrounding tissues with plant-based nutrients
May reduce puffiness and inflammation near the eyes
Builds resilience against digital strain and environmental stress
This makes onion juice an internal, nutritional allyânever an external treatment.
