Is a cup of tea good for dry eye?

[starbrightboy]

Just after some thoughts. Usually in the morning i have a steamy shower and have a cup of tea. This helps me wake up and i feel as though my eyes are more relaxed. Anybody got any idea as to if tea does help and how?

I think the relaxation is good, but I would do caffiene free because I have heard that caffiene is a very drying substance to the digestive tract. I would guess it might not be good for the eyes either.

Chamomile is a nice relaxing tea. I've no idea if it does anything for the eyes. You should post this in the U.K. forum! If anyone would know about tea, they would!

My nutritionist says only one cup of tea per day if I must, and no coffee. I'm Irish so this was tough with the tea.

Howver caffenine free tea is fine.
